After several months of sunshine and heat, many areas in Northern California saw measurable rainfall Sunday and Monday. The steadiest rain fell in the foothills where places like Auburn and Placerville picked up more than half an inch in a 24-hour period. Several rounds of light rain also moved over the footprint of the Mosquito Fire, which continues to burn in Placer and El Dorado counties. Although with the rain, that burn is more like a smolder for the time being. Rain combined with a big drop in winds gives fire crews a big weather advantage as they work to gain containment. But that advantage won't last long.
