Sacramento, CA – A light rainstorm is expected to affect northern California from Sunday evening, April 6, through Monday morning, April 7, 2025. The US National Weather Service forecasts the heaviest rainfall along the mountains and foothills north of Interstate 80, with rainfall amounts ranging from 0.1 to 0.25 inches in most areas. Snow levels will remain high, staying above 7,000 feet, which will limit snowfall to higher peaks.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm is expected to impact travel in the northern Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills. Rainfall could lead to slick roads, particularly for travelers on higher elevation routes. Those in affected areas should be cautious while traveling, especially in the foothill regions where roads may be more prone to being impacted by the rain.
The storm is forecast to start late Sunday afternoon and will continue into Monday morning, tapering off by early Monday. The National Weather Service urges locals to be prepared for the brief weather event, especially in regions above 7,000 feet where snowfall may also pose challenges.
