off-and-on wet this weekend

It appears we will see some wet weather this weekend in the Northstate, but it's not going to be a washout. A fairly weak area of low pressure will move through over the weekend, bringing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms to the valley, and scattered snow showers to the Sierra Nevada above 6000 feet (2-6 inches of snow are likely). Today we'll see a chance of scattered showers with highs in the upper 60s. Tomorrow is expected to be sunny and warmer, with mid 70s for highs. Then the showery weather returns for both Saturday and Sunday. Again, it won't rain all day both days, but be aware of potentially wet conditions for any Easter egg hunts or Sunrise Services.
