Southern California mountains received a steady stream of snowfall this season, including a medium dusting on Mt. Baldy and even more in the Big Bear Lake area on Friday, April 5. The long range forecast calls for sunny skies and warmer weather for the next couple of weeks, meaning the snow season is most likely coming to an end quickly. The current conditions are excellent for skiing, but with Claremont weather in the 80s midweek, it won’t last long. Locally, look for high temperatures to vary between 70-85 degrees this week, with cool evenings in the low 50s. Check out the mountain forecast. Courier photos/Peter Weinberger
