It looks cold this week but the extended weather outlook looks nicer, much nicer, maybe there is something to the Indian Summer there. Doesn't it have to freeze first then the nice Summer like weather to follow?

Any last minute update to the Sierra Forecast, particularly Tioga Pass?
We've got snow forecasted down to 3500 feet up here in the Oregon/Washington Cascades on Saturday - which means Siskiyou Summit will be white (hopefully just wet -- chains make travel real slow....)
thanks

Appears the Tioga Pass will be clear. The storm is going by farther north than originally expected ... they've even cancelled the showers in the forecast for Sacramento.
The Yosemite forecast is good through the weekend. I checked two different forecasts ... they call for Mostly Cloudy in Yosemite Valley but only Partly Cloudy over the pass tonight (Friday) ... with tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday as either Mostly Sunny or Sunny. I also checked Lee Vining [Mono Lake](6000' elev.) on the other side of the pass and they're calling for Sunny for today and throughout the weekend.
Looking at the webcam at the pass, virtually all the snow that was on the meadow in the background is now gone so even if they got a snow shower overnight the road should be clear by Sunday. Looks like a safe bet to me.
