When Will it Snow Again?

As La Nina continues to deepen, so does our dry weather. Generally, we only write columns to talk about future weather pattern changes. However, I noticed a number of forecasters were predicting a return to winter weather next weekend. We are not seeing that. In fact as the Polar Vortex digs deep into the central part of the country, our weather will be above seasonal averages for the most part with high pressure sitting off the coast and blocking everything.

Lake Tahoe is west of Los Angeles. That helps a lot when these deep high pressure systems dominate the country, we are outside their influence of bitter cold air.

However, we are seeing what should amount to a pattern change. That is the good news. The bad news is that this pattern change is still a few weeks out.

As our persistent ridge of high pressure begins to break down, expect things to change. That appears to be occurring around the 30th of January.

Of course, predicting weather 2 weeks out comes with risk. We will keep an eye on this possible change. Our two most reliable models are seeing this change which usually bodes well.

I wish I had more for you, but for now, enjoy the beautiful weather ... it will change.
