Dry Pattern for CA Into December

The Weekend:

Friday through the weekend high pressure builds back in with mostly sunny skies and lighter winds expected. Highs in the 30s on the mountain Friday to near 40 degrees at the base. Highs in the 40s Sat-Sun. Overnight lows in the teens and 20s for continued snowmaking.

The 1st Week of December:

The latest forecast model runs continue to show a drier pattern setting up for CA through the 1st week of December as high pressure builds in over the Western U.S. Mostly sunny skies should continue. Highs in the 40s on the mountain with overnight lows below freezing.

Long-Range:

The pattern may not flip back into an active pattern until at least the 11th of December, with a better chance around mid-December into the 3rd week of December. That doesn’t mean we won’t see any storms until then, just that the pattern is not looking favorable for an active storm track or any big storms.

We will continue to watch the long-range for the first sign of storms returning.
