"Cooler showers and hail are also forecast, with snowfall possible at higher elevations like Mount Diablo. Residents are advised to set aside extra time for travel and to avoid driving around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Airport travel could also be impacted, with a weather warning in effect until 8 p.m. Tuesday evening for San Francisco International Airport, where cloud to ground lightning is possible along with wind gusts up to 40 mph."
"Monday's rain is part of a continuing powerful winter storm carrying treacherous thunderstorms, high winds and heavy snow in mountain areas. Forecasters said the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, northern Shasta County including portions of Interstate 5 and parts of the state's Coast Range could see up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) of snow before the storm moves through late Wednesday. The heavy snow, wind and low visibility could also make travel conditions dangerous to near impossible, forecasters added."
