Northern California forecast: Dry and warm few days, changes for weekend could be coming

[ad_1]

PERMANENT REPAIRS A BIG PROJECT. LET’S GET A CHECK ON THE FORECAST RIGHT NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST HEATHER WALDMAN ON THIS MONDAY EVENING. AND WE JUST HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY. HEATHER. YEAH, WE’VE GOT A FEW MORE OF THEM COMING UP TOO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. GOING TO GET A LITTLE BREEZY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, BUT OVERALL DRY AND NICE AND WARM. THAT WILL TAKE US ALL THE WAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE BREEZE YOU’LL NOTICE THAT PICKING UP TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NOT TOO TERRIBLY STRONG FOR MOST PLACES, IT WILL REALLY BE FOCUSED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY. THAT’S WHERE WE’LL GET THE STRONGEST GUSTS. BUT WE’VE GOT SOME BIG CHANGES TO TALK ABOUT FOR THIS WEEKEND AND POTENTIALLY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE’LL DIG MORE INTO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT FOR THOSE HEADED OUT THE DOOR EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, THERE WILL BE A FEW SPOTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE VALLEY THAT START OFF IN THE UPPER 40S, BUT ONCE THE SUN COMES UP, WE’RE GOING TO PERFECTLY BLUE SKY SO THAT SUN IS GOING TO MAKE QUICK WORK AND BRING THE TEMPERATURES UP PRETTY CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES IN A LOT OF VALLEY SPOTS. I THINK DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO SHOULD GET TO 80 DEGREES TOMORROW. FAIRFIELD LIKELY IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AS WELL, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THAT OFFSHORE NORTHERLY BREEZE CONTINUING SATELLITE PICTURE. I POINTED THIS OUT A FEW MINUTES AGO. IT’S NICE AND QUIET, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME ACTIVITY BUILDING OFF TO THE WEST NOW. FOR THE TIME BEING, THESE LITTLE SYSTEMS ARE GOING TO PASS BY OFF TO OUR NORTH, BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY, ONE OF THESE LITTLE SYSTEMS IS GOING TO TRY TO DROP ITS WAY TO THE SOUTH. SO I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE HERE. AGAIN, HERE’S THESE LITTLE SYSTEMS PASSING BY. ALL THEY’RE GOING TO DO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS KIND OF KEEP THIS NORTHWESTERLY FLOW GOING. SO WE’LL KEEP THAT LIGHT NORTH BREEZE AGAIN. IT WILL INTENSIFY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. IT SHOULD DROP BACK DOWN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. HERE WE ARE ON FRIDAY A LITTLE BIT OF AN ONSHORE BREEZE WILL START TO DEVELOP, BUT IT’S STILL GOING TO BE A NICE MILD DAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S IN THE VALLEY. THIS IS WHAT THIS MODEL IS NOW SHOWING FOR SATURDAY, AND IT’S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THIS OVER THE LAST 24 TO 36 HOURS OR SO. A CHANCE FOR AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR RAIN FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. GETTING INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON SATURDAY, AND THEN SOME LINGERING SHOWERS FOR SUNDAY AND THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE COLD ENOUGH THAT WE DO INCLUDE THE CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW IN THE SIERRA AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SLOWER TRAVEL, POTENTIALLY CHAIN CONTROLS AS WELL. THAT WOULD BE SATURDAY INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE MAYBE MAKING THEIR PLANS TO HEAD UP TO THE TAHOE AREA THIS WEEKEND, KEEP THIS IN MIND. NOW WE’RE STILL FIVE DAYS OUT. THIS IS FAR FROM A LOCK, BUT GOING FROM 60 DEGREES TO THE UPPER 40S AND THEN EVENTUALLY TO THE 30S ON SUNDAY, THAT’S GOING TO BE A BIG CHANGE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, CERTAINLY COMPARED TO WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH IN THE VALLEY RIGHT NOW. FOR THE FOOTHILLS, A FEW DAYS OF NICE SUNNY WEATHER WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID MID 70S IN THE AFTERNOON. SATURDAY IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A WETTER DAY FOR THE FOOTHILLS, AND SUNDAY MORE OF A SHOWERY DAY AND FOR THE VALLEY. YOU SEE IT HERE, THE BREEZE PICKING UP SOME TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, BUT OVERALL REALLY NICE WORKWEEK. IT’S SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AND WE’RE THINKING NOW WE’RE KIND OF LEANING TOWARDS SATURDAY BEING THE WETTER OF THE TWO WEEKEND DAYS, SUNDAY A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT YEAH, ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS WHERE THE TEMPERATURES JUST KIND OF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND GOT TO WATCH THE PLANNING FOR THE WINDOW
