OUR SOUTH. SO THIS IS A PRETTY POTENT SYSTEM COMING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. ENERGY FOR OUR NEXT STORM IN THE ROCKIES. IT CAME ON TO THE CALIFORNIA COAST YESTERDAY. AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY, TOMORROW, HEADING OUT TO SEA AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE WEEKEND FORECAST TODAY. THE RAIN STARTS TO WIND DOWN RIGHT DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER THE MORNING RUSH. LATER IN THE DAY WE COULD SEE SOME CLEARING, BUT I DON’T THINK IT HAPPENS UNTIL EVENING, SO DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH ON THAT ONE. IT WILL BE LATE IN THE DAY WHERE WE GET THAT CLEARING FOR TOMORROW. LOOK, WE CAN SEE SOME SUNSHINE. THAT WILL BE A NICE TREAT. SO A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN. WE WON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOG. AND WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT ANY AIR QUALITY ALERTS EITHER. AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY. FOR SUNDAY, THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE. AND THEN FOR US, WE START TO SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW DEVELOP SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SO WE’RE STILL WORKING ON THE TIMING HERE. I WOULD SAY LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHEN WE START TO SEE SOME SNOW DEVELOP. STILL NOT GOING TO RULE OUT SOME RAIN MIXING IN OR A LITTLE BIT OF SLEET AT TIMES. AND THEN THAT SNOW WILL CONTINUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. WRAPPING UP MONDAY MORNING. SO IT LOOKS LIKE A LOW IMPACT EVENT FOR US BECAUSE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY SHOULD BE ABOVE FREEZING. SO THAT LEADS TO WET OR SLUSHY ROADS DURING THE DAY AND THEN SLUSHY TO POSSIBLY SNOWY ROADS OVERNIGHT MONDAY SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY. SO THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING OUT FOR. POTENTIAL OUTCOMES HERE. WE’RE LOOKING AT A COATING TO TWO AS BEING VERY LIKELY 2 TO 4 IN THE POSSIBLE RANGE. AND THEN ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THAT HAS A MUCH LESS LIKELIHOOD. AND WE’LL HAVE A SNOW TOTAL MAP FOR YOU COMING UP. HERE’S MY TEN DAY. HERE IT IS. LOOK AT YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST. IT SAYS IT’S FRIDAY I DON’T WANT TO COME OUT HERE. WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND 36 ON SUNDAY 36 ON MONDAY. IT WILL BE BLUSTERY AND COLD. TUESDAY ALSO LOOKS QUITE WINDY
