NORTHSTATE, California — Mild weather is expected for the rest of the weekend and the start of the work week following the brief but heavy thunderstorms that the northern part of the state experienced Saturday night.
Thunderstorms intensified Saturday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and strong winds across the region. Gusty winds even tore down large tree limbs in some areas and produced fairly large hail.
