| -- This from the Sacramento Office forecast's discussion pm 6 March. January and much of February were pretty dry so flooding probably won't be too bad. However, the amount of snow predicted would likely close the Sierra passes, e.g. Donner, Echo at least periodically during the week. --------------- [NationalWeatherService] Ensemble guidance and cluster analysis continue to exhibit high confidence in an active weather pattern returning to the forecast over the extended forecast period with multiple weather systems moving through Monday [10 March] and again Tuesday through Thursday [13 March] bringing along rain, wind and mountain snow impacts to interior northern California. Here is a look at some 72 hour probabilities from the National Blend of Models (NBM) ending 5 AM Thursday: Probability of Rain > 1 inch: 55-95% Probability of Rain > 2 inches: 15-30% (Valley), 45-80% (foothills) Probability of Mountain Snow > 48 inches: 40-85% Probability of Mountain Snow > 60 inches (N of I-80): 40-70% Probability of Mountain Snow > 60 inches (S of I-80): 15-45% Probability of Wind Gusts > 40 mph: 50-85% (Valley/Foothills) Probability of Wind Gusts > 55 mph: 45-75% (Foothills/Mountains) |

| #1 We'll be drinking all that wet stuff pn the Nevada side this summer, so bring it. SnowPack in the Norther Sierras has been lighter than normal so far: Wiki AI Cite-"As of March 2025, California's Sierra snowpack was 85% of average, with the northern Sierra having the most snow. The snowpack was below average in the central and southern Sierra. " |
