The overnight storm left Yosemite with some new snow, as seen in webcams operated by the Yosemite Conservancy.

A small amount of snow fell on the Ahwahnee Meadow, with more atop Half Dome and the mountains surrounding the valley.

The storm that came early Thursday will move out of Central California today, with cool, dry air arriving in its wake. The National Weather Service said overnight lows will fall into the 30s for several nights in the Valley, and morning fog may reappear. But no new rain chances are forecast for at least the next five days.
