The cold front moves in Friday, with light rain forecast not to exceed a quarter of an inch, fading by late afternoon or evening.
There aren't any other storms on the horizon for a bit, which means that the exceptional amount of snow that the Sierra saw in December will get balanced out by an atypically dry first half of January.
Although the statewide snowpack was 166% of normal on Dec. 30, a dry January would push the season-to-date snowpack much closer to normal.
A long period westerly to northwesterly swell will arrive, possibly resulting in the need for High Surf Advisories along the West Coast.
