\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOUR STATE. THERE IT IS, HEAVY RAIN COMING DOWN IN OUR REGION TODAY. EVEN SOME HAIL SHOWERING EL DORADO HILLS. YOU CAN HEAR THE RAIN POUNDING ON THAT PAVEMENT, THE WIND PICKING UP THE RAIN, MOVING IT SIDEWAYS A BIT. AND THIS WAS THE SCENE THROUGHOUT THE EL DORADO COUNTY REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CHECK OUT THIS TIME LAPSE SHOWING THE STORM MOVE THROUGH EL DORADO COUNTY. THIS IS A THREE HOUR TIME LAPSE STARTING AT AROUND AROUND ONE ONE THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERAL HEAVY BANDS OF RAIN MOVING THROUGH, BRINGING HAIL TO SOME AREAS. THE SCENE WE\u2019VE BEEN SEEING THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY TODAY. THAT\u2019S WHY OUR TEAM OF METEOROLOGISTS MADE TODAY A KCRA THREE WEATHER ALERT DAY FOR THE VALLEY. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THE KCRA THREE NEWS AT SIX. I\u2019M CECIL HANNIBAL. THAT\u2019S JUST THE START OF THIS STORM AND MORE WIND, WET WEATHER IS ON THE WAY. LET\u2019S GET OVER TO OUR METEOROLOGIST, OPHELIA YOUNG, WHO\u2019S TRACKING THIS STORM FORCE. SO WHAT\u2019S AHEAD FOR US TONIGHT? WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? WELL, YOUR DINNER TIME HOURS. CECIL WILL BE NICE AND QUIET AS WE ENJOY A LULL FROM STORMY ACTIVITY. BUT WE DO HAVE SHOWERS RETURNING LATE NIGHT, AND THAT TURNS INTO HEAVY RAINS AS YOU WALK OUT FOR YOUR SUNDAY MORNING. SO RIGHT NOW IT IS DRY IN THE VALLEY. BUT CERTAINLY WE\u2019VE HAD SOME VERY ACTIVE WEATHER, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN SURROUNDING THE VALLEY. CURRENTLY, THUNDER AND LIGHTNING ACTIVITY HAS DIED DOWN FOR THIS EVENING, BUT WE\u2019RE STILL WATCHING A LINE OF SHOWERS STRETCHING FROM JUST EAST OF LODI UP INTO IONE. YOU\u2019RE STILL GETTING SOME PRETTY HEAVY RAINS IN PLYMOUTH. POCKET OF LIGHT TO MODERATE, MAYBE EVEN HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS. ALSO, PLACERVILLE LOOKS LIKE YOU\u2019RE DRYING OUT AS THIS LINE OF SHOWERS MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND ALL THE WAY INTO POLLOCK PINES, YOU\u2019RE GETTING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. IT\u2019S TURNING INTO SNOW ABOVE 5500FT. THE REST OF US THUNDERSTORMS ARE VERY HIT AND MISS, SO IF YOU DIDN\u2019T GET A THUNDERSTORM TODAY, YOU CERTAINLY FELT THE BREEZES. THEY\u2019VE CALMED DOWN THIS EVENING RIGHT NOW. JUST A BREEZE LINGERING FROM FAIRFIELD UP TO YUBA CITY. MAYBE A LITTLE WIND IN SPOTS LIKE PLACERVILLE WHERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO COLLAPSE. WE CONTINUE TO KEEP TODAY A WEATHER ALERT DAY, ESPECIALLY FOR STORM ACTIVITY LINGERING IN THE FOOTHILLS. AND AGAIN, LIGHTNING, HAIL. THAT\u2019S ALL POSSIBLE FOR AT LEAST THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENING. AS WE CALM DOWN, HOWEVER, WE\u2019RE GETTING READY FOR THAT SNOW LEVEL TO DROP IN THE SIERRA. EVEN MORE STORMS TOMORROW. TOMO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
