Potential Significant Winter Storm

A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect for Tuesday evening until Thursday evening for the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite NP to northern Kern County. Snow levels will be around 5,000 feet Tuesday night, then lower to 3,000 feet Wednesday night into Thursday.

A storm system Wednesday through Friday is favorable to bring moderate to heavy snowfall to the Sierra Nevada. There is a relatively strong signal for greater than two feet of accumulated snowfall over a three day period ending 5 AM Friday, March 14th.

The midweek storm system has a moderate to high probability (50 to 95 percent) to result in strong wind gusts greater then 40 miles per hour across much of the elevated terrain in central California. Some of these stronger winds have the potential to extend into the western and northern San Joaquin Valley as well.

With the expected arrival of moisture from an atmospheric river early on Wednesday, heavy precipitation will be observed across the Central California Interior. This heavy precipitation allowed for the issuance of Excessive Rainfall and Probabilistic Potential Outlooks for Marginal to Moderate impacts, respectively, across the higher terrain of the Sierra Nevada.

An Atmospheric River Event is possible for Wednesday and Thursday for Interior Central California. This system has a high probability of strong winds to the deserts and moderate wind to the San Joaquin Valley. The Sierra Nevada has a probability of significant snowfall. I-5 and Highway 58 passes have a chance for accumulating snowfall.
