From the California Weather Blog:
A fairly deep trough (for this time of year) is currently approaching California from the northwest. A deep surface low tied to this trough is producing heavy precipitation and powerful winds over the open ocean, but is expected to weaken considerably and move well to the north of California before making landfall. The trailing front will nonetheless be quite moist, and may be capable of producing substantial, soaking precipitation of up to 1-2 inches along the North Coast. Because the front will be weakening rapidly as it moves southeastward across the state, however, precipitation totals elsewhere will be drastically less than on the North Coast, tapering quickly to around a tenth of an inch along the I-80 corridor (including Sacramento and San Francisco). Thus…while most of the major population centers in NorCal will probably see some raindrops out of this, significant precipitation away from the North Coast is unlikely. … “
