Sunny and seasonable stretch of weather continues for Thursday

FORECAST WITH TAMARA. WOW. I JUST. OKAY. WE’RE NOT TALKING WOODSTOCK, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IF YOU’RE GOING TO AN OUTDOOR VENUE, LET’S SAY THIS WEEKEND, THE TEMPERATURES HERE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. LOOKING IDEAL TO HEAD OUT TO YOUR FAVORITE AMPHITHEATER, CATCH A SHOW OR JUST YOU KNOW, THE CONCERTS IN THE PARKS, THINGS LIKE THAT. RIGHT NOW WE’VE GOT THE AIR QUALITY PULLED UP. AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS. THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE WE’VE SEEN ALL GREEN FROM THE SUMMIT OF THE SIERRA THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS AND DOWN TOWARDS THE COAST. THE AIR QUALITY REPORTED. GOOD. RIGHT NOW. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT FOR A WORKOUT, THIS IS A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW IN RANCHO CORDOVA. MAYBE YOU’RE GOING OUT TO THE AMERICAN RIVER TRAIL. WE’RE COMFORTABLY IN THE LOW 60S. LIGHT WINDS. WE’LL GET INTO THE UPPER 60S BY 8:00 MID-MORNING TEMPERATURES UPPER 70S. AND TODAY IN THE VALLEY FLOOR. WINDS WILL STAY LIGHT. WE’LL HAVE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE HITTING THE LOWER TO MID 90S TODAY IN THE FOOTHILLS. HERE’S A LOOK AS WE STARE DOWN COLFAX. BRIGHT AND EARLY FOR COMMUTERS THERE ALONG INTERSTATE 80. JUST SEEING THOSE HEADLIGHTS ON THE HIGHWAY. 68 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. WAKING UP IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE’LL BE LOOKING AT LOWER 80S BY MID-MORNING AND EVENTUALLY DAYTIME HIGHS PEAKING MID TO UPPER 80S RANGE WITH LIGHT WINDS NOW IN TAHOE. THE PLANNER FOR TODAY WILL INCLUDE SUNSHINE. THIS IS THE VIEW AS WE’RE AWAITING SUNRISE HERE AT DONNER SUMMIT. IT’S CHILLY 39 DEGREES REPORTED AT TRUCKEE AIRPORT CURRENTLY. WE’LL BE HEADING TOWARDS LOW 70S BY MIDDAY DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. BUT LOOK AT THAT SOUTHWEST WIND HERE CHURNING IN THAT 10 TO 15 MILE PER HOUR RANGE. SO THINGS MAY BE A LITTLE GUSTY TO CHOPPY OUT THERE ON THE LAKE WATERS AS WE HEAD INTO THE HEART OF THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING AHEAD, WE’RE STILL GOING TO FEATURE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES STICKING AROUND THROUGH THE END OF THE WORKWEEK, AND THEN BY THE WEEKEND, A DIP IN TEMPERATURES TO BE EXPECTED. HERE’S WHY. LET ME SHOW YOU THE PATTERN SET UP AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW. THERE’S A SYSTEM THAT’S JUST OFFSHORE OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND AS IT STAYS OFFSHORE FOR MOST OF US, EXPECTING TO HAVE THAT ONSHORE FLOW GET REINFORCED, DROPPING OUR TEMPERATURES BACK, GETTING INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND REALLY PICKING UP THAT ONSHORE BREEZE WITH THOSE WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. LOOKING AHEAD TO MONDAY, THOUGH, THE SYSTEM SLOWLY STARTS TO LIFT TO THE NORTH. HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO EXPAND, AND AS THAT BUBBLE OF WARM AIR THAT COULD PUT US INTO SOME HOTTER WEATHER, ESPECIALLY LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK. SO AGAIN, LITTLE DAY TO DAY MODERATION AS WE GET THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WORKWEEK. HIGHS JUST HOVER IN THAT LOWER TO MID 90S RANGE. THE MORNINGS ARE PLEASANT IN THE LOW 60S. THE BREEZE PICKS UP A BIT MORE SATURDAY, SO IF YOU HAVE AN OUTDOOR PLAN SATURDAY, WHILE THE TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER IN THE UPPER 80S, IT MAY
