SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California is facing stormy weather as an atmospheric river is drenching the northern part of the state Thursday.
The storm forecast calls for periods of rain across the Sacramento Valley. Thunderstorms are expected Thursday afternoon. The snow level will continue to change so be prepared for on-and-off travel delays and possible chain controls as snow will fall at about 5,000 feet in the Sierra.
The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for parts of the Sacramento Valley because of rain runoff into the rivers and streams.
Many organizations are offering sand bags in Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, El Dorado, Nevada, Tuolumne, Placer and Amador counties. Power outages have happened in many Sacramento-area neighborhoods.
