After back-to-back atmospheric rivers, Northern California is not out of the woods yet of getting more rain and snow this week.
A new storm system moves in Wednesday bringing more rain, snow and wind, yet impacts will be milder.
Wednesday’s Storm System
A weak and quick-passing storm system moves through the region Wednesday through Thursday, bringing more rain and wind to the valley and foothills, as well as more Sierra snowfall.
This storm system is moving in from the Pacific Northwest bringing in colder air along with it. This will keep snow levels lower as snow starts to develop.
Wednesday will start quiet and cloudy before more rain moves in through the afternoon. By noon – 3 p.m., expect rain to become a bit steadier and heavy at times. It’ll be a wet afternoon and evening commute with slick roads across the region.
Rain becomes scattered this evening as this system advances towards the southeast.
Wind gusts will be close to 30 – 35 mph during the peak of the storm in the middle of the day. We may see more downed tree limbs on trees that were previously damaged in our last storm. But we are not expecting widespread issues.
