TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST

Sunday, 04-12-2026
..Good Morning.
..The rain has finally arrived. As of 7am this morning showers arrived to the area along with gusty winds and Fog.
..Rain showers will continue through this morning, then taper off by late this afternoon. The Parent Low is still stationary over NOR-CAL this morning.
..As the Low moves Inland to our North into the Great Basin, a lobe will split off of the Low, and track South towards SoCal. This may bring a few scattered showers and or snow showers across parts of SoCal early tomorrow morning.
..The freezing levels will be much lower tomorrow morning so we could see scattered snow showers as low as the 4500′ level. However due to the lack of moisture, any accumulations will be from a dusting to around an inch between 4500-6000′. Above the 6000′ level if all goes right we could see from 1-4″ of snow with the greatest amounts above 6800′.
..Liquid precipitation amounts are trending towards .25″-.50″, to ~0.75-1.00″ in the Orographically enhanced areas. Thunderstorms will be possible in the local mountains today but the chances are less than 30%.
..I’m thinking tomorrow morning may be the highest chances to see any Thunderstorms locally, as the Vort Max passes through our area, 30-50% chance then.
..LOOKING AHEAD:
..For Tuesday, and Wednesday, a transitory area of High pressure will build and pass over SoCal bringing warmer weather and clear skies.
..Then on Thursday, another area of Low pressure will drop out of the PAC-NW. This low may pass through to our East as an Inside slider, or bring another round of scattered showers late on Thursday and Friday morning if it does drop further South. So this will be something to watch for. RC*
*My weather outlooks are derived from what I think will be the most likely outcome based on the most current information available.
