There's a 35% chance that Sacramento will get at least .1 inches and a 45% chance in Grass Valley. The best chance for rain is overnight into Sunday, NWS said.

2. The long-anticipated Costco project in Loomis is now under the microscope again after a court ruling. Contention and controversy for the project began early on when the city of Rocklin was not welcoming of the neighboring project due to traffic, environmental and zoning concerns. After a long court battle a Placer County Superior Court Judge recently determined the town of Loomis had not violated any environmental or traffic ordinances., however, the Court also found that Loomis had failed to rezone certain parcels of the project that violated the town's own zoning code. Acknowledging that there is more work to be done, Loomis Town Manager Sean Rabe said "Make no mistake — this ruling is a win for Loomis and a win for Costco." (KCRA3)
