Monday Top of the Scroll: First rains of year didn’t bring much to Northern California — but another storm is coming

The precipitation, the first for the rain year that began Oct. 1, measured .15 inches in downtown Sacramento, according to the National Weather Service. That puts the city at 8 percent of normal for rainfall this year, according to weather service records… A new storm system is coming on Tuesday night, with showers continuing on into Thursday, forecasters said.
