Los Banos, California

... A pair of storms to affect the central California interior this
week...

A pair of Pacific storms will move through central California
interior this week... bringing cooler temperatures... breezy
conditions and a chance for rain and mountain snow.

The first storm is the weaker of the two... and will quickly move
through the region Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Very
little in the way of rain or mountain snow can be expected... but
it will bring cooler temperatures... with breezy to locally windy
conditions.

The second... and significantly stronger storm will reach the
central California interior Friday. This will be a colder
system... with snow levels from near 5000 feet around Yosemite
park... to around 6000 feet in the Tehachapi Mountains.

Rainfall amounts with this storm are highly uncertain at this
time. The valley floor could see as much as a quarter inch... with
between a half inch and one inch of rain over the southern Sierra
Nevada. Above 5000 to 6000 feet... snow totals for the southern
Sierra Nevada from 4 to 8 inches... with lesser amounts in highest
elevations of the tehachapis.

This storm also will bring gusty winds to the Sierra high country
and through and below the passes of the Kern County mountains
Friday and Friday night as the cold front moves through.

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite news source... for
