Northern California woke up to quite a surprise on Thursday, as rainfall swept through the region, leaving several areas soaked. Sacramento took the lead with a whopping 1.43 inches, closely followed by Marysville and Fairfield, with 1.21 inches and 1.04 inches respectively. Modesto and Stockton also felt the sprinkles, registering 0.85 inches and 0.72 inches. It’s safe to say, umbrellas were in high demand!
But this isn’t just a one-time drenching. Meteorologist Tamara Berg indicates that more wet weather is on the horizon, expected to roll in overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. Just when you thought it was safe to leave the rain gear at home, a second wave of precipitation looks set to crash that party, possibly disrupting outdoor plans.
With predicted rainfall between 0.25 to 0.75 inches for Sacramento and up to 1.5 inches in foothill towns like Placerville and Sonora, it’s going to be a busy weekend for residents. Not to mention, snow levels are expected to dip between 6,000 to 7,000 feet, meaning travel conditions could get a bit tricky. So, whether you’re making plans for a cozy day indoors or braving the weather for a holiday outing, it’s wise to check the forecast. Let’s hope this weekend doesn’t turn into a wet and wild adventure too soon!
