I mean basically NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:01.532 --> 00:00:03.447 everywhere and places that aren't NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:03.447 --> 00:00:05.260 getting heavy rain at the moment. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:06.980 You will very very soon, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:08.440 so that's the story today. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:09.495 Clearly when you look at NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:09.495 --> 00:00:10.339 the satellite and radar, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:12.060 we are wound up and ready to go. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:12.942 A couple things. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:12.942 --> 00:00:14.118 This is affecting basically NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:14.118 --> 00:00:15.850 everybody at the same time we've NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:17.175 got heavy rain in Roseville, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:18.820 Loomis, Auburn, Folsom, El Dorado, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:20.605 Hills and some really heavy bands that NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:20.605 --> 00:00:22.140 just moved through Shingle Springs, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:24.499 Cameron Park and about to hit Placerville. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:26.348 So this is something that's been NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:26.348 --> 00:00:27.580 unfolding through the morning. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:27.580 --> 00:00:29.197 One extra thing that's a little bit NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:29.197 --> 00:00:30.562 different about this storm is that NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:30.562 --> 00:00:31.822 the snow levels are really high. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:33.726 This is right around 7000 feet. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:33.730 --> 00:00:35.212 For some of these passes like NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:35.212 --> 00:00:36.510 Donner and also for ECHO, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:36.510 --> 00:00:38.174 you get to Blue Canyon which is 5000 NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:38.174 --> 00:00:40.027 feet and it's heavy rain at the moment. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:41.406 So one of the reasons why it's raining NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:41.406 --> 00:00:42.728 so hard is that it's just warmer. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:44.488 Warmer air can hold more moisture, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:46.030 so that's why we're getting heavy rain. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:47.428 If you are waiting for snow, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:48.708 you're a snow lover and you NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:48.708 --> 00:00:49.560 really that's your thing. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:49.918 Just wait, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:49.918 --> 00:00:51.350 the cold air is coming in later today NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:51.393 --> 00:00:52.889 and those snow levels are going to tank. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:53.808 We're still going to end up NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:53.808 --> 00:00:54.650 with a lot of snow, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:54.650 --> 00:00:56.626 but it's mostly just rain at the moment. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:56.630 --> 00:00:57.930 It's a major traffic issue. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:57.930 --> 00:00:59.346 Stockton is getting nailed right now. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:00.062 Tracy Modesto. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:00.062 --> 00:01:01.486 You've had your moments. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:02.690 It's a little slow right now, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:03.560 but it's going to pick up. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.290 Again later on this morning NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:07.020 and as well as tirlok. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:08.280 So we are right in the heart of it. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:08.960 I mean, this is it. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:11.176 This is our moment folks with heavy rain. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:12.188 And like I mentioned, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:12.188 --> 00:01:13.700 higher snow levels because of those NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:13.751 --> 00:01:15.185 South winds that have kicked in NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:15.185 --> 00:01:16.670 really strong winds at the higher NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:18.357 elevations coming in out of the South. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:20.215 So we'll focus on the timing here. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.578 What we have is the rest of this morning. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:22.580 --> 00:01:24.141 It's going to be heavy rain down NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:24.141 --> 00:01:26.000 low and snow at the mountain passes. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.832 We Fast forward to later on today and NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:27.832 --> 00:01:29.620 we should see some partial clearing. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:30.999 So you may think that it's done, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.090 but that creates the opportunity NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:33.926 for instability. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:35.925 And then some thunderstorms with some hail. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:35.930 --> 00:01:37.414 So we're still not quite done until NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:37.414 --> 00:01:38.952 we get to sunset then overnight NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:38.952 --> 00:01:40.367 tonight and early tomorrow we NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:40.367 --> 00:01:42.069 will get a little bit more rain. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:43.200 But if you're looking for NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.104 a better travel day, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:45.500 I would focus on tomorrow NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:46.890 morning for the valley spots. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:47.589 It slows down. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:47.589 --> 00:01:48.987 We should even see some drier NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:48.987 --> 00:01:50.390 weather move in for a little bit, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:52.010 but by Christmas Eve evening. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:53.270 So this is the 24th, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:53.270 --> 00:01:55.846 obviously to the 25th we get another round NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:55.846 --> 00:01:58.167 of valley rain and more Sierra Snow. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:00.378 This is going to be with us for NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:00.378 --> 00:02:02.309 several more days and the snow NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:02.309 --> 00:02:03.949 level stay low after tonight. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:06.272 Stay low and get lower going into next week. NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:06.860 In fact, NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:08.310 they could get extremely low NOTE Confidence: 0.916171517333333 00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:09.180 below 1000 feet NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:09.242 --> 00:02:11.041 the rest of today looks like this NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:11.041 --> 00:02:12.688 hour by hour. We're in the 50s. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:12.688 --> 00:02:14.260 It's pretty much raining all day long. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:14.260 --> 00:02:15.975 Then we get to where it's breaking NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:15.975 --> 00:02:17.777 up and stopping and we get the NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:17.777 --> 00:02:18.539 potential for thunderstorms NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:18.539 --> 00:02:20.340 for a few hours before sunset. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:21.330 Then we're going to have some NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:22.360 light rain moving in overnight, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.865 but like I mentioned tomorrow NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:23.865 --> 00:02:25.640 morning is a better travel day. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:27.040 One of those windows you want to hit. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:28.108 If you've got somewhere to go NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:28.108 --> 00:02:29.410 but watch out in the mountains, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:29.410 --> 00:02:31.195 it will still continue to snow tonight NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:31.195 --> 00:02:32.954 and through the day tomorrow we do NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:32.954 --> 00:02:34.610 see temperatures in the 40s and 50s, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:34.610 --> 00:02:35.642 fifty one for Placerville. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:35.642 --> 00:02:37.785 Snow is going to be a rain snow NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:37.785 --> 00:02:39.399 mix for the Tahoe Basin today, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.312 but by tonight it switches over to all NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:41.312 --> 00:02:42.997 snow through Christmas and well beyond NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:42.997 --> 00:02:44.737 a look at those temperatures getting NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:44.790 --> 00:02:46.463 into the 20s for highs and single NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:46.463 --> 00:02:48.036 digits for Lowe's in the Tahoe Basin. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:48.036 --> 00:02:49.785 Very, very cold if that's your NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:49.785 --> 00:02:51.680 destination 50s for the Bay Area. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.330 58 for mantika and about NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:53.330 --> 00:02:54.980 54 or so for Lincoln. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:54.980 --> 00:02:56.660 So what lies ahead? NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:02:56.660 --> 00:03:00.050 First of all, a point of positive news. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:02.554 We are way over halfway there for a NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:02.554 --> 00:03:04.937 season total in places like Sacramento. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:04.940 --> 00:03:06.669 You get about 18 to 19 inches. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:06.670 --> 00:03:07.606 For the entire season, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:07.606 --> 00:03:09.581 going all the way till September and we're NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:09.581 --> 00:03:11.147 already crossing over almost 12 inches. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:12.470 So it's been good for us. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:12.470 --> 00:03:14.102 But major impacts like the roads NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:14.102 --> 00:03:15.950 this morning and then future travel. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:15.950 --> 00:03:17.690 There's your window right there NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:17.690 --> 00:03:19.430 for early on Christmas Eve, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:19.430 --> 00:03:19.982 which is tomorrow.

NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:34.710 --> 00:03:36.168 We won't look exactly like that, NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:36.170 --> 00:03:37.166 but we could be looking at. NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:37.170 --> 00:03:39.120 Below 1000 feet for snow sometime NOTE Confidence: 0.929881303 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.000 in the middle to the end.
