Storm Expected To Bring Significant Rainfall, Snow

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A system camped out in the pacific is expected to bring our region significant amounts of rain by the time it moves out on Tuesday. We'll see upwards of 1/4 inch to 1 inch in the valley, and 1 to 4 inches in the foothills; and 1 foot to 1 ½ feet of snow in the Sierra.

A winter storm warning is in effect along the western slope of the Sierra until 10 a.m. Tuesday.

We'll get a break from wet weather on Wednesday, and once again get another big storm on Christmas Eve.

There will be a few clouds, but not too much rain on Christmas.

Keep the chains handy. We'll see some major travel delays.
