Northern California forecast | Dry Wednesday ahead of more rain, snow
Wednesday offers a brief break from wet weather for Northern California after it received a soaking from steady rain and heavy Sierra snow driven by an atmospheric river. But more rain and snow arrive on Thursday. Meteorologist Heather Waldman said there will be scattered showers during the morning commute and the rain will continue on and off through the evening. Expect the rain as early as 8 a.m. in the Valley. Amounts will be far less than what the region saw on Tuesday. Our weather team says the Sacramento Valley could see up to three-quarters of an inch in some areas from Thursday into Friday. Flooding is not expected to be an issue on Thursday.However, the storm could cause issues for travel in the Sierra from Thursday into Friday with snow and wind.Waldman said snow levels will start as low as 5,000 feet on Thursday and then rise to about 7,000 feet on Thursday night. That means areas near Baxter on Interstate 80 and Kyburz on Highway 50 are likely to see snow before rain mixes in. Expect Sierra chain controls to start around 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. and last throughout the day Thursday. The snow level will drop to around 4,000 feet on Friday. Two to three feet of snow is possible at 7,000 feet and above. Areas below that will have a mix of rain and snow.
