\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. AND ALL NIGHT LONG, VIEWERS HAVE BEEN SENDING IN THEIR VIDEO. MARK CUBAN SENT US THIS SHOT OF HAIL IN CALAVERAS COUNTY NEAR ARNOLD. IN ADDITION TO THE HAIL, WE EVEN SAW SOME FLASHES OF LIGHTNING. AND TERRY SPEES SENT US THIS VIDEO. THIS IS FROM SOUTH YUBA CITY TONIGHT. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HAIL COMING DOWN ON THE PATIO AND ALSO SPLASHING INTO THE POOL. AND SPEAKING OF SPLASHING. LOOK AT THAT, KEN, FOR SENDING IN SOME VIDEO. THIS IS THE MARINA OUT IN RIO VISTA, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE LARGE HAILSTONES BASICALLY JUST PLOPPING DOWN INTO THE SACRAMENTO RIVER. AND THEN CHECK THIS OUT. Z MARTINEZ SENDING IN THE VIDEO OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER, A FUNNEL CLOUD. THIS IS OVER SALIDA. SO A LOT TO SHOW YOU A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT 11. I\u2019M GULSTAN DART. WE\u2019VE BEEN WATCHING LIGHTNING FLASHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT. OF COURSE, A LOT STILL GOING ON BEHIND US. SO LET\u2019S GO TO METEOROLOGIST HEATHER WALDMAN. SO YEAH, A BUSY NIGHT. BUSY NIGHT FOR THE WEATHER TEAM. BUSY DAY FOR THE NEWS TEAM AS WELL. BUT FORTUNATELY THINGS ARE REALLY SETTLING DOWN HERE WEATHER WISE AS WE GO INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WHICH IS WHAT YOU\u2019D EXPECT, RIGHT? WE LOSE THE DAYTIME HEATING, WE LOSE THE ENERGY SOURCE. THAT WAS REALLY POWERING A LOT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. STILL A COUPLE OF FLASHES OF LIGHTNING, BUT THAT\u2019S IN THE HIGH COUNTRY. SO YEAH, THAT\u2019S THUNDERSNOW. AT THIS POINT. THESE SHOWERS MOVING INTO SACRAMENTO COUNTY, PARTS OF SOLANO COUNTY AND SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. NO LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OF THIS. SO EASIER NIGHT FOR SLEEPING IN ALL OF THESE AREAS. AND LAST NIGHT AT THIS TIME IT WAS REALLY NOISY, ESPECIALLY UP IN THE PLACER IN EL DORADO COUNTY. JUST PLAIN OLD RAIN HERE JUST ABOVE THE HILL FROM GRASS VALLEY AND NEVADA CITY. FORESTHILL YOU MAY STILL BE SEEING A FEW RAINDROPS, BUT THE SNOW NOW REALLY FILLING IN OVER DONNER SUMMIT, KINGVALE AND TRUCKEE CHAIN CONTROLS ARE UP ON INTERSTATE 80. ANTICIPATE THEM GOING UP ON 50 AND 88. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE A THEME THROUGH THE WEEKEND. KIRKWOOD HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SOME OF THE SNOW. SO HAS BEAR VALLEY. THERE\u2019S A COUPLE OF THOSE THUNDERBOLTS THERE OVER THE LAST FEW MINUTES, A FREEZE FRAME OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT DONNER SUMMIT. THIS WAS TAKEN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO. THERE ARE TRUCKS GOING BY THE ROAD FOR NOW IS JUST WET, BUT IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE SNOW IS NOW COATING THE GROUND. YESTERDAY WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT NOTHING BUT BARE DIRT. SO NICE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW ACCUMULATING. FIRST STORM SYSTEM COMING THROUGH NOW IS WHAT SET OFF THE THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THIS IS WHAT WE\u2019RE WATCHING FOR THIS WEEKEND. THAT SYSTEM HAS GOT MUCH COLDER AIR WITH IT. IT\u2019S GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT BREEZY TOO AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY. FUTURECAST ALL THE GOOD\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
