We can expect a chance of showers mainly after 10 a.m. on Sunday. The county can see total rainfall around 0.1 to 0.25 inches, NBC 7’s Sheena Parveen said.

A weak storm system will bring mostly light-moderate rain/snow Sun AM through Mon AM. Isolated, brief heavier showers may bump up some totals locally, mainly nearest the coast where there will be a slight chance of t-storms. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/TzFWdRsiIp
