Golden Bear Cottages AAA approved resort cabins news and travel

SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK -//> UPDATED AT 8:45AM PST TUESDAY...Today we see more sun (some thin high clouds) and mild temperatures as a ridge of high pressure continues overhead. On Wednesday and Thursday we see a weak weather disturbance pass through (mainly Wednesday), with not much affect on the area except some breeziness. Sunny on Thursday under a ridge of high pressure. Wind increases on Friday as a storm system moves in up north, carving south across California late. The low pressure system moves in late Saturday through Sunday, with colder temperatures and some light snow. We will have to watch this one close, as a small change in the path of this storm could mean much better snowfall. For now, mostly over land movement is projected, meaning limited moisture within the system. Monday and Tuesday high pressure builds in with mostly sunny skies and milder temperatures. CM
