SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Another storm is pushing into California on Saturday. The forecast calls for rain, high winds and cold temperatures to the Sacramento region and snow across the Sierra region.
Heavy rain – likely the heaviest at any time during the storm – moves into the Sacramento Valley during the late afternoon and early evening. The heavy rain may lead to some ponding on roads and somewhat reduced visibility. In other words, a good soaking rain is expected.
A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect and continues until early Sunday morning.
Additionally, an Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Sierra. The Sierra Avalanche Center is forecasting high avalanche danger today. New snow accumulation and strong winds will further destabilize already weak slabs. Natural avalanches are likely; human-triggered avalanches are very likely. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended due to very dangerous avalanche conditions and the possibility for large avalanches.
