Summary

Today we have increasing clouds and wind with ridge top winds picking up to 80+ mph by afternoon. By late afternoon a strong cold front approaches with heavy snow ahead of and with the front, with lighter snow showers lingering into the day on Friday. Total snowfall by Friday afternoon could be 2-8 inches at lake level, and 4-15 inches on the mountains. For the weekend we clear out but with cold air is in place. High temperatures may only be in the 30's at the base and 20's on the upper mountain. It looks like the next storm will move through Sunday night into the day on Monday. This storm looks to have low snow levels as well. We could maybe see another 1-2 inches at lake level, and 2-4 inches on the mountains by Monday. Another cold system looks to move in Wed-Thu next week. It could be a little wetter, more in line with the tonight's storm. Then high pressure builds in with drier and possibly a little warmer weather for the weekend of the 27th. We are watching to see if the ridge will back away from the coast the week of the 29th to allow another storm.
