00:00A month's worth of rain, severe thunderstorms, and feet of snow with gusty winds this weekend.
00:08California is getting a double dose of trouble as two late season storms charge across the state.
00:14The bad news, travel delays.
00:16The good news is much needed precipitation to boost the state's water supply.
00:22First storm pushing into the area today.
00:25Already some showers, thunderstorms around, but this system is going to weaken Friday night into Saturday.
00:31But up the road, look at that spin, that upper loan, the Gulf of Alaska, that is actually going to
00:37strengthen and come across the Golden State.
00:40When? Saturday into Sunday, a much stronger storm with more rain, more thunderstorms, and snow levels actually falling down to
00:50about 4,500 feet in the Sierra.
00:53Let's talk about the rain.
00:54Rain. This doesn't look like a whole lot of rain, does it?
00:57A couple of inches of rain with 2 to 4 inches into the foothills and the mountains.
01:01Some spots will receive 6 inches, but when you compare this to what we normally see in April, this is
01:08easily a month's worth of rain.
01:11San Francisco averaging about 1.36 during the month of April.
01:14Los Angeles well under an inch.
01:17Let's talk about the snow.
01:18We're looking at feet of snow.
01:20In fact, about 1 to 3 feet of snow will fall between 6,000 and 8,000 feet.
01:27But above 8,000 feet, those totals are 3 to 5 feet.
01:31Much needed snow for the Sierra running well below historical averages.
