  .DISCUSSION... 
  An area of low pressure aloft over Central California this morning  
  will move southward into Southern California this afternoon.  
  Precipitation in the San Joaquin Valley will come to an end this  
  morning. Be that as it may, there still could be a few afternoon  
  showers. In the Sierra Nevada, Kern County mountains, and Sierra  
  Nevada foothills, scattered showers are expected much of the day  
  today. An inch or less of snow is likely above 3,500 feet over Kern  
  County mountain passes today. Travel delays are possible.  
   
  The next storm system will impact Central California Sunday night  
  and Monday. The majority of precipitation associated with this storm  
  system will fall late Sunday night and Monday morning. Rain amounts  
  of one tenth of an inch to one quarter of an inch are expected in  
  the West Side Hills Sunday night and Monday. Rain amounts of one  
  quarter of an inch to one half of an inch are anticipated in the San  
  Joaquin Valley. The snow level could fall as low as 1,500 feet by  
  Monday. Accumulating snowfall over Kern County mountain passes  
  Sunday night and Monday may cause travel delays and road closures.  
  At this time, we expect about two to four inches of snow to  
  accumulate along Tejon Pass and four to six inches of snow to  
  accumulate along Tehachapi Pass.  
   
  A major storm system could impact Central California Tuesday night  
  through Thursday night. Several feet of snow is possible in the  
  Sierra Nevada. Rain amounts of one to two inches in the San Joaquin  
  Valley and two to four inches in the Sierra Nevada foothills may  
  lead to flooding. The snow level should start at around 2,000 feet  
  Tuesday night, before rising to about 4,000 feet by Wednesday  
  afternoon.
