An approaching upper level low will bring chances for light rain to region on Friday, being the first in a series of low pressure systems to impact the West Coast going into next week.

Rain chances begin Friday morning, with light amounts (between 0.1 and 0.2 inches) forecast across the inland valleys, and up to 0.3 inches closer to the coasts, where isolated thunderstorms will also be possible. Rain chances quickly return Friday evening into Saturday morning, with slightly greater precipitation amounts predicted as another upper low moving over Central California brings more widespread rain over the region. A third low pressure system will bring more unsettled weather to the region Monday and Tuesday, although the exact positioning of the low (and therefore probability and intensity of rainfall) are not yet certain. Snow levels are expected to remain fairly high throughout the next few days, generally above 8,000 feet. Moderate winds will also be present from Friday into early next week.
