California's mountain snowpack, crucial for supplying about 30% of the state's water, is currently reported to be at 50% of the normal average, marking a modest increase from January 1st but still significantly below expected levels. The snowpack stands at 52% of average, a stark contrast to last year's 214% at the same time. Upcoming storms are expected to bring rain and snow after the morning commute, with heavy snow forecasted for the local mountains and a winter storm warning in effect for the Sierra, Spring Mountains, and Sheep Range through Friday. Southern Nevada will also see a drop in temperature with wind chills falling into the upper 40s, alongside the anticipated rain and snow, which is welcomed during the ongoing drought conditions.
California state snowpack is only at 50% of normal… so these storms (especially late weekend storm) will help bring that up a bit. The coastal rain is bringing the flood & landslide threats. @Wx_Max @SamWnek https://t.co/ewrwAAKAcd
