“On the Southwest futurecast, anticipate a clear and sunny period for the desert regions, bringing warm and dry conditions. However, coastal areas of Northern California should prepare for multiple rounds of valley rain into Saturday. In the higher elevations, snow is likely to impact areas from the Sierra Nevada to far Northern California, potentially causing hazardous travel over mountain passes. Southern California will largely remain dry, with more mild conditions prevailing throughout. Keep an eye for slick roads due to rain, especially near the San Francisco Bay Area.”
