potential for a wet Easter weekend
From the National Weather Service office in Sacramento:
SPRING STORM WILL BRING COOLER AND WETTER WEATHER FOR THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND...
IMPACTS:
* OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES COULD BE IMPACTED BY WET CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS.
* POSSIBLE TRAVEL DELAYS AND CHAINS REQUIREMENTS OVER SIERRA
NEVADA PASSES.
A SLOW MOVING PACIFIC STORM WILL GRADUALLY APPROACH NORTHERN
INTERIOR CALIFORNIA TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. A WEAK DISTURBANCE
AHEAD OF THIS COULD BRING GENERALLY LIGHT SHOWERS THROUGH FRIDAY.
THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL MOVE INLAND OVER THE WEEKEND.
THIS RELATIVELY MILD SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME HIGH ELEVATION SNOW
AND VALLEY RAIN BEFORE IT EXITS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SNOW AND RAIN AMOUNTS ARE UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME BUT COULD CAUSE
TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. CURRENTLY THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO A
THIRD OF AN INCH OF RAIN IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND SEVERAL INCHES
OF SNOW ABOVE 6000 FEET.
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY OVER
THE WEEKEND.
