The wet season has arrived in NorCal. What to expect from skies over the next few days
As we swing into the cooler months of the year, get used to more days like Wednesday and Thursday, with scattered showers across California and cloudy skies. On Wednesday, an area of cooler low pressure — an extratropical cyclone — is spinning out off the coast of the Golden State. As it churns, it brings with it scattered rain showers moving out of the south Wednesday through Thursday across nearly the entire state. For Sacramento and Fresno, it will be the first good rain — not a trace amount — since late spring. Because of how the cyclone is maturing off the coast, many of these showers will stack up and “train” across thin bands, leaving some cities and towns with little rain and others with substantial amounts. Earlier Wednesday, a string of showers and thunderstorms dropped upwards of half an inch of rain between Clovis and Sanger while Fresno remained mostly dry. Into Wednesday afternoon, Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley were seeing lighter, more widespread showers take hold for several hours at a time. Another half in to inch of rain are expected across the southern San Joaquin Valley, and especially the Sierra foothills, through Thursday. Slightly lower

Mt. Shasta Ski Park targets December opening as El Niño winter nears
The strong El Niño being forecast for far Northern California could bring a warmer and wetter season than usual this winter, just as Mt. Shasta Ski Park prepares to open around the holidays for what employees hope will be a busy time. "Everyone's talking about this super El Niño, and we're hopeful it delivers a big winter," ski park spokeswoman Grace Hornbeak said in a news release. "But we didn't want to count on it. Our crew put in a summer of hard work so we can open on less snow and keep runs open longer, whatever this winter brings." Crews cleared brush and cut tree stumps across its runs. The work means the runs will need less snow to open safely, giving skiers potentially more days on the slopes if early-season snow is light, Hornbeak said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's winter outlook, released on Oct. 15, shows more precipitation, but whether that means more snowfall and a fluffy, white blanket for skiers, is not yet known. But Hornbeak said the park is optimistic that the El Niño conditions will bring plenty of snow to the 2026-27 ski season. The ski park is targeting a mid-December opening. Lack
