"SACRAMENTO
-- The five tornadoes that touched down across Northern California this
week tied a single-day record dating to 1996, the National Weather
Service said Tuesday.
Thunderstorms were expected again Tuesday
and Wednesday as part of the first series of storms of the season, but
they were not expected to produce the same dangerous turbulence. "Knock on wood, we don't expect them to be as severe," said Jim Mathews, lead forecaster at the National Weather Service office in Sacramento.
The worst of the weather was on Monday, he said. There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the Central Valley through Wednesday before things dry out Thursday. A winter weather advisory was in effect for Tuesday night in the Sierra Nevada, with up to seven more inches of snow expected. Snow showers on Wednesday might add another two inches."
