The National Weather Service said a series of weak storms began drifting into Northern California late Thursday, bringing cloudy skies to Sacramento and chances of rain on Friday. Highs on Friday were anticipated to reach the low 60s, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 40s. Rain totals for Friday were expected to be light, with most valley locations receiving around 0.1 to 0.25 inches before showers taper off early Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, the Sierra Nevada will experience more pronounced effects from the storm system. A winter weather advisory was in effect until noon Friday for the Greater Lake Tahoe area, with wet snow above 8,000 feet. Snow accumulations were expected up to 4 inches above 8,000 feet and up to 2 inches between 7,500 and 8,000 feet, the Weather Service said. Winds were gusting up to 25 mph in Sierra valleys, and as high as 40 mph in upper elevations.
Motorists heading into the mountains should monitor forecasts for updated advisories. Gusty winds and freeze-thaw conditions are expected above 7,000 feet, increasing the risk of tree branches falling and localized visibility reductions.
Through Saturday, most precipitation will remain light across the region. The Weather Service said Sunday will see increased cloud cover and renewed chances for sprinkles or brief showers, although heavier, widespread rain is expected until late Sunday into Monday.
By Monday morning, a new storm system will bring steadier rain over the Sacramento Valley and continued wet weather into Monday afternoon.
