Clouds and winds will increase again through Thursday morning as our next storm arrives late morning with snow showers developing, possibly heavy at times into the afternoon. This system will once again be accompanied by strong westerly winds, with gusts over 50 mph possible. Temperatures will remain in the 20s throughout the day, with the snow level dropping as low as 3,000 feet. Additional accumulations of 4-8 inches are possible. Snow showers will taper off Thursday night into Friday morning as low pressure finally exits the region. This will lead to weak ridging over the weekend for drier conditions and a return to near-normal temperatures, a perfect bluebird weekend! Another storm is currently forecast to arrive late Monday into Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Unfortunately, this low-pressure system will likely tap into an atmospheric river, which could make for a very wet storm with the snow level above 9,000 feet. Of course, this is still a ways out and a lot can change, so be sure to check back often for updates. If you have travel plans this week in the mountains, be prepared for dangerous, winter weather driving conditions, and always carry tire chains! R2 restrictions remain in effect on all mountain roads at this time. For the most up-to-date chain restriction information, check socalmountains.com (click here)
