NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - Grab your umbrellas, California! This Wednesday brought both cloudy skies and moderate showers to Northern California, with even more of the wet stuff predicted for today. Most of the moisture will be south of Sacramento in the Stockton, Modesto, foothills, and the higher country, but some will venture into the bay area and beyond into San Jose as well.

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts that the approaching weather system will combine with moisture moving from the Southwest to generate showers Wednesday afternoon and into today.

The NWS expects rainfall amounts of a half-inch or more in the northern Sierra Nevada, while Sacramento could get a tenth to two-tenths of an inch of rain.

This won't be the end of Northern California’s wet weather either. Forecasters are predicting another weather system will drop down from the north on Saturday as well. 

Even if your area of Northern California sees quite a bit of rain this week, don’t expect the drought to be behind us. This storm is not expected to put a substantial dent into the state’s water supply.
