'04 o'clock in the afternoon on wednesday expecting a couple maybe 4 feet of snow 2000, 7,000 feet or so. but a lot more. maybe as much as 4 to 8 feet of snow across the higher peaks. not only there. we're going to see a whole lot of snow up to the shasta areas. well, if you're traveling up by 5 and headed in that direction, maybe up organize so be very, very careful that snow going to be dropping down all the way in the clear lake there. so you see the snow levels dropping off. we've got much colder systems on the way. a check of our snow pack right now really

just slightly below the average right now. 9, 9%, of normal in southern the sierra nevada. it's a 93 percent in the central sierra nevada and 84% in the northern sierra. but i think in these next 1015, days or so. we'll see these numbers well above the average here's the forecast model for some of the snow forecast. you watch as we head through the next couple of days, you start to see the bull's eye here right near the tahoe area. a lot of snow piling up across some of the higher peaks. but we put that into motion. take you all the way until the following week and you can see that really begins to widen out as we're going to see as much as 1414 to have to be the snow. according summer models up across the higher peaks that is some great for our water resources as we get toward the dry summer months. so forecast we're going to be chilly. of course you see snow all the way down the lake level temperatures running in the 30's and that snow wednesday, thursday and friday. there you go. a lot of snow on the way. they're start to pick some of that up right now. but it's mainly patchy right now. but it is going to pick up throughout the night tonight as that cold front begins to

move in. so there's more that on the way you see that storm system off the coastline. that is all part of the same system impact in the bay area, bringing some rain here. you see the showers out there right now. kind of waves say you get these moderate amounts of a rain coming through and then you see some a lighter amounts move on by. but more on the way and you can see some of those bands moving in all around the bay area right now. scattered showers continuing. that's the way it's going to be tonight. more widely scattered, i think to the day tomorrow as far as rainfall totals. look at that. we've got tremendous colors between now and next week. but the good news is kind of space in and out a little bit. so really have to worry about significant flooding. looks like this is going to be a very healthy series of storms rolling into the giving the water chance to seep into the gyound, not runoff. yeah, these are these are these are the little bit colder storm system. so they generally hold a little less water contents. so their space now just enough to allow to soak in. so, hey, this is good news for everybody great news for the sierra. that's amazing. no kid. 14 feet summer all right.
