More rain, wind and snow: What you need to know for Northern California Impact Day on Thursday<\/p>\n

Rain, wind, and Sierra snow move into the region Wednesday night, but the heaviest precipitation is forecast for Thursday. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSATELLITE IMAGERY CERTAINLY SHOWING QUITE A FEW CLOUDS, MOST OF THEM HIGH CLOUDS, THOUGH MOVING THEIR WAY FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE REGION, BUT NO PRECIPITATION. AND THAT\u2019S THE WAY IT\u2019S GOING TO STAY TODAY. SO WE\u2019LL SEE A FEW CLOUDS ON AND OFF TEMPERATURES, THOUGH THE WARMEST WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE ALL WEEK, IN FACT, ABOUT TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. NOW, AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW, TEMPERATURES DIP A LITTLE BIT. A FEW MORE CLOUDS, BUT STILL A DRY AND MILD DAY FOR VETERAN\u2019S DAY. WEDNESDAY, THOUGH, EVEN THICKER CLOUDS. THE TEMPERATURES DIP EVEN FURTHER BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WE MAY START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE AND MIST, ESPECIALLY AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE COAST. BUT THURSDAY, THAT\u2019S THE IMPACT DAY AS THIS TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SWINGS ITS WAY THROUGH. YOU\u2019LL SEE SOME OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN, I THINK, IN THE VALLEY DURING THE MORNING HOURS. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THAT MORNING COMMUTE AND THE SNOW LEVELS DROPPING IN. THE SIERRA COULD SEE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OUT OF THIS ONE. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. NOW, FRIDAY, THERE\u2019S A POSSIBILITY FOR A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AROUND, BUT SATURDAY EVERYTHING STARTS TO DRY BACK OUT. A WEAKER SYSTEM STARTS TO MOVE ITS WAY IN ON MONDAY OR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, BRINGING US POTENTIALLY ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND SNOW INTO THE REGION. THEN HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD IN TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH RAIN WE MIGHT SEE OUT OF THIS SYSTEM. SO FOR YUBA CITY AND SACRAMENTO, UP TO AN INCH. BLUE CANYON UP TO THREE INCHES. TRUCKEE COULD SEE UP TO AN INCH. AND THEN OF COURSE, NOW WE\u2019VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE SNOW TOTALS. AND THESE ARE LOOKING PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. IN FACT, DONNER SUMMIT COULD SEE UP TO 12IN EBBETTS PASS UP TO 24IN AND SONORA PASS UP TO 26. CERTAINLY GREAT NEWS THOUGH, FOR THE SKI RESORTS THAT ARE GETTING READY TO OPEN. LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO TODAY 78 DEGREES, MOSTLY SUNNY. BUT LOOK AT THE CHANGE. THURSDAY\u2019S HIGH 60 WITH THE RAIN AND THE WIND. FRIDAY. 58. SO WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT A 20 DEGREE DROP IN TEMPERATURES BETWEEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY. WOW.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
