Second Northern California storm of week to bring heavy rain, snowfall and gusty winds ...Middle East

This storm is tapping into an atmospheric river, a narrow plume of subtropical moisture to deliver heavy rain and snowfall at times. 

The gusty winds and heavy rainfall will then make their way into the Sierra, turning to snow. This will create difficult to impossible travel conditions above 5,000 feet. 

A High Wind Warning is in effect in the Bay Area until 7 a.m. Saturday. Some North Bay counties are in a Flood Watch until 4 p.m. Sunday and the Sacramento Valley is in a Wind Advisory until noon Saturday. 

Power outages are possible. On Friday evening, more than 15,500 Sacramento Municipal Utility District customers lost power near the Sacramento Executive Airport. SMUD anticipated power to be restored around 6:30 p.m.

Caltrans held westbound I-80 in Truckee due to multiple spinouts despite chain controls from Truckee to Baxter. Eastbound was still open but with chain controls from Cisco to Truckee. 

The remainder of the weekend stays mainly dry before we're eyeing another quick storm system by Monday. 

Storm totals

We could see some spots in the Northern Sacramento Valley reach 1-2 inches of rain, whereas closer to Downtown Sacramento up to 1.5 inches of rain is expected. The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab reported 12.2 inches of snow since Wednesday, and nearly 9.5 inches of snow since Thursday morning.

Next week's storm chances 

One more storm system looks to slide in as we start next week. Early models show this moving in as early as Monday morning, producing more scattered rain showers and more snow across the Sierra through Monday night. 

After Monday, our pattern dries out again through mid-week, but another storm or two could be possible toward the following weekend.  

Monday's storm timing and amounts are expected to change over the next few days so make sure to stay with the CBS Sacramento First Alert Weather team as we iron out the details.
