Good news and bad news is coming this way.The National Weather Service is calling for rain for five of the next six days including heavy rain and snow Friday as well as Saturday. The rain is expected to pause on Thursday.Today’s forecast in the Northern San Joaquin Valley calls for winds from 30 to 35 mph as well as the possibility of afternoon thundershowers and hail. There is even the possibility of small tornadoes developing in the Northern Sacramento Valley.That means the South San Joaquin Irrigation District will likely be able to postpone the start of the irrigation to next week virtually guaranteeing adequate water for crops and cities as well as a healthy reservoir carryover for 2018 in case this year’s drenching and near record snowpack is a one shot wonder.
