California is expected to return to a wet weather pattern with snowfall down to unusually low elevations next week after a largely dry February, forecasters said Friday.
But he cautioned against taking literally weather model maps showing significant sea level snow in Northern California. Rather, he said, locations between 1,000 and 1,500 feet could see accumulating snow.
The expected precipitation is more good news for the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which supplies about a third of California's water. The snowpack is above average due to early winter atmospheric rivers that hit the state but water officials have worried that the gains could be eroded if the rest of winter returned to the dry conditions that fueled years of drought.
San Francisco's rainfall total, for example, is well above average for the season to date because of the early storms but it is almost an inch below normal for this month. Forecasters noted that the coming storm is not an atmospheric river and without a deep tropical plume of moisture the precipitation totals will likely only add up due to long duration, which can happen when systems stall.© 2023 The Associated Press.
