California’s earliest snow advisory in nearly 20 years could also bring month’s worth of rain
A low pressure system moving into the West Coast today will bring rare early-season snow and rain to California through Monday. “A winter weather advisory is in effect for portions of the Sierra Nevada above 8,000 feet where up to 4 inches of snow could fall tonight and Monday,” the National Weather Service office in Hanford said. Visitors to Yosemite National Park may encounter snow as they drive through the park. Up to 2 inches of snow is possible from Tuolumne Meadows and Tioga Pass, one of the main thoroughfares in the park.
