Another cold morning has dawned with temperatures dipping again below freezing.
The low at Sacramento's Executive Airport was 31 degrees at 6 a.m. The string of below freezing mornings are expected to end today with the approach of clouds overnight.
The cloudy conditions are associated with a weak weather system that could bring light rain Saturday night and Sunday to the Sacramento region, according to the National Weather Service.
Travel could also be difficult in the Sierra Nevada where perhaps four inches of snow could accumulate. Snow levels are expected to be down to the 3,000-to-4,000 elevation.

Today: Patchy fog before 10am. Patchy frost before 10am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 55. Calm wind.

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.
