Northern California Prepares For Monster Storm

The wind and rain expected to sweep through Northern California later this week could be the heaviest to hit the Sacramento region in six years, National Weather Service forecasters warned Monday. “We are expecting some significant impacts to this storm; that is the big message we are trying to get out,” said meteorologist Bill Rasch.
Storm trackers say winds will come first, likely Wednesday night, with gusts in the Valley hitting 60 miles an hour.
“It will be a pretty loud night Wednesday,” Rasch said. The Thursday morning commute, at this point, appears likely to be the trickiest, with high winds and heavy rains hitting simultaneously.
