A Look Ahead
A cold front approaching Northern California and increasing moisture will allow for the development of widespread showers on Friday. These showers will allow for a risk of excessive rainfall leading to the potential for flooding and runoff. An upper level low will move across the Intermountain West on Saturday, allowing for snowfall across the region. Snowfall accumulations of 4-6 inches with locally higher amounts are currently expected.
