A powerful Pacific storm will sweep into California today resulting in high winds, heavy rain and, in the mountains, significant snow. High wind warnings and watches already are posted for much of California and southern Oregon, and winter storm warnings are posted for the Northern California Mountains and Sierras. Snow levels will be rising during the day, however, probably ending up around 4500 feet in Northern California and near 7000 feet in the southern Sierras. Showers, mountain snows and strong winds will extend northward into the Pacific Northwest and, by late in the day, eastward into Nevada and Idaho. Rain will reach the Los Angeles basin later in the day and some significant rainfall totals are expected in that region, especially in the surrounding mountains. The Southwest will remain warm and sunny, at least for one more day.

Thanks for the weather report JP - will batten down the hatches (and my bird feeders and trash can). High wind warnings during terror threat time is not good news, however.
