Storm Alert! Heavy Rain & Snow to Hit California Next Week!

Race Day Live California is enjoying a brief break from the rain, but another storm is on the way. This weekend will bring calm and sunny weather, but by the middle of next week, a new storm system is expected to bring heavy rain and snow across the state.

While the Bay Area will see significant rainfall, Southern California may experience even heavier precipitation.

Starting Friday, high pressure will bring stable weather over California, leading to sunny days and cold mornings.

Daytime temperatures in the Bay Area will stay in the 50s, while interior areas could see temperatures drop into the 20s and 30s at night.

By Wednesday, a storm will develop over the Pacific and move toward California. Forecast models suggest widespread rain and snowfall, but the exact intensity remains uncertain.

Unlike previous storms, this system will also impact Southern California, where some areas could receive up to 3 inches of rain. This could lead to dangerous conditions, especially in burn scar regions.

The incoming storm will also bring much colder air. Snowfall is expected at much lower elevations, possibly as low as 2,000 to 3,000 feet, meaning areas like Sonoma and Napa counties could see snowfall. The Sierra Nevada could receive several feet of snow.

Although the storm’s exact path is still uncertain, it is expected to tap into Pacific moisture and spread rain and snow across much of California.
