Storm Brings Rain To Northern California

SACRAMENTO (AP/CBS13) -- A new storm system has arrived in Northern California, bringing with it widespread rain and high-elevation snow on Monday, the National Weather Service said.

Winter weather advisories were set to take effect in the late afternoon and last into early Tuesday.

Mountain travelers were warned to expect chain controls and delays.

About .5-1" of rain is expected in Sacramento, with 1-2" in the foothills.

Snow levels are expected to be around the 6000-7000' mark over the Sierra.

The storm system was expected to reach down to the Central Coast, with rain chances tapering off farther south.
