Sacramento, CA – A weak weather system is set to bring light rain and mountain snow to interior Northern California from Wednesday afternoon through early Thursday morning. While overall impacts are expected to be minimal, travelers should be prepared for slick road conditions during the Thursday morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Sacramento, rain accumulations will generally remain light, with up to 0.25 inches expected across most areas. Snow levels are forecast to start at 4,500-5,500 feet Wednesday before lowering to 3,500-4,500 feet by Thursday morning.
The system may cause minor travel delays in higher elevations, particularly in the Sierra Nevada and foothill regions, where snowfall could impact road conditions. Drivers should exercise caution and check road status updates before traveling.
The precipitation is expected to taper off by midday Thursday, with drier conditions returning for the remainder of the week. Commuters and travelers in affected areas should allow extra time and stay updated with the latest forecasts.
