You usually won't start looking at any sort of snowfall predictions until 5 days or less before a storm. That puts us in the window for the storm that will affect the area on Thursday. Confidence is increasing that we will see at least some snow.
There is a storm diving down the coast tomorrow but it will stay too far West to affect us. It will bring in some colder air to start the week. Then the next storm will come onshore in the Pacific NW on Wednesday. The exact track is still not certain with this storm, but the latest model runs bring it South right over the Sierra on Thursday.
Right now with the track not certain it is hard to pinpoint how much snow we will get. If the latest model runs were to pan out we would pick up 3-6 inches of snow. This is not the big dump we are looking for but it's snow and we'll take any snow we can get right now.
There is no sign of a break through of the Westerlies and big storms yet. There will more chances for snow though during week 2 as storms try and come over the ridge off the coast. Stay tuned....BA
