Wet Weather Coming Back, Low Snow Expected Over Weekend
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Snow below the 2000' mark is expected over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Cold temperatures have been sending a chill over Northern California after a series of storms rolled through earlier in the week. Friday again saw a chilly start, with many Valley areas dipping below 40 degrees just before dawn.

As clouds roll in later on Friday, the foothills and mountains will see a slight chance of showers.
Come Saturday through Monday, Northern California will see scattered light showers. A few inches of snow is expected in the mountains.
NWS forecasters say the snow level could be between 1500-2500' mark. Of course, forecasters say not to expect heavy accumulation of snow at that level. However, traffic could be severely affected.
