Northern California forecast: Clouds increase Friday, temps stay mild

LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE ZERO WEATHER PROBLEMS. LET’S CHECK IN WITH HEATHER TO SEE WHEN MAYBE SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE COMING. YEAH, NEXT WEEK IS CERTAINLY GOING TO FEEL A LOT COOLER, BUT GALSTON, YOU GOT ME THINKING. IF ANYBODY IS FINDING A PROBLEM WITH THE WEATHER, THIS WEEK, WELL, YOU’RE JUST TOO HARD TO PLEASE. TEMPERATURES OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS CLOSE TO 50 DEGREES EVERY MORNING. CLOSE TO 80 EVERY AFTERNOON IN MOST CASES, LIGHT WINDS AND A LOT OF SUNSHINE. NEXT WEEK IS GOING TO FEEL QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT. WE’LL GET INTO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S RIGHT NOW. LOW 70S IN AUBURN AND PLACERVILLE STILL IN THE UPPER 50S IN TRUCKEE AND TAHOE. A LITTLE BIT OF A COOLER START THERE WITH A BREEZE OVERNIGHT. KIND OF KEPT THE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT FLAT, BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT THE WIND THAT WE DO HAVE. IT’S LIGHTER NOW COMPARED TO EARLIER THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY, BUT WE DO STILL HAVE THAT NORTH FLOW KEEPING TEMPERATURES DOWN JUST A COUPLE DEGREES FROM WHERE THEY WERE YESTERDAY AND SAY SACRAMENTO UP INTO MARYSVILLE. SATELLITE PICTURE THOUGH. YEAH, CLEAR AS CAN BE. JUST A FEW VERY FAINT HIGH CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE VALLEY. BUT HOW ABOUT A LITTLE TRIP BACK IN TIME? THIS IS WHAT THE SATELLITE LOOKED LIKE THREE YEARS AGO TODAY. AND REMEMBER THIS STORM, INCREDIBLY INTENSE STORM OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. LOTS OF RAIN COMING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, A GOOD AMOUNT OF EARLY SEASON SNOW TOO. THESE WERE SOME OF THE NUMBERS FROM SUNDAY. THE 24TH INTO MONDAY. THE 25TH. CLOSE TO SIX INCHES OF RAIN IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO. WE SET A DAILY RECORD FOR RAINFALL WITH CLOSE TO 5.5IN OF RAIN THAT SUNDAY. WE DON’T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT COMING NEXT WEEK, BUT IT WILL START TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE UNSETTLED THAT STARTS WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER. FRIDAY WE’LL SEE SOME AFTERNOON SUNSHINE. OVERALL, A GREAT DAY TO BE OUTSIDE. SATURDAY WILL BE TOO. AND HONESTLY, IF YOU GOT PLANS OUTDOORS ON SUNDAY, KEEP THEM. THERE MAY BE A FEW SPRINKLES THAT START TO MOVE INTO THE VALLEY IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT OTHERWISE, YEAH, JUST COOL AND KIND OF UNSETTLED. FROM MONDAY ONWARD NEXT WEEK. BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE NEXT FEW DAYS HERE OVERNIGHT. THE SKY IS CLEAR BY TOMORROW MORNING WE SEE SOME OF THOSE WIDESPREAD CLOUDS. BY MID-AFTERNOON SACRAMENTO SHOULD SEE SUNSHINE. STOCKTON MODESTO WILL SEE A COUPLE OF HOURS OF BLUE SKY TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY. FRIDAY NIGHT THE SKY IS CLEAR. SATURDAY IT’S ANOTHER DAY WITH JUST KIND OF A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN. STILL A MILD DAY IN THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S. HERE’S SUNDAY AT 9 A.M. THIS IS WHEN THE CLOUDS INCREASE AND WE’LL BE WATCHING FOR SHOWER CHANCES AT THE COAST. ANYTHING THAT REACHES THE VALLEY, IT’S JUST BARELY GOING TO BE ENOUGH RAIN TO WET THE PAVEMENT. SO NOT TOO DISRUPTIVE THERE. HERE’S HOW FRIDAY IS LOOKING MOSTLY CLOUDY IN THE SIERRA. TEMPERATURES STARTING IN THE UPPER 20S AROUND TAHOE AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE FOOTHILLS, LOW TO MID 50S IN THE MORNING. MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 70S AT THE COAST. CLOUDS TO START FOR EVERYBODY. IT’S NOT JUST THE MARINE LAYER. WE’LL SEE SOME AFTERNOON SUN WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. AGAIN A CLOUDY MORNING, A BRIGHTER AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AND SACRAMENTO VALLEY. WE’LL SEE CLEARING FIRST TO THE NORTH AND THEN TO THE SOUTH. DOWNTOWN SHOULD STILL BE CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. THERE YOU SEE THAT STRETCH OF 60S STARTING ON MONDAY SUNDAY SHOWER CHANCES PRETTY MEAGER MONDAY THEY’LL BE VERY ISOLATED IN THE VALLEY. IT WILL BE A LITTLE SOGGIER IN THE FOOTHILLS. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A FEW WEEKS MAKES.
