Northern California forecast: Above average temperatures for Monday, when Delta breeze arrives
MINUTES BACK WITH TAMARA AND WHAT’S AHEAD FOR TODAY? WELL, TODAY TEMPERATURES COME DOWN SLIGHTLY. IT’S REALLY NOT GOING TO BE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE, BUT WE’RE STILL LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE ONE THING YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE ABOUT THE MORNING IS WE’RE FEELING JUST A LITTLE TRICKLE OF THE DELTA BREEZE. BUT IF YOU ARE WAKING UP AND JOINING US IN SOLANO COUNTY, GOOD MORNING, FAIRFIELD, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU FEEL THAT BREEZE COMING THROUGH. LIVE. LOOK, RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW CLEAR THE SKIES ARE HERE. OVER DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO, 53 DEGREES. YOU MAY JUST WANT A LONG SLEEVE LAYER TO GET BY, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WE’RE AT 55, KICKING OFF YOUR MONDAY MORNING IN STOCKTON. GOOD MORNING MODESTO, IS YOUR SIP IN THE COFFEE AROUND TURLOCK IN THE SERIES NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU’RE OUT THE DOOR TO 57 AND WE’RE AT 36 RIGHT NOW IN LAKE TAHOE. HERE’S THE VALLEY PLANNER FOR THE DAY AHEAD. WE’RE LOOKING AT LOWER 60S BY 9 A.M., MOVING UP CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES BY LUNCHTIME. AND GETTING CLOSE TO 90 TODAY. BUT I DO THINK WE WILL JUST BE ABOUT TWO DEGREES COOLER THAN WHAT WE WERE FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. THAT WE HAD WITH THOSE AFTERNOONS IN THE 90S. TODAY WE’RE TALKING UPPER 80S IN THE VALLEY. THAT BREEZE WILL RETURN BY TONIGHT AND THAT’S THE DELTA BREEZE, SO IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE TO USE. MAYBE THE AC DURING THE HEART OF THE WARMTH THIS AFTERNOON. BUT THEN BY, YOU KNOW, 8:00, 9:00 THIS EVENING, OPEN THE WINDOWS AND ENJOY THAT BREEZE TO COOL YOUR HOME. MID 70S BY LUNCHTIME IN THE FOOTHILLS, LOWER 80S AROUND 4 P.M. AND IN YOUR SIERRA PLANNER BRIGHT START TO YOUR DAY. CLOUDS INCREASING AND BUILDING UP BY LUNCHTIME AND AS KELLY WAS MENTIONING WITH YOUR SIERRA OUTLOOK, THERE’S A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. I DON’T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A LAKE WIDE EVENT, BUT THE CHANCES ARE GOING TO BE THERE, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS ALONG THE CREST AND THE EASTERN SLOPE. TODAY, DELTA BREEZE IS WHAT I’M TRACKING AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS, ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK. SIERRA THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE. WE’RE GOING TO KIND OF SEE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS DAY BY DAY, AND THEN TEMPERATURES BY THE WEEKEND WILL BE GRADUALLY COOLER. LOOKING AHEAD OF FUTURECAST, WE’RE EXPECTING TO HAVE AGAIN THAT CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AND ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. AS WE GET INTO THE DAYTIME ON TUESDAY AND THEN HERE COMES THAT CHANCE ONCE AGAIN FOR THOSE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE WE GET INTO THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEK, ESPECIALLY LOOKING AHEAD TO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, I DO EXPECT WE WILL SEE MORE MARINE LAYER RETURN TO THE COAST AND MORE OF AN ONSHORE BREEZE COME THROUGH THAT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE COOLING GETTING INTO THE WEEKEND. SO WE’RE GOING INTO THE UPPER 80S TODAY. LOWER 90S CRUISING THROUGH TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND THEN THE WEEKEND. GUYS, CHECK OUT THOSE NUMBERS 82 TO 85. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SO NOT AS WARM AS THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS. ALL
