A powerful winter storm will push into the west coast this weekend bringing widespread rain and snow state-wide. The heaviest precipitation will remain to our north, but we also have a good shot at significant precipitation Sunday into Monday. Expect clear skies tonight under a gorgeous full moon witgh light winds as lows in the teens. Fair and a smidge warmer tomorrow and Saturday as daytime temperatures reach the mid 40's, while overnight lows drop into the upper teens and 20's. Clouds and winds will increase Saturday night ahead of our approaching storm with rain developing on Sunday. This system will once again tap into a weakening AR, which could start us off with some rain, but as the cold front arrives Sunday afternoon the snow level will fall to around 3,000 feet Monday morning. Snow showers may linger into Monday with clearing skies by afternoon as this storm exits the area. Rainfall amounts of around 0.50" are possible with several inches likley on the lower coastal slopes. The snow level may start out near 7,000 feet before falling rapidly to around 5,000 feet by Sunday afternoon where upwards of 4-8" of snow are likely, with localized amounts near 1 foot possible. This storm will also be accompanied by a very strong winds with gusts 40-50+ expected later Saturday into Sunday. Another strong storm is possible towards next weekend with more unsettled weather continuing through the Christmas holiday. When traveling into the mountains during the winter months, always be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions and carry tire chains.
