A slight chance of showers develops Sunday night as March begins tomorrow, with snow levels near 7,000 feet lowering to around 6,100 feet after midnight. Valley snow is not expected, but Sierra passes could see light accumulation.
Monday turns mostly sunny with highs near 56. Clear skies Monday night allow temperatures to drop to near 33 degrees, bringing a sharp late winter chill back to the valleys. Patchy slick spots are possible if moisture lingers after sunset.
