A warmer storm system is set to sweep across Northern California this Tuesday, and it’s bringing more than just a light drizzle. As we prepare for a KCRA 3 Weather Impact Day, forecasters are predicting widespread rain throughout the region. This system, fueled by tropical moisture, means most of the precipitation will come down as rain rather than snow, with snow levels rising to near 10,000 feet.
Rainfall amounts in the Valley are estimated to reach between 0.25 to 0.50 inches, while foothills could get up to 1.5 inches, and the Sierra might see totals soar up to 2.5 inches. Keep your umbrellas handy because it’s going to be a wet day on the roads, particularly for Tuesday’s commute. Fortunately, the storm is expected to let up by late Tuesday, with just a few lingering showers hanging around for Wednesday.
The silver lining? No thunderstorm threats and warmer temperatures that might just make this rain feel a little less daunting. So, while the rain might disrupt your plans, think of it as an excuse to cozy up inside or perhaps brush off those skates for some rainy day fun!
