(FOX40.COM) — As Northern California braces for a trifecta of forecasted storms, the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab (CSSL) is looking forward to another several inches of snowfall.
On Wednesday morning, CSSL posted that in the last 24 hours they saw a little over an inch of snowfall but are expecting much more in the coming days.
As Wednesday morning light snow and rain showers give way, Thursday is looking like it will bring some significant snowfall to the Sierra.
Snowfall maps from the CSSL show that an estimated one to two feet of snow is expected to fall across much of the central Sierra over the next 36 hours.
Future cast radar from the National Weather Service indicates that by 4 p.m. on Wednesday a dense snow-dropping storm system will cover the central and northern Sierra.
This storm system will linger over the Lake Tahoe region throughout Wednesday evening until it begins to break up early on Thursday morning.
By Thursday afternoon, forecasts are showing the snow in the Sierra and rain in the valley will be mostly broken up and gone.
The CSSL did note that UC Berkeley’s IT team was working on restoring “campus systems” and that they would not be able to update snowfall totals.
