A cold front going through dry spell stricken California carried snow toward the northern Sierra Nevada and downpour, showers or sprinkle somewhere else, the National Weather Service said Monday.
The Sierra snowfall was sufficiently huge to affect travel over the higher passes, the weather service said.
Quantifiable precipitation — 0.01 inch (0.03 centimeter) — Sunday evening in midtown Sacramento finished 212 back to back days of no downpour at that area, the weather service said.
The low tension framework that created the precipitation was moving rapidly toward the Great Basin.
The following round of rain in Northern California is relied upon to show up Tuesday evening, trailed by a “parade of rain possibilities” in the mid-to long haul conjecture, the San Francisco Bay Area climate office said.
