Bear Valley, CA…Hey Good People! Powder to the People! Mattly’s weather forecast for Sunday. A beautiful sunny day is ahead after some new snowfall. A crisp cold morning is on tap as 24F is registering on the temp gauge and another 3″ of new snow fell overnight bringing the storm total to 6″. Winds today will be in the mid teens with gusting reaching up into the low 30’s as surface gradients remain tight forcing venturi type winds in canyons, prone gaps and ridgetops. As the upper level trough digs Southeast temps look to rise into the 50’s this week as the high pressure ridging returns. The Central Valley areas around Colusa could crest 90F by Wednesday breaking their record for this time of year. Warming temps will be felt in the foothills and Mountains this week as the first day of Spring has arrived. This mornings model runs show a few weak short waves passing through so clouds and possible unsettled weather may show face by the end of next weekend with a favorable transition into a more active spring snowfall period.

Every little bit counts to bring us closer to the season projection I made so fingers crossed for a continued active pattern as we transition into the end of our Winter cycle and cross into Spring. We are about Pure Mountain Fun so come on up and enjoy some PMF!

We continue the hopeful path to the 400″ season I keep suggesting. I’m still sticking with it…..let’s hope it still rings true for the season!
Cheers,
Mattly
