Part 3/6:
The onset of holiday storms starts Saturday around mid-morning, with light rain expected. It's anticipated that these showers will be brief, primarily affecting the valley before tapering off by early afternoon. Travelers venturing to the Sierra may encounter snow at higher elevations, above 6,700 feet, but the overall impact is expected to be minimal.
Planning your Saturday carefully can mitigate inconveniences with wet roads. Departing early in the morning or later in the evening will allow you to bypass most of the rain.
