VALLEY RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW WILL BECOME LIKELY OVER THE SIERRA TODAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN REMAIN OFF THE COAST THROUGH MONDAY WITH PERIODS OF RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW CONTINUING OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND DESERTS OF CALIFORNIA.

LOWER TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS WERE OBSERVED OVER BISHOP AND TONOPAH WHILE HIGHER CLOUDS COVERED THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. BASED ON SATELLITE TRENDS AND THE LATEST GUIDANCE...
