Cory Mueller, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service said that a trough of low pressure from the Northwest will settle over the valley on Monday, resulting in a storm system that will drop inches of rain and snow.
At around 5 a.m. rain will start in the Sacramento area and continue throughout the day, with temperatures staying in the mid 50’s.
It is expected that wind gusts will pick up on Monday evening and will get as high as 35 miles per hour. The rainfall will be between 1 and 2 inches.
Mueller added that commuters’ routes will turn slow in the morning and evening because of the rain.
