The National Weather Service says Thursday will be blustery with wind and rain still present in the North Bay and Peninsula.
On Friday, meteorologists say there will be a "kicker," bringing another round of rain and snow.
Speaking of snow, drivers had a hard time navigating Interstate 80 near Tahoe on Wednesday night because of low visibility and slippery conditions.
"It's crazy," Travis Jackson said. "I didn't expect this out of California. I thought it was going to be sunny. I wasn't ready for it at all."
The California Highway Patrol is insisting that drivers must have snow chains, snow tires or four-wheel drive to drive through the mountain areas.
There will be a slight break in the rain on Saturday, with more rain ahead on Sunday.
