After a long break…an active weather pattern will return to the Eastern Sierra Sunday and continue on and off next week. The biggest system by far is expected between Tuesday and Wednesday night. That could dump 12 to 18 inches up on Mammoth Mtn with up to a foot in town…..
Updating…..
Current upper ridge over Ca will begin weakening today…but not before bringing another few degrees of warming. Highs in Mammoth well into the 50s are expected.
Over the pacific its a progressive pattern in the westerlies. The current trof that is approaching California is weakening as it encounters the west coast ridge. It is resulting in a much weaker system that will produce at most an inch or two of snowfall between tonight and Sunday. Following a break on Monday….the next upstream system is looking much wetter, deeper and colder. An upper high over AK is aiding the system in its more mid latitude storm track. This is the storm we have been waiting for to really freshen up the snow pack! It will have a period of strong orographics and so current snowfall estimates may even be underestimated! The storm will be followed by unsettled weather pattern for another day or two with another impulse following between Thursday into Friday (maybe some more snow). Then a weekend that is promising to be pretty nice!
