The first few days of 2025 will remain dry for many before another storm system arrives by Friday.
A weak storm system is bringing more rain to Northern California's North Coast and northern Sacramento Valley on New Year's Day, while Sacramento starts 2025 mainly dry.
Some in and around Sacramento may get a few showers through the early evening. Yet, amounts will be less than a tenth of an inch.
Many will drop back into the 30s by early Thursday before highs climb back to the 50s by the afternoon.
When is the next time it will rain in Northern California?
In the valley, rain chances start Friday morning. Between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. rain becomes more widespread as it moves further south.
Snow will impact drivers over mountain passes from the afternoon through the early evening. Expect travel delays, chain controls, and slick conditions.
Light showers linger across the foothills and Sierra through early Saturday but will stay light.
Rain and snow totals will be on the lower side with this incoming storm as it does not stick around for long.
In the foothills and Sierra, amounts will also be higher the further north you are of I-80. However, most can expect 0.25'' to two inches of precipitation by Saturday morning.
Many spots above 6,000 feet can expect three to six inches of snow by Sunday, with up to eight inches for Sierra peaks.
