.DISCUSSION...

Clouds filtering in along the Sierra from the southeast are arriving
courtesy of an upper low that has formed along the coast of southern
California. Snow showers above 7000 feet will begin to rotate
northward into the Sierra this morning, lifting as far north as the
southern shores of Lake Tahoe later this afternoon. Overall, amounts
are expected to be light, with generally 0.5-1.0 inches of fresh
snowfall and isolated peaks receiving up to 2 inches. With the
system being rather transient in nature, we will see this on its way
shortly after nightfall tonight. The clearing skies will allow for
temperatures to fall a couple degrees below last night`s lows,
bringing near freezing temperatures back to western Nevada valleys
for a couple nights.

Overall, afternoons this weekend will keep the same warm, dry flavor
that we have been under for awhile. Light winds and inversions will
also be featured the majority of the weekend. By Sunday, hints of
our next system will begin to materialize first for northeastern
California, eventually drifting into the Sierra and even some
western Nevada valleys. This may be the beginning of the pattern
shift many of our snow sports enthusiasts have been seeking. Snow
amounts for the early week system still look a bit light, with snow
levels looking to start out around 8000 feet, tumbling to around
5000 feet for the northern Sierra and 7500 feet for the southern
portion of the Sierra across Mono County. Overall, amounts look to
be less than 1 inch for most areas with isolated peaks gathering up
to 3 inches of fresh snow. Valleys below will see a rain/snow mix as
snow levels take a sharp decline to valley floors early Wednesday
and Thursday, possibly even bringing light snow for a brief
period ahead of day break on Wednesday. Confidence is lower on how
timing of moisture and cold air in place may affect the outcome
and amounts.

Another piece of information that is unclear is just how long this
system will be with us. If the ensemble solutions are correct, we
could be under the influence of the low pressure circulation through
the rest of the work week into the weekend. Check back in future
discussions to find out more about this upcoming wetter pattern.
