Good morning. Here’s what you need to know today:

Another day of sun before clouds: The sun will be shining and the breezes blowing in Sacramento on Thursday before a small storm system moves into Northern California. The weather system that is expected arrive on Friday should be just enough to dampen the ground in the valley and bring some much-needed snowfall to the Sierra. The high Thursday in Sacramento is expected to be around 70 degrees, with gusts to 23 mph.

Infant found: A search for a 3-week-old baby in a Yolo County slough on Wednesday ended with the discovery of the lifeless body of the infant by a sheriff’s patrol unit in a boat. Yolo County deputies said that the body of little Justice Rees was discovered at 9:50 a.m. after many hours of searching. Deputies were being forced to cut through brush to get to the body of the infant.

Internment camp tales told: Each year, thousands of students pile out of buses pull to the front of the museum at 1020 O St. to take part in the “Time of Remembrance Field Trip Program" which includes the “Uprooted! Japanese Americans During WWII” exhibit at the California Museum in Sacramento
