After a quiet end to February, March has brought a change of pace with rain and snow in the first few days -- and more in the forecast through the next two weeks. Monday brought a brief break in the storm activity as another storm system aims for Northern California on Wednesday.

Two weather systems will brush past Northern California over the next two days. Each will bring chances for rain and widespread snow. Wednesday and Thursday are both KCRA 3 weather Impact Days because of expected snowy roads in the mountains and persistent rain in the Foothills.

On Monday at 12:49 p.m. the NWS Sacramento CA issued a winter weather advisory valid from Wednesday 4 a.m. until Thursday 4 p.m. The advisory is for Western Plumas County/Lassen Park and West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada as well as Shasta County.
