a major winter storm is under way and forecasters warn it will be cold and wet into next week.
The storm that blew in Friday is expected to keep dumping rain on coastal cities and snow on the mountains this weekend before heading south early next week. However, it won't dry out in Northern California. National Weather Service Forecaster Bob Benjamin said next week's rains, though weaker than the current storm, will keep the Bay Area soggy through Christmas.
Temperatures will hover between the mid-40s and 50s this weekend, he said, with some areas only seeing a 4- to 5-degree difference between nighttime lows and daytime highs. Snow levels will stay above 7,000 feet in the Lake Tahoe area, though they will drop to as low as 3,500 feet farther north, such as in Shasta County.
