A cold storm from the Gulf of Alaska merged with subtropical moisture to bring gusty winds, local road flooding, and heavy snow to the mountains. There were snowfall amounts of 1 to 2 feet above 6000 ft, with measurable snow down to as low as 3400 feet. This caused significant travel delays and accidents on mountain roads. Winds knocked down trees and tree branches causing power outages in the Valley and foothills.

Tornado. At approximately 1:17 pm an EF1 tornado developed near the town of Latrobe in El Dorado County, which is about four miles south of El Dorado Hills. The maximum wind speed of the tornado was estimated at 100 mph with a damage path of two miles. No injuries or fatalities have been reported. There was damage to the roof of one commercial building, a single power pole, a water tank, and to numerous trees.||Witness reports were crucial to the conclusion of the damage assessment as there was not a great deal of damage from which to distinguish between tornadic, downburst, or straight line winds. The conclusion of an EF1 designation was based primarily upon the damage caused to the oak trees in the damage path.
