Soggy weather continues to ring in the New Year as low pressure over Central California continues to draw moisture northward across the region. Added instability with daytime heating may even spark a few thunderstorms this afternoon with the snow level above 10,000 feet. Highs will reach the upper 40s with southwest winds gusting 10-20 mph at times. Expect showers to taper off this evening as low pressure exits the area with lows in the 30s. We'll get a short break in the action tomorrow, a chance to dry out between storms with more unsettled weather arriving over the weekend. Highs will remain in the upper 40s on Friday with overnight lows in the 30s, southwest winds 5-10 mph. Clouds and winds will once again increase Friday night with showers and thunderstorms likely over the weekend. This next storm will be a little colder, pushing the snow level down around 8,000 feet, possibly dropping to near 7,000 feet late Sunday. So we could start to see some snowfall at least at resort levels. This deep trough along the West Coast will send additional storms through the region next week, with rain and snow showers continuing. The snow level should also gradually lower, finally getting down around 6,000 feet next Tuesday or Wednesday. Additional rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are possible through the weekend, with more rain and snow expected throughout next week. If you have travel plans into the mountains, be prepared for winter weather driving conditions and always carry chains!
