A quick-moving storm was just enough to give us another taste of winter at the beginning of the week as it brought steady valley rain and six inches of snow to the Sierra.
Behind the storm, Tuesday brought us a dry day before another active storm system arrives. Our First Alert Weather team has made Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday First Alert Action days as more rain and snow move back into Northern California.
Tuesday’s brief break
Expect mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures through Tuesday afternoon. Valley highs in the low-mid 60s. By the evening, clouds will begin to roll in ahead of our next storm system. We’ll stay dry through a chilly Tuesday night as lows dip to the 30s and 40s.
1st round: Wednesday – Thursday
It will be a dry start to our Wednesday as clouds and winds increase through the morning. The day will start chilly before temperatures warm to the 50s and low 60s.
Across the Sierra, wind arrives first and will stay strong through the afternoon. A Wind Advisory has been issued as wind gusts range from 20-50 MPH, with higher wind speeds across Sierra ridgetops.
