weekend. There a high-to-likely chance of rain across the area
between Saturday and Sunday. Rainfall amounts will likely range from
a quarter inch or less, except a quarter to half inch across
northwestern San Luis Obispo County. Amounts will be highest for the
northern portion of the area and along the northern slopes of the
mountains. Snow levels will be quite variable across the area, but
there is a good chance of snow levels down to 6000 feet. There is a
small chance of snow levels down to as low as 4500 feet.
