Tomorrow morning is going to be anything but plain sailing on the roads, as light rain and snow team up to disrupt commuting plans across the Valley and Sierra. With the Sacramento Valley bracing for a quarter to half inch of rain, early risers might want to grab their galoshes and an extra cup of coffee.
But that’s not all—if you’re heading up to the Sierra, you’ll want to prepare for snow levels dropping to around 5,500 feet. Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches at Donner Summit could mean some serious chain control situations. So, if you thought your morning coffee runs were just that, think again; let’s just say it’s more of a “buckle up” kind of vibe!
The rain is expected to peak between 2 and 8 a.m., ensuring your commute starts with a splash—literally. However, don’t lose hope. By evening, all this wetness will leave, paving the way for a drier stretch just in time for Thanksgiving. So, are you ready to navigate the wet roads before cozying up for turkey day? Buckle in and drive safely!
