A pleasant mid-November day is giving way to warmer temperatures on Thursday, but a significant change is on the way. A series of weather systems will bring cooler air, gusty winds, and chances for precipitation late this week into the weekend. Friday and Saturday will see light snow in higher elevations, including the Eastern Sierra and Spring Mountains, where snow levels could drop as low as 4500 feet. While most of the region will experience cooler temperatures, the Sierra peaks could receive up to 5 inches of snow. Conditions are expected to stabilize next week, with warmer and quieter weather returning by Thursday.
