West Coast Outdoor Weather 11-19-2015

West Coast Outdoor Weather 11-19-2015  A ridge of high pressure will be in place over the West Coast for this coming weekend so the West Cascades of Washington and the Sierra in Northern California can expect dry conditions.

How about this coming week starting 11-23-2015?   A weak weather system will bring some light snow showers at 2000 feet for the Washington Cascades early in the week.  Then for the Northern Sierra a trough of low pressure (see map below) will be over the region on Tuesday and Wednesday for some snow at 4000 to 5000 feet. Totals (cumulative) for Tuesday and Wednesday in the 8 to 10 inch range but lower confidence in totals given the extended nature of the forecast.
