Winter weather through Wednesday. Snow levels will generally hover between 1000 and 2000 feet. The heaviest snow will occur over the coastal range and the Siskiyou mountains, including Mt. Shasta City. Snowfall rates could exceed 1"/hour late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning
An Atmospheric River is increasingly likely Thu PM-Sat. The deepest snowpack will absorb much of the rain, but the shallower snowpack below ~ 5500 ft. will pose the greatest flood concerns.

The weather will turn a little warmer by the end of the week. On Friday and Saturday, a "warm" storm will bring rain to the area. The snow level will be above 9,000 feet.

More snow? A bit. Light snow will develop overnight over N UT & SW WY, persisting into Tuesday morning. Accumulations will be light (less than 1" for valleys, up to 4" for mountains), but any snow that falls will stick to roads. Be careful during the Tuesday AM commute!
