Hey Hey Giovanni here! Your weatherguy. Here are this week’s Podcast shownotes.
Weather rewind:
-Dry warm week turns cold and rainy.
-Late season upper level Low stalled out over the Sierra and western Nevada and brought showers and severe t’storms to NorCal.
– We had snow flurries down to 3000ft at times with heavy snow along the Sierra causes closures along Hwy 80 due to numerous accidents.
-Total rainfall with this storm reached 0.42″

Weekly Forecast:
-A zonal flow will keep us cooler with a slight chance of showers through much of the coming week as another, but weaker upper level Low drops into NorCal on Tuesday.
-Best chance for rain will be north of Hwy 80 and over the Sierra Crest.
-Unsettled weather pattern will turn warm and dry late in week as High pressure dominates our weather.
-T’storms each afternoon this week may produce brief heavy rain, windy conditions and snow above 7500ft.
-Severe t’storm development is unlikely as the jet stream will remain to our north.
*Statewide Sierra snow pack is at around 27% of normal for this date!
