The strongest winds are expected to be overnight into Saturday morning, in fact, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills from 7pm Friday until 10am Saturday. But, according to the National Weather Service, it too soon to predict just how “high-impact” the storm will be.
“The snow could be heavy at times”, the report said. A full moon combined with the high winds could push Saturday night’s high tide 2 to 3 feet above normal, Mr. Stark said.
“Wind chill values between 10 and 15”, the report said. Snow and sleet accumulations were expected to be a half inch or less.
A 20 percent chance of snow remains into Saturday morning with a forecasted high of 34 degrees. The chance of precipitation before 7 a.m.is 30%.
The Ozarks should get a break on Sunday, with sunny skies and a high of 48 in the forecast.
