"WeatherLight to moderate early season snow returns to the Sierra and Southern California mountains from Wednesday night through Saturday, with a modest refresh in the Tahoe and Eastern Sierra region and a more substantial hit for the higher peaks near Mount Baldy. Most high elevation terrain will see a few fresh inches with this midweek system, focused from late tonight through Friday morning in the Sierra and from Thursday into Saturday in Southern California."
"Snow levels generally hover around 5,500 to 6,500 feet, keeping precipitation all snow for the resorts, although the lowest base areas may flirt with a rain or mix at times in Southern California. Snow quality looks generally decent for building early season coverage in the Sierra thanks to snow to liquid ratios running in the low to mid teens, while Southern California leans toward denser, wetter snow as the storm winds down."
Light to moderate snow will affect the Sierra and Southern California mountains from Wednesday night through Saturday, providing a modest refresh in Tahoe and Eastern Sierra and heavier totals near Mount Baldy. The main Sierra system is compact from Wednesday night through Friday morning, arriving in northeastern California late tonight and reaching Tahoe and central Sierra by Thursday morning. Snow levels generally sit between 5,500 and 6,500 feet, keeping most resort precipitation as snow while lowest Southern California bases may see a rain or mix. Sierra snow-to-liquid ratios favor lighter, drier snow for building coverage; Southern California favors denser, wetter accumulations. A drier, somewhat milder pattern is expected into Thanksgiving week, with only low-confidence signs of another system late in the extended period.
