More wet weather is on its way to the Sacramento region.
The National Weather Service reports Northern California is expected to see some rain Wednesday night, with heavier precipitation coming by Sunday. Areas like Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe may see up to a quarter-inch of rainfall by Thursday morning, while Grass Valley, Redding, and Yuba City may see even more. The mid-week system is expected to die down before the larger storm rolls in this weekend, maybe bringing up to two inches of rain. Additionally, the NWS reports temperatures in Sacramento will fall throughout the week from mid-60's, dipping into the 40's.
Nearly two weeks ago, much of the state and West Coast was hit by a historic storm that saw Downtown Sacramento officially set its all-time 24-hour rainfall total record with 5.44″ falling on October 24, beating the old record of 5.28” – a mark that was set back in 1880.
This mid-week system is expected to come and go quickly, but a larger system will roll into the region just a few days later.
