Decent Start.

Forecast totals are up a bit today.  That is good news for the water collection.  And with these colds temps, we will continue to build a snow pack.  Two tenths of an inch so far on the Westside.  Half of that in the late afternoon.  The rest falling with this current burst.  Radar suggest we are in the midst of a cell.  It is dumping in the mountains and Love Creek is already at a half inch of rain.  This rain should taper well after mid night, and in fact, we might see our heaviest fall rates in the very early morning hours.  We could see a half inch here in town and more than double that in the local mountains.  The Sierra Crest is looking at up to a foot of snow on the highest peaks.  This is the main hit, and it is moving fast.  We will need to watch tomorrow to see how the showers fill in.  NOAA is calling for decreasing chances of rain throughout the day.  GFS keeps very light rain chances around through most of Thursday and into the night.  Either way, prepare for clouds and drizzle on Thursday.

Kirkwood was real fun last week.  Bombs away.

Friday will be a day of clearing.  I'd like to say warming, but it will be chilly, sticking around in the 50s.  We will see some warming and sunshine over the weekend.  Low 60s Saturday.  Upper 60s Sunday and Monday, then we moderate and hang in the mid 60s through the start of next week.

BTW, in the hour or so it too to write and post this, we already received almost another tenth of an inch of rain, so yeah, we should easily top a half inch.
