Tahoe City Thanksgiving forecast high temperature: 59ºF.
If it verifies, would be Tahoe City's warmest Thanksgiving in three decades and the warmest day this late in the year since 2017 (60ºF, Dec. 30).

Places in red measured their lowest Nov. 24 snow depth on record. Some of the sites are low elevation and have many years of zero snow depth on this date, but there's a number of sites at higher elevation that should be covered in snow at this point.

Lee Canyon, an hour west of Las Vegas, has received more snow than California’s Donner Pass so far this season. Arizona Snowbowl in Flagstaff, Ariz., is having its snowiest November since 2004, with nearly five feet of powder.
Tahoe and Colorado are mostly dry. Here’s where you can still ski out West
While many Tahoe ski resorts delay opening day, a surprising corner of the West has experienced its snowiest start to the season in decades.

Weather pattern change to put CA in a precarious position post-Thanksgiving. Maps shows the "standard deviation" (spread) amongst weather models Dec. 1. There is more uncertainty about the atmospheric pattern over CA than anywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere! Could be cold/wet or less cold & dry

Impressive 24-hour precipitation totals in Southern California from the latest storm. Downtown Los Angeles (Dodger Stadium) picked up more than 2 inches of rain between 11 a.m. Thursday and 11 a.m. Friday.
L.A. has now received 5.52 inches of rain this month, the city's wettest November since 1967.

It's going to be prime #TuleFog season in #California next week. Soil moisture >90th percentile across much of CA thanks to recent rain. Light winds with high-pressure system overhead will make for ideal conditions for radiation fog. Plan ahead if traveling through the valley for Thanksgiving. #CAwx

Another rainmaker is coming to California. Here’s where it’ll be wettest
The last in a series of wet weather systems is headed to California. It’ll help boost rainfall totals that are already running well ahead of normal.

Kinda interesting to compare water year precipitation with snowpack at a continental scale. Most of the western US has been very wet since October 1, but there is almost no snowpack anywhere except at the very highest elevations because it has been so ridiculously warm. #hydrology #wx

A recent onslaught of storms pushed many of California’s creeks and streams to unusual territory and crushed rainfall records in other parts of the state.
The Merced River in Yosemite NP was flowing faster than any November in half of a century. Santa Barbara demolished a monthly rainfall record.

A major California city also just got more November rain than anytime in a century as California's water totals are off to a strong start following storms.
