Arnold, CA….From the National Weather Service Sacramento….Wet Weather Returns to Northern California Later this Week. A surge of sub-tropical moisture from Hawaii will bring a return of wet weather to northern California beginning Thursday and continuing into the weekend. Periods of heavy rain, and strong gusty south winds, are possible Friday night and Saturday. Rain should decrease on Sunday.

Rainfall amounts from 2 to 7 inches are expected over the mountains, and 1 to 3 inches in the Central Valley. The warm subtropical air will mean high snow levels, generally above the mountain passes until Sunday when the precipitation decreases.

Runoff from this warm storm combined with melting snow over the lower mountainous elevations may cause localized roadway flooding, minor mud and rock slides, or flooding of small river and streams, especially in the Foothills or other low-lying areas.

Stay tuned for updates on this warm, wet storm.
