Spring storm drops rain in parts of Northern California

(AP) — A spring storm dropped rain in parts of Northern California on Saturday afternoon, but it was less severe than the one a day earlier that dumped up to 13 inches of snow on a Sierra Nevada highway and hit the Sacramento area lightning, winds gusting to 40 mph and dime-sized hail.

The forecast called for more rain and mountain snow on Sunday and Monday due to unstable air as rising, sun-warmed currents hit a trough of cooler air.
