<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Rain and snow on the way<\/p>\n
A few scattered showers are already present Sunday morning, but the heavier rain is expected to arrive this afternoon and Sierra snow begins this evening.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLET\u2019S GET A CHECK OF OUR FORECAST FOR TODAY WITH KELLY. WE KNOW THAT RAIN IS MOVING IN. YEAH, THE RAIN IS ON THE WAY, BUT RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO IT\u2019S SUNNY. GO FOR A WALK. GO FOR A RUN. TEMPERATURES NOT AS COLD THIS MORNING EITHER BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT SOUTHERLY FLOW. AND WE\u2019RE ALSO SAW AT LEAST SOME CLOUDS, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. SO ENJOY THIS. RUN THOSE ERRANDS YOU NEED TO GET DONE BECAUSE THE RAIN IS COMING AND WE\u2019RE ALREADY SEEING QUITE A BIT OF IT. CLOSER TO THE COAST, WE\u2019VE SEEN SOME SHOWERS IN NAPA COUNTY, LAKE COUNTY. THOSE ARE CONTINUING TO TRACK THEIR WAY TO THE NORTH, AND THEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS SLIDING ITS WAY TO THE EAST. SO LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURECAST AND HOW EVERYTHING IS EXPECTED TO PLAY OUT. SO LIKE I SAID THIS MORNING, MOST OF THE SHOWERS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE COAST. I THINK THIS MODEL HAS THEM A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR EAST. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN MID AFTERNOON. SO THIS IS 330 NOTICE NOW WE\u2019RE STARTING TO SEE SHOWERS AROUND STOCKTON MODESTO. SOME HEAVIER RAIN STARTING TO MOVE ITS WAY INTO SACRAMENTO, SEEING A LOT MORE ALONG THE COAST, ESPECIALLY AS YOU GET UP INTO THE COASTAL HILLS. THEN AS WE HEAD TOWARD 9:00, THIS IS SO EIGHT NINE. I\u2019D SAY BETWEEN 7 AND 9. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE GOING TO START SEEING THE SNOW GOING IN THE SIERRA AND NOTICE THE HEAVIER BANDS OF RAIN IN THE VALLEY AND ALSO IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE\u2019RE SEEING THOSE SHADES OF YELLOWS AND ORANGES. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE PRETTY STEADY THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. SO BY THE TIME WE\u2019RE WAKING UP MONDAY MORNING, WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SLICK ROADS AND LIKELY CHAIN CONTROLS IN THE SIERRA. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. I KNOW MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY, SO A LOT OF PEOPLE DON\u2019T HAVE TO WORK. THAT\u2019S NICE. BUT IF YOU DROVE UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, HAVE A LONG WEEKEND, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE HOME ON MONDAY. SO IF YOU CAN GO HOME TODAY, GO HOME LATER THIS AFTERNOON, GET SOME RUNS IN THIS MORNING AND THEN COME HOME BECAUSE THAT SNOW IS NOT GOING TO LET UP ALL DAY TOMORROW. NOW, MONDAY NIGHT WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK. BUT LOOK AT THIS BY TUESDAY MORNING. HERE WE GO. MORE SNOW COMING DOWN, SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AGAIN. HEAVY AT TIMES. NOW LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WE MIGHT SEE OUT OF THIS. SO IN SACRAMENTO WE\u2019RE TALKING UP TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN. NOW THIS IS SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY RIGHT. SO FOUR DAY TOTAL PLACERVILLE COULD SEE UP TO ABOUT THREE INCHES STOCKTON ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF. NOW, AS FAR AS THE SNOW GOES, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE STARTING UP AROUND 25 OR 5500FT. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. AND THEN IT DROPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY. BY TUESDAY, WE\u2019RE AT 3200FT, AND BY WEDNESDAY, 20 400FT. LOOK AT THESE TOTALS. SO DONNER SUMMIT COULD SEE UP TO FIVE FEET OF SNOW AROUND TWO FEET UP BY SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. BLUE CANYON COULD SEE 2 TO 3FT OF SNOW AND EVEN POLLOCK PINES. YOU\u2019RE UP AROUND 4000FT. YOU COULD SEE UP TO AROUND A FOOT OF SNOW OUT OF THIS SYSTEM. NOW WE ALSO HAVE A WIND ADVISORY. THIS IS FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY FOR THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, FOR WINDS GUSTING UP TO 45MPH. SO YES, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE COLD, WET AND WINDY IN THE FOOTHILLS AGAIN. RAIN SHOWERS START THIS AFTERNOON. THOSE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE ON AND OFF THROUGH THURSDAY. LOOK AT THOSE HIGHS TO ONLY 44 ON TUESDAY. THE SIERRA WE HAVE ALERT DAYS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AGAIN TRAVEL IS JUST NOT ADVISED. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A MESS. SO COME DOWN TODAY OR WAIT UNTIL THE STORM IS OVER. IF YOU\u2019RE UP THERE SKIING NOW FOR THE VALLEY, WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS TODAY, BUT THE HEAVIEST COMES TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. WE\u2019LL SEE SOME MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS, BUT BREEZY AND COLD TOO, BECAUSE TUESDAY\u2019S HIGHS ONLY GOING TO BE 50. WOW. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IT\u2019S\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
