The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an usual warning for Californians in late-August... snow is in the forecast! An unseasonable cold front is expected to move through the Sierra on Friday, August 23rd, 2024. According to records, it's the first time snow has been forecasted in California in August in over 20 years.
The NWS office in Sacramento, California is predicting an "uncommon" storm track for this time of year that is expected to bring widespread rain, hail, and gusty winds for all elevations below the snow line.
Snow is expected to fall between 7,500 feet and 9,000 feet of elevation from Thursday night through Friday night with an emphasis on peaks north of I-80, but accumulations will occur further south. The NWS office in Hanford, California published the map below to show the probability of snow accumulation greater than .1 inches in the Eastern Sierra region. Looks like Mammoth Mountain might pick up a dusting!

On this day in 1958 it snowed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I remember sledding on this date.
It’s going to get cold here on Friday too. Low 40’s.
I’m in Iowa and it’s been a very cool August. Even the trees are turning already. I think we are in for an early winter. In the mean time, the evenings have been very cool. Wonderful sleeping weather!!
We had one long stretch of 17 straight days of 80 degrees or higher in late July and early August.
Today and yesterday, highs were 69 F and 68 F, which are 8 and 9 degrees below average.
Since our official temperature is taken 100 feet away from a Sea-Tac airport runway, those are downright incredible high temps in August.
Hey, those clear hot days in July, and the cool cloudy days in August just proves how terrible climate change is! I had to put on a sweatshirt for the dog walk a few nights ago!!
And remember back in May(?) when the news was all about how terrible the fire season would be this year? And the smoke? (Heck - I bet there was even an article titled “Climate Change - Summer Smoke will Make Covid Worse”)
I hope I didn’t jinx the clean air we’ve had this year!
Dang that GoreBull warming to heck!
