Northern California is still recovering from the drenching it received on Thursday, but don’t put those raincoats away just yet! As the region wakes up damp and chilly on Friday, many are already bracing for the next wave of weather anticipated to sweep through over the weekend. The storm system, which was relatively short-lived, brought impressive rainfall totals—1.43 inches in Sacramento, 1.21 inches in Marysville, and even over an inch in other areas like Fairfield and Modesto.
Mark your calendars, because another weather system is set to roll in late Saturday and could significantly impact weekend plans. Meteorologist Tamara Berg is warning that travel could be tricky, especially as rain and snow are expected. The snow level will dip to around 6,000-7,000 feet, which might bring chain controls back into play over the mountain passes—a little reminder that winter is indeed on its way.
So, whether you’re hoping for a cozy day indoors or planning outdoor activities, keep an eye on the forecast. It sounds like a mix of wet weather and cold temperatures might just put a kink in your weekend plans. But hey, at least the plants are loving all this moisture, right? Just don’t forget to drive safely out there!
