TOTALS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT THIS IS THE SYSTEM WE’LL BE WATCHING. IT’S GOING TO MOVE RIGHT DOWN THE CALIFORNIA COAST. IT’S NOT ACTUALLY COMING INLAND, WHICH KIND OF LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT WILL GET OUT OF IT. IT ALSO LIMITS THE WIND. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BREEZY ON FRIDAY, AND WE’LL GET SOME RAIN THROUGH THE VALLEY AND INTO THE FOOTHILLS. THE HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN WILL COME FRIDAY EVENING. SATURDAY IS MORE OF A SHOWERY DAY. SNOW LEVEL NOT TOO BIG OF A CONCERN. IT SHOULD HOVER BETWEEN 4500FT AND 5000FT BETWEEN FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND EVEN INTO SUNDAY AND FINAL SNOW TOTALS IN GENERAL. ABOUT. 10 TO 16IN AT PAST LEVEL. I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE DAY TO DAY BREAKDOWN HERE IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT HERE’S THE SYSTEM AGAIN DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY MORNING IS DRY. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING THROUGH THE SIERRA, IT SHOULD BE FINE. DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY, BUT AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING, THAT’S WHERE WE START TO GET INTO CHAIN CONTROL, WHICH SHOULD LAST THROUGH SATURDAY. IT’S ALSO GOING TO BE AGAIN SOGGY FOR THE VALLEY IN THE EVENING. SATURDAY IS THIS LOW DROPS TO THE SOUTH. WE START TO LOSE SOME OF THE MOISTURE. STILL SOME STEADY SNOW UP IN THE SIERRA, ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND WE’LL SEE THE ON AND OFF SHOWERS IN THE VALLEY. NOT A SOAKING RAIN SUNDAY. A COUPLE MORE INCHES OF BONUS SNOW POSSIBLE AROUND TAHOE AND A STRAY SHOWER IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE VALLEY. BUT IF YOU’VE GOT OUTDOOR PLANS FOR EASTER SUNDAY, I THINK A LOT OF SPOTS IN THE VALLEY ARE GOING TO STAY TOTALLY DRY THROUGH SUNDAY. AND SAME THING GOES FOR THE FOOTHILLS AS WELL. HERE’S A LOOK AT RAINFALL TOTALS. THIS IS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY COMBINED. ANYWHERE FROM A QUARTER TO MAYBE 4/10 OF AN INCH IN THE VALLEY. SO VERY MANAGEABLE RAINFALL TOTALS. WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT FLOODING ISSUES AND STREETS AND ROADS SHOULD BE JUST FINE INTO THE FOOTHILLS. HALF AN INCH TO MAYBE A COUPLE SPOTS CLOSER TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL. HERE’S THE DAY TO DAY BREAKDOWN FOR SNOW. HEAVIEST OF THE SNOW IS GOING TO COME FRIDAY EVENING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WE’LL SEE 6 TO 10IN OF SNOW FRIDAY, SATURDAY MAINLY A LIGHT SNOW AND THERE MAY BE SOME BREAKS AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY INTO THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER 4 TO 6IN AT DONNER AND ECHO SUMMIT AND INTO SUNDAY WITH ON AND OFF SNOW SHOWERS, 1 TO 3IN OF SNOW, CHAIN CONTROL LESS LIKELY ON SUNDAY, BUT YOU SHOULD EXPECT IT FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS. GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, SO SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WEEKEND, BUT IMPROVING AND GETTING SOME NICE SPRING SKIING CONDITIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR THE FOOTHILLS. IT’S SOGGY FOR THE SECOND HALF OF FRIDAY SATURDAY KIND OF SHOWERY AS WELL. SUNDAY WE’LL SEE SOME BETTER BREAKS IN THAT WET WEATHER, ALLOWING FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING. AND FOR THE VALLEY. AGAIN, I THINK WE’RE DRY AS WE GO INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY, JUST ALLOWING FOR THAT CHANCE FOR A STRAY SHOWER JUST IN CASE. AND FOR THOSE THAT A
