Will it snow??? Sure looks like it. It's been blowing wind all night and wall of clouds came over the valley since yesterday. But the forecast reads "The system passing through is, as expected, too warm for snow at the resorts, though the peaks above 9,000 feet should have a decent dump of snow on them. Showers generally taper off this morning with skies clearing as this system pulls out of the area today. Cold today for so early in the season."

And then for Sunday and the rest of the week:
TOMORROW THROUGH 6 DAYS - Unseasonably STRONG (just like we want them to be) large scale (longwave) low pressure develops over the west, but for Monday we only see some cloudiness and sun mixed as we are in between systems. On Tuesday, winds really increase with similar chilly temperatures expected in a continued moist flow aloft. The lower coastal slopes will likely see some drizzle and even light showers, dry at the resorts above. A strong system developing and dropping through California sends some serious wind and a cold front through Tuesday evening/ night, with snow levels going from 9,000 feet down to 7,500 feet by evening. Snow is possible at the base of the resorts by Wednesday morning and on Wednesday as this strong system moves through. We may get a few inches of snow at the base elevations, with better snowfall possible up top. The peaks could really get dumped on. Wednesday does clear out as this strong system leaves. Thursday looks drier and chilly in a pre-high pressure northwest flow aloft. Not a bad series of events to prime the area for snowmaking and a new season! Warmer Friday, but we may have to watch for a Pacific storm brushing the area Saturday and Sunday with some clouds and wind.
