A heavy winter storm predicted for Tuesday evening has been downgraded and much of the moisture expected to hit the Sierra may stay west of the crest.
As much as 16 to 20 inches of snow was forecast for the crest of the Sierra above Mammoth by Wednesday morning, but a recent update by Mammoth’s amateur weather forecaster is pulling back from that.
“Apparently…the models were wrong in the placement of the upper low as it is verifying too far west,” Howard Sheckter wrote on his website Tuesday evening.
