A High Transportation Risk for Monday morning. Confidence will be moderate for that time period and lowers into Tuesday morning. While we're not expecting dense fog as widespread tonight as during recent days, motorists should continue to take caution, if encountering areas with poor visibility.
The upcoming system is expected to bring stronger wind gusts to portions of Kern County, along with the crests of the Sierra Nevada and Coastal Range. This image shows the probabilities for daily wind gusts to exceed 45 mph for select locations of Kern County through the next week.
A system will pass through central California early this coming week, with high confidence for impactful snow in the high Sierra as a result. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the mountain areas above 6000 feet in effect from 10 PM Monday through 4 PM Wednesday. Snow accumulations 4 to 10 inches above 6000 feet and 12 to 18 inches above 7000 feet are expected.
While next week's precipitation will largely be focused on the Sierra Nevada, there is low to medium confidence (20 to 30 percent) for moderate rainfall greater than one quarter inch across the San Joaquin Valley ending Wednesday afternoon.
