Upcoming Storms Bring Rain and Unsettled Weather to Northern California

Unsettled weather is expected to return to Northern California as we "fall back" this weekend. Rain will focus mainly across northern portions of the Sacramento Valley into the Pacific Northwest, while areas from Chico to the south will stay dry until the weekend. Rain and cooler temperatures are forecasted through early next week, with the Sierra expected to receive slightly more rain accumulations. Snow levels will drop on Sunday, potentially causing slick roads and low visibility in the passes. Models hint at 2 to 5 inches of snow possible for the passes, especially across Highway 50 and I-80. Showers will fill in across the valley on Sunday evening through Monday, while the Sierra will experience cool and cloudy conditions with scattered showers. The Delta will see more clouds and slightly cooler temperatures, while the Bay Area can expect rain on Sunday with up to two-tenths of an inch expected by Sunday night.
