Tonights forecast: Weatherunderground- Turlock
As for the rumors of SNOW here is the scientific forecast discussion:
Given cold atmosphere already in place and cold origin of the system there will be very low snow levels...possibly down to the valley floor at times and snow ratios will be 25 to 1 over the higher elevations. Have raised precip/snow amounts over the mountains and expect total snowfall 12 to 24 inches at pass level with snow rates over an inch an hour likely. These amounts are supported by the sref plume ensembles. Best timing for the heaviest snow will be between 11pm and 6am tonight over the Sierra including I 80 and Highway 50. Have added rain/snow mix for much of the valley floor after midnight due to likely evaporative and dynamic cooling processes...but surface temps will remain in the mid 30's and any accumulations will be light and confined to grassy surfaces. Will continue all winter storm warnings.
