moisture plume 1.5-2.0 inch preciptable water is passing over
northern California. Rainfall amounts generally from 1-2 inches
for the valleys through Thursday. The biggest impact with this
system will valley winds gusts to 50 mph which may cause downed

down to 3000 feet in heavy precip bands. Small streams will begin
to rise overnight with minor flooding possible. Valley rain will
become more showery after midnight with a brief break possible
Thursday morning.

Showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop by late morning
Thursday and continue through the evening. A few strong storms may
be possible with some storm organization as a favorable shear
profile develops.

The next storm system will swing through NorCal Friday morning
into early Saturday with Valley rainfall of 1 to 2 inches and
mountain snow of 1 to 2 feet and snow levels 3000-4000 feet.
Another round of gusty winds with speeds to 40 mph will also be
possible.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Sunday THROUGH Wednesday)

Precipitation spreads across the entire forecast area Saturday
