Chance of Wind and Rain.

That about sums it up.  More fair weather today and tomorrow.  Seasonable temperature.  Thursday could even be a little warm, pushing into the upper 60s.  Some clouds.  Friday morning will be cloudy, with a southerly breeze developing.  Rain showers looking possible by mid day and into the evening.  Little to no accumulation.  Perhaps just enough to dampen the surface.


Saint Oars' in Loche, France.


Saturday looks much like today; perhaps with a little more cloud cover.  Another system comes ashore on Sunday.  Currently, it looks like the storm will arrive overnight on Sunday, and into the day Monday.  Some light showers could persist into the evening hours of Monday.  This storm also looks like it will be falling apart as it moves on shore.  Just like last Monday's and Friday's, but this one will hold it together just a bit longer, and bring us some actual rain fall.  Maybe even a little snow for the mountains.  Three quarters of an inch of rain possible in town and up to six inches of snow up on Sierra Crest near Tahoe.  Nothing exciting, and nothing like the string of storms at the end of November and the first few days of December.  Still, more rain is likely over the ext five days.

Tuesday high pressure builds in.  We could see some strong northerly winds behind the storm, moderating into the week.  High pressure looks like it will hold through at least the work week, and perhaps even lasting past Christmas.  Models are all over the place in the mid and long term, so we should consider the possibility of a wet Christmas (or white if you are high enough).  But forecasting that is still a ways out into the future.  For now, expect a chance of showers Friday, and a chance of light rain Monday.  Otherwise, fine winter like weather is on tap.
