00:00And then there is the next storm.
00:01Really a stormy pattern that's going
00:03to continue through Tuesday.
00:04We have rounds of rain and of course some snow.
00:07But here's the thing about the snow.
00:09It's really going to be isolated
00:10to the highest elevation,
00:11so mostly above past level.
00:13That means we'll be getting rain at
00:15past level rather than the snow,
00:16and that means with this storm,
00:18especially Saturday into Sunday,
00:19the strongest storm of the bunch.
00:21We have avalanche risks into the
00:23mountain areas with the snow and
00:24then the rain on top of that.
00:26That is kind of the perfect
00:28conditions for avalanche risk.
00:29Something to keep in mind if that's
00:31where you're going to be this weekend.
00:33Others low lying areas.
00:34That's where we're looking at a
00:36flooding risk with this next storm,
00:37so different risks all possible
00:38to cause travel disruptions.
00:40But let's take a look at it on future
00:42radar kind of this parade of storms
00:44and how this plays out.
00:45We're stopping at Friday 10 AM 1st,
00:47and that's when the first storm
00:49or really the next storm.
00:50You've already started the pattern, right?
00:52Starts to move into the Pacific Northwest.
00:54We continue as it moves its way inland.
00:56Some more snow mixing in,
00:57but still a lot of rain.
00:59Next storm right behind it Saturday afternoon.
01:00We have some pockets of some heavier
01:02rainfall that will move in with this,
01:04and you can see much more moisture
01:06associated with this storm.
01:07A lot more rainfall and some snow as well.
01:10This is Sunday overnight and then
01:11that will continue to move inland.
01:13As we look further to the South,
01:15this stormy pattern is bringing
01:17another round of Santa Ana winds.
01:18It's going to last through tomorrow.
01:20The good news with this because
01:22of the recent rainfall,
01:23we're not looking at a very elevated fire risk,
01:25but still 30 to 50% chance of
01:27fire risk, but still 30 to 50 mph.
01:29Wind gusts possible here.
01:30Something to keep in mind.
01:32Temperature wise,
01:32we're in the 40s and 50s,
01:34depending on where you are right
01:35in the ballpark of where we should
01:37be this time of year when we talk
01:39about historical averages.
