This from this afternoon’s NOAA forecast discussion:

MODELS ARE STILL
 FORECASTING THIS TO PASS THROUGH THE NORTH BAY AROUND MIDNIGHT AND
 MOVE BRISKLY DOWN THE COAST AND BE SOUTH OF MONTEREY BY DAYBREAK.
 SNOW LEVELS WILL BE BETWEEN 3000 AND 2500 FT AFTER THE FRONT PASSES
 SO COULD SEE A DUSTING TO 1 OR 2 IN ABOVE THESE ALTITUDES BRIEFLY
 TOMORROW MORNING.  ALSO HAVE NOT RULED OUT THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE
 FRONT AS INSTABILITY WILL BE MODERATE AND AGAIN LOTS OF CONVECTION
 ALREADY SEEN WITH THE FRONT OFFSHORE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS
 SYSTEM SHOULD AVERAGE A QUARTER TO HALF INCH IN THE LOW LEVELS WITH
 UP TO 1 TO 2 IN IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ESPECIALLY SANTA CRUZ AND
 SANTA LUCIA MTNS.

  • We got almost 1/2 inch in Carmel Valley, with some ice pellets that came down this morning. Some big gusts of wind as well. The satellite photos show a classic sequence of cyclone development. If you want, I'll send you my latest "Cyclone Parade".
