Wet Weather on Tap for the Region

Many Roseville residents are likely waking to rain-soaked streets and freshly cleaned cars as a result of some early-morning precipitation making its way through the region.

Expect that rain to linger in the area till at least Wednesday as it appears fall-like weather has finally made its way to Northern California. The National Weather Service has issued a temporary hazardous weather outlook for the interior Northern California area, which includes the Central Valley.

The California Highway Patrol is reporting a number of weather-related traffic accidents along most major freeways around the Roseville area, including Interstate 80 and Highway 65. No major injuries have been reported.

According to NOAA, a strong early season weather system will bring valley rain and mountain snow along with periods of gusty southerly winds. Possible thunderstorms could make their way through the area Monday evening as well.

The rain is expected to give way to cooler temperatures by Wednesday, though unsettled weather is expected. By Friday the forecast mellows, giving way to milder, drier weather by the end of the week.

Here's how the rest of the week looks:

Monday: Rain with a high near 59 and southerly winds around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. A chance of showers and thunderstorms at night, then showers likely after 11 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 49. South southeast wind 9 to 13 mph.
