SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Afternoon thunderstorms packed with hail and snow are moving through Northern California, pelting people with grape-size hail and dusting the Sierra Nevada with light snow.

The thunderstorms began moving into Northern California Wednesday afternoon.

The National Weather Service says showers could linger in the mountains and foothills until the evening, when the cold front passing through the area will start dissipating.

A water spout was spotted Wednesday afternoon over Lake Berryessa in Napa County.

Sacramento television station KCRA reported that in the city of Oakdale, heavy hail caused several carports in a mobile home community to cave.
