Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:32:13 GMT

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:32:13 GMT

(KRON) -- California is seeing a slow start for its critical mountain snowpacks. The state Department of Water Resources conducted its first snow survey of the season in the Sierra Nevada mountains on Tuesday. A manual survey conducted at Phillips Station in the Sierra recorded 7.5 inches of snow depth, and a snow water equivalent of 3 inches.

While state reservoirs are still above average for this time of year and strong El Niño conditions are present in the Pacific Ocean, the outlook for the rest of the winter remains highly uncertain."Sean de Guzman, Manager of the California Department of Water ...

The Chill is “on its way out”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:32:13 GMT

The solid stretch of cold weather that began last week is about to leave. The last of the widespread 50’s will come Wednesday morning as we still tap into a chilly flow from the north. As Wednesday continues, though, winds turn and we return to seasonable temperatures. Another weather change will soon involve a push of clouds. The cloud cover is forecast to thicken once the ocean flow begins. Despite having the clouds, rain isn’t expected on Wednesday. As we move into Thursday, however, a few “nuisance type” showers will be possible as a weather disturbance slides into Florida from the west. If you’re left out of the rain Thursday (and most places will) you’ll have another chance during the upcoming weekend. At that time, another system from the Gulf of Mexico will approach and should have more moisture to work with. By the way, it will also become more muggy (as well as being warmer) during the weekend time frame.
