It was a beatiful Spring weekend here at Sierra but that is all about to change this week as lots of cold and snow is on the way. It looks like we are going to have good conditions to finish the season. Ironically it will be better than what we had in the middle of the Winter.
The first storm has actually been spinning off the coast all weekend. That will continue on Monday before the next system behind it pushes it inland beginning Tuesday. We will see the winds pick up Monday and Tuesday as it nears and then some snow showers as early as later in the day. The heaviest snow looks to hold off until Wednesday. It looks like we could see 1-3 inches Tuesday night and another 2-4 inches on Wednesday. Another inch or two Wednesday night would bring us to storm total of 6-9 inches.
The next storm is ready to dive in right behind the first one and this one will will have more moisture. It looks like we could see some snow showers move in ahead of the system on Thurday but the heaviest snow will fall Thursday night into Friday with the cold front. The center of the storm looks like it will move inland Friday keeping the snow showers going. It may move through slowly enough to keep the snow showers going all the way into Saturday morning.
It looks like a quick dump Thursday night into Friday morning of 12-18 inches on the mountain. Then the snow showers will add several more inches on the mountain Friday and Friday night. Total for this storm looks to be over a foot at the base and up to 2 feet at the summit. All told we could see 2-3 feet on the mountain by next Saturday.
That looks like it will be it for the season snow wise but stick around to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather the final week fo the season. Looking at the long-range forecast it looks like the storm activity will shift just to our North the second week. Then we close and it looks like the Spring weather will continue until the end of the month. BA
