The first wave of rain, snow and wind has moved over California, but many more chances for rain, snow and gusty wind are in our short term and long term forecast. After a relatively quiet evening, we can expect more rain and snow starting early Thursday morning. More pushes of rain and mountain snow will approach northern California from the south overnight through midday Thursday, turning to more showery precipitation in the afternoon and evening. Although it will still be breezy, the wind won't be as strong as it has been. Lows tonight will range from the 20s and 30s in the mountains to the 30s and 40s in the valley and foothills. Highs on Thursday will range from the 30s in the mountains to the 40s and 50s in the valley.

We can expect plenty of clouds both Friday and Saturday. Rain and snow showers will still fall in the valley and the mountains, but it won't be as heavy or as long-lasting as it has been to that point. Through the day on Sunday and into Monday we will have the first of two more chances for rain and snow in northern California, followed by another good chance for rain and snow next Tuesday. The wind will also be stronger both Monday and Tuesday, but not quite as strong as it was late yesterday and today. An abrupt end to our wet and snowy weather will arrive next Wednesday with more sun and weaker wind. Highs will stay in the 30s and 40s in the mountains, with highs rising from the 40s back into the 50s in the valley.
