First In Series Of California Storms Brings Spring Showers

California is getting a dose of spring showers as the first in a series of storms moves ashore. Drivers experienced a wet morning commute Tuesday in the San Francisco Bay Area, where several inches of rain is expected before the week’s out. The system will push snow levels down to 5,000 feet and add to the already stuffed snowpack in the Sierra Nevada. A band of heavy rain soaked the Central Coast overnight before moving into Southern California with winds gusting more than 40 mph.
