SnowBrains Forecast: Rare Summer Storm Will Bring 8 Inches to New Zealand This Week - SnowBrains

WeatherNew Zealand's Southern Alps see a small, wet early-week storm that peaks on Tuesday, with Mt Hutt and Mount Dobson leading totals. Snow levels start high Monday night near 6,200-6,600 feet, then drop into the 4,700-5,000 feet range on Tuesday as temperatures settle near freezing, improving the odds of snow reaching lower mountain elevations. Snow quality stays on the heavy side with SLRs mostly around 6-7:1, so expect dense, moisture-rich snow rather than light powder, and moderate southeast winds add some exposed-ridge bite.

Anticipated rain will bring end to Bay Area's dry pattern

The pattern change began Monday when the barometric pressure surrounding the region started to fall gradually. That increase in low pressure is coming from the southwest and the air is flowing north, opposite of many winter low-pressure systems that dip in from the Pacific Northwest. As a result, light but steady rain is expected to start in Monterey County and the Central Coast late Tuesday morning. The rain is expected to reach the region closer to San Francisco sometime Tuesday night, Murdock said.
