…Unsettled weather pattern for new years eve and the weekend… A storm system will move to between 750 and 850 miles northwest of Sacramento this evening to about 500 miles west of Sacramento by Saturday morning. Current indications are for a chance of rain or snow to develop west of Sacramento during the evening…With rain and snow likely for the entire Interior on the morning of the new year. For the new year celebrations at midnight there is a chance the rain could still hold off for the eastern areas of the central Valley…While places like Chester and Blue Canyon are likely to remain dry. While not a lot of rain and snow is forecast with this system through Saturday afternoon it may bring Snow to very low levels due to the current cold air mass in place. A couple of inches of snowfall could fall near Lake level over southern Lake County with a dusting of snow over parts of the central Valley…Mainly for the far western portions of the southern Sacramento Valley and over the far northern portions of the valley. If traveling during the late night hours tonight and on Saturday morning…Be prepared to encounter possible slippery road conditions. Beyond this time-frame there is still a lot of uncertainty with the movement and timing of this system. This will also impact how much precipitation the interior gets and whether parts of the interior stay dry or wet through the weekend and into the first part of next week. Another low will develop to the northwest of this one and the two will interact with one another to complicate the movement of this system. If traveling this weekend or if you have outdoor activities planned…
