THU MAR 09 2023

Oh boy here we go again, Deja Vu from last January. Moisture from an AR storm that hit the West Coast yesterday, will bring our ridgetop winds to 130 mph by Friday, with copious moisture into our forecast area thru Sunday. Mammoth Mountain and Tahoe are going to get slammed. Remember these are going to be warm storms, with snow at the Main Lodge and rain or snow below. Snow levels and amounts tricky (estimates) today thru Sunday, Main Lodge 3+ feet and the Summit 5+ feet. This warm and moist storm will likely drop rain on areas from 2K – 8K feet, causing potential flooding issues. More Friday…DMATT
