Clouds and eventually rain are expected to push in on Friday, sending September out with a bang. The bulk of the precipitation is forecast to arrive in the evening and overnight hours into Saturday, and the totals look more promising than what Monday brought. Current models range from 0.25-0.75” for places like Redding and Chico, with 0.5-1” in the mountains and foothills, especially across the east. Also, unlike Monday’s atmospheric river, this is a cooler storm system and thus will bring some light snow accumulations to both Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak. Showers will taper north to south on Saturday, with places like Butte County potentially getting rain into the afternoon. After the showery end to September, temperatures will once again climb into the first week of October. Highs will get close to normal by Tuesday and even get into the 90s for some spots as a ridge of high pressure dominates our pattern. With that in mind, stay warm to end September and gear up for a summery start to October!
