Another storm is expected to move into the region after the first one exits
Another storm was expected to move into the region later Friday, after the first one exits, but it’ll have much less moisture to work with. Most locations can expect a tenth of an inch of rain at most, while areas where heavier showers form could total a quarter of an inch by Saturday. The interior North Bay and East Bay could see a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch of rain, while coastal ranges from Sonoma to Big Sur could get a quarter to half an inch of rain.
“It’s not widespread rain by any stretch of the imagination. We could see hit-or-miss showers where one location could get absolutely nothing while another location five miles over could get a quarter-inch,” Peterson said. A wind advisory was issued for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday for the coastal portions of the North Bay, San Francisco and the coast of the Peninsula. Northerly winds could reach 25 to 35 miles per hour, with gusts up to 40 to 50 miles per hour. The weather service advised residents to secure loose outdoor structures and objects and to be mindful of tree limbs that could be blown down, resulting in power outages.
The Sierra Nevada could also get several inches of snow, with the heaviest amounts to fall Friday night. Lassen Park was expected to receive 12 to 18 inches while Carson Pass could get eight to 12 inches. Donner Pass, Ebbetts Pass and Sonora Pass could get six to eight inches of snow. The weather service warned of hazardous mountain travel and advised drivers to bring emergency supply kits and chains.
Here's a look at the updated rain and mountain snow forecast for tomorrow thru Saturday. The heaviest snow is expected Friday evening and will create mountain travel issues. Plan ahead: carry chains, an emergency supply kit, and stay up to date on road & weather conditions!
