... Colder and wetter weather expected for the middle of next
week and the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend...
A significant change in the weather will occur beginning Tuesday
and continuing through the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend... with two
separate storm systems expected to impact the Mojave Desert and
southern Great Basin. The first system will approach the coast of
California by Tuesday afternoon then move inland Tuesday night and
Wednesday. This system could bring widespread precipitation to the
Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin... with significant snow
accumulations possible in the high mountains. Snow levels are
expected to lower to around 6000 feet by Wednesday afternoon.
A brief break in the wet weather is expected Thanksgiving day
before a second Pacific storm is forecast to drop down the West
Coast Friday and Saturday. Details are less certain with this
second system... though it will have the potential to impact the
entire region with another round of rain in the valleys and
accumulating snow in the mountains.
Those planning travel... or with outdoor plans for the Holiday
weekend... should keep informed with the latest forecasts and be
prepared to encounter winter driving conditions in the mountains.
Rain at the lower elevations will cause slippery roads as it mixes
with oil and dust.
