California's mountains could see rare August snow in weekend of 'weather whiplash'

An unusually strong cold front is moving across Northern California, potentially bringing August snow to the Sierra Nevada peaks due to a low-pressure system.

For the first time in over two decades, August snow could occur in California's Sierra Nevada, particularly at Tioga Pass and Yosemite's tallest points.

The National Weather Service noted that roads near Tioga Pass may become slick due to brief snowfall, although any accumulation is expected to be minimal.

While rare, weather conditions have created a probability of dusting in the Sierra Nevada, marking an unusually early hint of fall.
