Wednesday was a pretty nice day... but a couple of pretty big storms are headed our way.

Showers from storm #1 will arrive Thursday afternoon.  This storm has a decent tap into subtropical moisture, so it's got plenty of rain.  The heart of the storm arrives Thursday night, with moderate to heavy rain overnight.  As low pressure approaches the coast, the southerly wind will pick up, gusting to 35 mph.  The rain and wind will diminish quickly Friday... but Friday night will see the arrival of storm #2!  Not quite as wet and definitely less windy, it will still keep the rain going through Saturday.  For the Thursday night through Saturday period, I'm expecting 1" to 3" of rain in the Valley.  Snow levels will be around 3500' in the Siskiyous, Cascades, and Trinity Alps... closer to 4000' in the Sierra.  Expect 1' to 3' of snow in the higher elevations (above 5000')!

By Sunday, we're looking at a bit of sunshine, which will continue through much of next week.

But the next few days are looking very wet!
