Scattered showers, cold air and near-winter temperatures rolled in to some parts of northern California, an unusually cold spring storm that forecasters say will drop snow on barren mountains but will do little to help fix the drought.
Forecasters say 6-12in of snow could hit about 4,000 feet, with 1-2ft on the higher peaks. The National Weather Service in Sacramento has issued a winter storm warning above 3,500ft for heavy snow, which is in effect to 6pm Tuesday.
The storm was expected to spread moderate rain down the Central Coast to the Los Angeles basin by Tuesday afternoon. Snow levels will be at 4,500 feet late that night, forecasters said. Skies will clear out Wednesday.
Dry and mild weather is expected to be back in the Bay Area and the mountains by Wednesday afternoon.
