Several inches of snow is expected in the Sierra.

North Bay Mountains 

I hope you have your umbrella with you. You'll need it between tonight - early tomorrow afternoon. Light rain is falling in the north bay. A cold front will move in late tonight & the rain will spread south & east. Rainfall is not looking great but it's better than nothing! The lower elevations will receive between a trace to .30" & the north bay mountains are expecting anywhere from a .50" to 1.5". The morning commute will include some damp spots as a few showers linger. Morning temperatures tomorrow will run mild, in the low to mid 50s and highs will make it to the 60s. Several inches of snow is expected in the Sierra.
Live Doppler7 HD has been picking up lightning strikes north of Clearlake this afternoon. There may be enough instability to trigger a thunderstorm or two so we'll keep in a slight chance for the north bay this evening.
We're getting lighting strikes near Chico. Small hail, heavy rain & gusty winds can be expected.

Heavy rain in Chico with the potential for small hail, gusty winds and lightning. Moving to the NE.

Band of showers and thunderstorms sweeping through the Chico/Paradise/Magalia area currently with potential small hail, gusty winds, and very heavy rainfall. This line will continue to drop south through the east side of the Sacramento valley into the adjacent foothills and mountains through the afternoon, but it's uncertain if it will produce more thunderstorms.

Another band or two will swing through this evening with more showers and thunderstorms.
Some scattered light showers right now around the Bay Area. More organized #rain later this evening

A cold front is moving into the N bay now. Moderate rain is showing up on Live Doppler7 HD at Bodega Bay & Healdsburg. That narrow band of rain will shift south & east overnight across the rest of the Bay Area while you're sleeping. An isolated shower may linger into the start of the rush hour tomorrow morning but that's about it. Give yourself a little more time to get the kids off to school or yourself to work since there will be some slick roads.

Another band of thunderstorms pushing into the Chico area currently. This band may contain some hail up to .5" in diameter, along with gusty winds and very heavy rain. The foothills to the east of Chico will also get in on this action over the next 30 - 45 minutes.

Looks like a good light show in Butte County.
