“Weak AR” for Central California
Over the next week, the vigorous storms that hit Northern California in the past few days will ebb .An impressive AR led to Tahoe getting a nice blanket of snow with Sierra Snow Lab reporting nearly 3 feet in the past 7 days.

But now the Southern Sierra should get its turn with a round of precipitation including rain and snow. That includes up to 7 inches in the Sequoia National Park area.

NWS LA says “the next rain event will take on the features of a weak atmospheric river, with zonal flow aloft allowing for a stream of moisture transport.”

NWS Hanford posts “A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the Sierra Nevada above 6,500 feet through 4 PM Tuesday. Accumulations of 10 to 24 inches are possible with up to 4 feet at the higher elevations. Wind gusts could reach up to 50 miles per hour. The probability of receiving 24 inches of snow by 10 PM Saturday is 55% for Tuolumne Meadows and 55% for Tioga Pass.”

On Saturday ski resort China Peak posted “As of 8:30 AM 4-6″ of wet snow. We’ll see the snow level move around for the next 48 hours, sometimes all snow, sometimes a combination of rain and snow, with the storm intensifying over the weekend, could be a fair amount of snow by the time we hit next week. We’ll update throughout the weekend with snowfall totals and look forward to opening on Friday, November 29.”
