Winter Returning To Suisun

Winter is about to make a comeback.

 The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement Friday for the Suisun-Fairfield area, warning that rain and wind are on their way early Monday through Wednesday.

“It is too early to forecast exactly how much rain and snow will fall , but initial estimates show 1 to 2 inches of rain in the valley and 4 to 6 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation in the mountains,” the statement said.

The NWS said a series of low pressure systems may spread valley rain and mountain snow across the region beginning Monday. This is combined with gusty southerly winds in the valleys and southwest winds in the mountains.

The NWS expects the snow level to be at 5000 feet, with travel across the Sierra Nevada range to be impacted.

The temperature forecast for the early week shows that after the weekend sun with temperatures in the 60s, it will cool down Monday into the 50s, with a high Monday at 56 degrees and a high Tuesday near 56 degrees, dropping to 55 degrees on Wednesday.
