SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Northern California is set to experience a shift in weather patterns, with the possibility of showers and snow in the forecast for Monday. The region saw warmer temperatures over the weekend, with most areas in the Valley reaching 70 degrees on Saturday.
As the weekend comes to a close, Sunday is expected to remain beautiful, but a slight cooling trend is anticipated as more clouds move in along with a light onshore breeze. By Monday, the weather is projected to change, bringing light showers to the Valley. The heaviest rain accumulations are predicted to occur south of Sacramento, with totals ranging from 0.05 to 0.20 inches. Sacramento may not see significant rainfall, but there is a chance of snow, which could lead to chain control requirements for a portion of the day.
In the Sierra Nevada mountains, three to six inches of wet snow are expected at higher elevations, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions. Monday has been designated as an Impact Day due to the anticipated slower travel times in the mountainous regions. Following this, Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be dry before a colder and stormier pattern emerges late on Thursday.
