| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong low pressure trough approached the California coast during the night of December 9th-10th. High clouds ahead of the trough helped moderate overnight lows, preventing a third night of a widespread freeze. Then rain came to the San Joaquin Valley with snow in the mountains. The greatest snow accumulations were above the 7000 feet elevation on Dec 11th through the 13th, due to a series of low pressure systems associated with the general trough pattern. Snowfall amounts from the 12th through the morning of the 13th averaged around 3 feet above 7000 feet with locally higher amounts to nearly 5 feet. Temperatures warmed on the 11th as a subtropical feed that moved over the area, bringing plenty of moisture. The warm, moist airmass also triggered isolated thunderstorms over the central and southern San Joaquin Valley. There was heavy rain in the mountains up to around the 7000-foot elevation on the 11th and 12th, prior to changing to snow during the night of the 12th. The snow continued through the day on the 13th, with snow levels dropping to around 5000 feet as cooler air filtered into the region. |
