**Sacramento, CA** – Cloudy skies and cool temperatures will continue to dominate Northern California today, with a few scattered showers expected in the Central Valley. However, the Sierra is anticipating more significant rain, potentially even accompanied by thunderstorms this afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, a second low-pressure system is moving through the region, bringing the increased precipitation to the Sierra. While the Central Valley will experience light, intermittent showers throughout the day, the Sierra is expected to see heavier rain showers continuing into the evening and even into Thursday.
Despite the wet weather, a high-pressure system is expected to return on Friday, ushering in warmer temperatures. The first day of autumn, Sunday, is predicted to see highs in the upper 90s, with Sacramento potentially reaching triple digits next week.
