The one-two punch of the past 24 hours into today is reaching a climax now with heavy rain moving into northern California, and it's bringing the first really heavy snow of the season to the Sierra. However, it will fade pretty quickly tonight as this upper-level trough moves inland. Why? The next storm will be knocking on the door of the Northwest by tomorrow, spreading more heavy rain and mountain snow inland during the afternoon and at night.
This system will taper to showers Sunday, only in time for still another storm to take aim at the region Sunday night and Monday. While the core of that storm is more aimed at British Columbia, it will nevertheless rain in much of Washington and western Oregon, with little for California.

Weekend forecast: No break from Northwest's storms
By Doyle Rice, USA TODAY
The assault of storms continues this weekend in the Pacific Northwest, as another powerful system is forecast to slam ashore with heavy rain and snow late Saturday and into Sunday. Most of the rest of the nation should enjoy a mild weekend, as the intensely cold air remains bottled up in Canada and Alaska. Nuisance rain will dampen the South today and Sunday.
Nasty Northwest: The remnants of the storm that hammered the Northwest on Friday will move into the northern Rockies Saturday, bringing heavy snow and strong winds to the region.
Yet another powerful storm will roar into the Northwest Saturday night, spreading a new round of rain and snow across Washington, Oregon and Northern California"
Heavy rain is likely at lower elevations, while heavy snow will fall across the Cascades and Sierra Saturday night and Sunday and into the northern Rockies on Sunday. More than a foot of snow is likely at the highest elevations.
Soggy South: A rainstorm will slog across parts of the South Saturday and into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic on Sunday. No heavy volume or flooding is forecast.
Saturday, as low pressure moves into the northern Gulf Coast, rain will spread up the lower Mississippi Valley and into the Southeast. The heaviest rain is likely in southern Louisiana and Alabama. By Sunday, most of the rain will spread into Georgia, the Carolinas and the Mid-Atlantic.
Holiday outlook: There are no severe thunderstorms predicted anywhere in the USA over the weekend. Also, the tropics remain quiet as the official end of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches on Nov. 30.
