TRUCKEE – Heavy snow is expected for most of St. Patrick's Day on Monday in the Sierra Nevada as another storm system moves through Northern California.
For the Sacramento Valley, some precipitation and thunderstorms are possible through the evening hours.
The high country is where a good chunk of the weather action will be, however.
