No, this is not a prank. April showers could reach Sacramento at the start of the month, according to National Weather Service forecasts Friday.<\/p>\n

After a stretch of \u201cwell above normal\u201d high temperatures for March, including some record-breaking days, the weather pattern over Northern California appears to be poised to shift early next week.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know about the incoming weather system.<\/p>\n

Will the rain return to Sacramento?<\/p>\n

The weather service\u2019s Sacramento office said in a social media post Friday that a storm track may be headed for the West Coast in the coming days.<\/p>\n

This new pattern, which could push out a high pressure system that trapped hot air throughout the area for nearly two weeks, is set to bring moisture, breezy winds and even the possibility of thunder to the region.<\/p>\n

A chance of rain is forecast to arrive to the capital city Monday night, sticking around at least through Thursday<\/a>. The probability is expected to be highest on Wednesday night, according to a forecast.<\/p>\n
