The National Weather Service said more than half an inch of rain and winds topping 20 miles per hour are in the Friday forecast.
For Christmas Day, up to a quarter inch of rain is expected during the day, with chances of more rain plus snow on Christmas night.
The potential for snow is expected to continue into Sunday morning, falling to as low as 1,000 to 2,000 feet in elevation.
While no accumulation is anticipated in the lower elevations, heavy mountain snow is expected, the forecast said.
The National Weather Service said there are chances of rain again on Monday, with potential for snow showers from Monday night through Thursday.
Temperatures through the weekend and into next week are forecast to be in the high 30s to low 40s during the day and at night hovering in the low 30s until the middle of next week, when they could drop into the high 20s.
