You can see the future rains showing up strongest for Saturday. We are looking for some rain to move in as we head toward Wednesday to Thursday. The big question is related to the amount of snowfall in the West.
Already there is a winter storm watch issued for mainly Thursday out to the far western counties of our viewing area. We could see some decent accumulations out there. Toward the East we are generally looking for rain.
The big reason for all of this cold air is a dip in the jetstream, the upper level "river" of air, toward the South. We call this process "digging" where the jetstream dips to the South. This system digs pretty far South, as you can see:
We'll watch as that system digs its way out of here - but in between now and then we've got some rain out there for us!
Have a good night!
