...UNSETTLED WEATHER RETURNS TO EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN
NEVADA THIS WEEK...
After a long awaited break in our stormy winter, the weather in
eastern California and western Nevada will become unsettled
once again this week into next weekend.
A storm will impact the region starting as early as Tuesday
night, with the heaviest precipitation Wednesday. Snow levels with
this storm will hover above 6500 feet until Wednesday night when
they drop to near 5500 feet. While no where near as strong as the
storms we have seen so far this winter, this one will bring up to
a foot of heavy, wet snow to the higher elevations and maybe a
few inches down to 6000 feet. Most of the precipitation below 6500
feet will fall as rain until Wednesday night.
Moderate rain below 6500 feet may begin melting snow with this
storm. There is very little snow below 5500 feet, contributing
less to potential runoff. Runoff from the rain and melting snow
are likely to increase flows in area rivers and streams, but
flooding is not expected at this time. Locations with significant
snow below 6500 feet may see some ponding when the rain falls if
drains are not clear.
Showers will linger through Thursday, then another storm will
begin to move into the area Friday night into next Saturday. This
one should also produce high elevation snow and valley rain.
Precipitation amounts are far less certain with this system.
