Nice weather continues out there this week with above normal temperatures and dry conditions, for now. Low pressure moving inland to our north will weaken high pressure over the area by the end of the week leading to cooler temperatures and increased clouds. A closed low-pressure system digging south off the California coast will swing inland to our south Later Friday and Saturday, generating a rain few showers across the area, but amounts currently look light. This will open the door for additional storms to dig further south next week, with our first snowfall of the season possible later next week. Expect sunny skies today with highs in the lower 60s, east to northeast winds will continue 5-10 mph. Clear and cool tonight with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Little change for tomorrow and Thursday with a high around 60, winds mostly light & variable.

Clouds and winds will increase on Friday with cooler temperatures as high drop back into the 50s. As low pressure skirts the area, we could squeeze out some light showers Friday night or Saturday, with the snow level generally above 8,000 feet, rainfall amounts should remain under a quarter of an inch. Sunday currently looks dry before another Pacific storm arrives on Monday. This system will move in from the north bringing with it colder air and better prospects for snowfall above 7,000 feet, falling Monday night into Tuesday. Additional storms are possible later next week with even colder air and snow levels as low as 5,000 feet, but at this time, it looks like they're directed more into Central and Northern California with a trailing cold front swinging through our area. Computer forecast models still differ a lot this far out on exact timing and intensity, so be prepared for winter weather conditions next and always carry chains!
