Clear skies will prevail over the deserts today, while lower clouds slowly break west of the mountains. A cooling trend is underway as the marine layer deepens and a storm system approaches from the northwest. Some light rain showers could break out later tonight into Sunday morning, but the best chance for widespread rain and mountain snow will come on Monday and Tuesday. Heavy snow will fall over the mountains. Periods of rain and snow showers will continue through midweek before this slow-moving storm exits the region. Temperatures will be well below average until next weekend, when high pressure builds from the west.
