“Any parades might get the old trope, rain on the parade,” Epstein said.

The National Weather Service forecasts that some parts of Northern California, like Eureka, could see 1-1.5 inches of rain. Areas like Sacramento, Placerville, Marysville, and Stockton could see up to .25 inches of rain.

In addition, snow levels in the Sierra Nevada may reach 5000-6000 feet. NWS advised drivers to look out for slick roads and plan for a longer commute than normal.

The upcoming holiday also has a 15-20% chance of seeing afternoon and early evening thunderstorms in the Sacramento Valley and Sierra foothills, north of US-50, according to NWS.

Any thunderstorms that develop could produce lightning, gusty winds, brief heavy rain, and the potential for small hail.
