California Prepares for Unusual August Snowfall

A rare cold front is set to bring snow to the Sierra Nevada, marking the first August snowfall in 20 years.

Temperatures in California are expected to drop 10-15 degrees below average due to an approaching cold front.
The Sierra Nevada could see up to half an inch of snow, primarily affecting high elevations like Yosemite National Park.
This weather pattern is influenced by atmospheric energy from a recent typhoon near Tokyo.
The cold front will also bring light rain to the San Francisco Bay Area, an uncommon event for August.
By next week, temperatures in California are expected to return to above-normal levels.
