This is not the main storm....The dry atmosphere is being replaced by very wet and cold moisture coming in from the north as predicted. Any cloud formation with enough moisture with it will drop Virgo and light showers, perhaps even some thunderstorms over the mountains.
This is just the beginning. Gary |

| I was referring to the dry air over the south land that is being replaced by moist onshore air. It is not quite saturated enough for all of the moisture that was in those clouds to produce even more than showers.
Showers that fall that do not reach the ground are called virga. Oh heck I misspelled it.  |

1 edit | I dont know of another word for it other than the moisture falling evaporates before it hits the ground. The process for this is called virga.
6:PM update;
It looks like a series of storms will be moving over the south Land over the next 5 to 7 days. If they move as they are currently moving we will have a few hours of rain and then a few hours of showers.
If the storms slow down then the rainfall will increase. Right now we are looking at 1 to 2 inches along the coast and LA Basin, 3 to 4 inches of rain against the up slope west facing foothills and MT's.
Sunday night snow level will start out at 7,000 feet lowering to 5,000 feet my Monday afternoon. By Tuesday Morning snow levels could be down to 3500 feet affecting all pass's.
Wednesday Morning could see snow levels dip even further as more cold air filters in from the north, perhaps as low as 2500 feet in the Antalope valley and Palmdale landcaster areas. During briedf periods of heavy rain in thunderstorms the snow levels could drop to valley floor levels or 1500 feet.
Again, this all depends on the speed and timing of the arrival of the storm impulses and the cold air. Daytime highs will average 25 degrees below normal all areas.
Snow amounts of 12 to 30 inches are possible at all resort levels with 6 inches possible at 3,000 feet. Mammoth could see as much 6 feet of new snow and the northern Sierras and the Cascades could see snow fall measured in feet. |
