Stormy Weather Ahead for Northern California

Northern California is expected to experience rain, snow, and wind on Tuesday, with the biggest impact being heavy snowfall in the Sierra region. Rain in the valley won't cause flooding concerns, and wind won't be widely destructive. Heavy snowfall above 4,000 feet is expected to generate difficult travel conditions and possible road closures. Wind speeds will be in the 20 to 25 mph range, with gusts up to 40 mph. Rain will ease up Tuesday night while snowfall persists in the Sierra, with on-and-off showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for Wednesday.
