<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Rain on the way<\/p>\n
Dry and mild Monday with a mix of sun and clouds but rain showers move in overnight. Tuesday is an IMPACT DAY for Northern California for rain and gusty winds.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t12 AND 18IN OF SNOW. IT\u2019S A MUCH DIFFERENT STORY HERE IN OUR REGION, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY, HERE\u2019S A LIVE LOOK HERE STOCKTON ALL DRY AND CLEAR CURRENTLY, BUT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS HEADED OUR WAY THIS WEEK. IT IS, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A MUCH WARMER SYSTEM THAN THE LAST ONE. SO UNFORTUNATELY WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO BE GETTING ANY FRESH SNOW FOR THE SKIERS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A RAIN EVENT FOR US, BUT LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING ON THE EAST COAST. AND THERE YOU SEE THAT SNOW. THE ENTIRE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. YOU HAVE NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT, RHODE ISLAND AND EVEN INTO MASSACHUSETTS. WE\u2019RE SEEING THAT SNOW CONTINUING TO COME DOWN. NOW, SNOW TOTALS IN THIS AREA COULD BE POTENTIALLY 1 TO 2FT, BUT IT\u2019S NOT THE SNOW THAT PROMPTS THAT BLIZZARD WARNING. IT\u2019S THE WIND. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE DEALING WITH SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SNOW TOTALS HERE, BUT WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH TREES DOWN, POWER LINES DOWN. OF COURSE, POWER OUTAGES WHEN YOU\u2019RE DEALING WITH THIS KIND OF WEATHER, NOT A GOOD THING TO BE DEALING WITH. AND HUGE SNOW DRIFTS BECAUSE OF THE WIND THAT WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH HERE AT HOME, MUCH QUIETER SITUATION. JUST A FEW CLOUDS AROUND THIS MORNING, 44 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO. WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE CLIMBING INTO THE MID AND EVEN UPPER 60S, THOUGH FOR LATER IN THE DAY. CLOUDS. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE INCREASING FOR US HERE AS WELL. NOW, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT SATELLITE RADAR IMAGERY, YOU DO SEE QUITE A FEW CLOUDS THAT ARE MOVING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE REGION, ESPECIALLY AROUND SACRAMENTO, BACK TOWARD FAIRFIELD AND SAC AND SAN FRANCISCO. THIS MORNING. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THOSE AS WE HEAD LATER INTO THE DAY. SO THIS IS A LOOK AT FUTURECAST AND HOW WE EXPECT THINGS TO PLAY OUT. WE\u2019RE EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY, SO NO MAJOR HICCUPS THERE. I DO THINK WE\u2019LL SEE QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NOON HOUR. BUT THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, THAT\u2019S WHEN YOU SEE MORE CLOUDS START TO PUSH IN. BY 6:00, WE\u2019RE ALREADY GOING TO BE SEEING THOSE SHOWERS CLOSER TO THE COAST, MOVING THEIR WAY INTO LAKE COUNTY. THEN AS WE HEAD AROUND MIDNIGHT, YOU SEE THE HEAVIER RAIN FOR THE COAST AND THE COASTAL HILLS. WE\u2019RE STARTING TO SEE SOME MORE SHOWER ACTIVITY HERE IN THE SIERRA, THE FOOTHILLS, A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW IN THE SIERRA BECAUSE WHEN THE SYSTEM STARTS, THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, SNOW LEVELS WILL BE AROUND 6500FT. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAYTIME HOURS OF TUESDAY, THOSE SNOW LEVELS CLIMB TO 10,000FT. SO AGAIN, PRIMARILY A RAIN EVENT EVEN FOR THE SIERRA. WE\u2019LL SEE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE VALLEY FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AND WE\u2019LL SEE MORE SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SIERRA. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE THE HEAVIEST RAIN IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN IS GOING TO BE IN THE AFTERNOON THERE. NOW, AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, AND BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAYBE A LINGERING SPRINKLE OR TWO, AND THEN WE\u2019RE DONE. WE START DRYING OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE WORKWEEK. AT LEAST NOW IT IS GOING TO BE AN IMPACT DAY FOR US ON TUESDAY. WE ARE EXPECTING STEADY RAIN, WET SNOW. THAT\u2019S AGAIN GOING TO BE VERY, VERY HIGH. AND THEN BREEZY CONDITIONS. AT TIMES, RAINFALL TOTALS WILL FOR THE VALLEY. WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT UP TO A HALF AN INCH UP TO 2.5IN THOUGH, FOR THE FOOTHILLS. AND YES, THE SIERRA 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN, NOT REALLY SNOW WITH THIS ONE. 64 DEGREES TODAY IN THE FOOTHILLS WE\u2019LL SEE UPPER 50S DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE SIERRA AND UPPER 60S IN THE VALLEY TODAY. BUT AGAIN, TOMORROW IS AN IMPACT\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
