| Enjoyed a nice start to our week with warmer temperatures on tap for us Tuesday, quickly cooling Wednesday as a fast-moving storm brings a few snow showers to the area, then fair and warmer again through the end of the week. Aside from a few high clouds we're looking at mostly sunny skies out there today with easterly winds turning southwesterly 10-20mph during the afternoon, highs in the mid-50's. A low-pressure system will approach from the northwest tonight with clouds increasing through Wednesday morning. This will be a closed low-pressure system so its exact track won't really be known until it happens, it will most likley side-step southern California and move inland across San Diego/Northern Baja with the heaviest precip towards the coast. Expect scattered snow showers to develop late morning possible continuing into the evening as highs drop into the 40's. The snow level could fall to around 5,000 feet with only a few inches of snow possible, enough to make for hazardous travel, be safe & carry chains! This system will exit the area Wednesday night with clearing skies Thursday and warmer temperatures through the weekend. Another, weaker system could brush the area on Saturday, but chances for precip look pretty small at this time. Our next decent shot at rain and snow will arrive towards the middle of next week. When traveling to the mountains during the winter months, always be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions. Carry extra food, water, and warm clothing in the event you become stranded, and always carry chains! |
