Northern California forecast: Rain throughout next couple of days possible
Updated: 9:30 PM PST Nov 15, 2023
LITTLE ONES. YEAH, WHAT A SETUP. THAT’S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO PUT TOGETHER. LET’S GET A CHECK ON THE FORECAST ONCE AGAIN WITH MARK AND WE DO HAVE CLOUDS IN THE AREA AND WE HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. BUT IT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN IT DID NOT ONLY EARLIER TODAY, BUT CERTAINLY DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT TEMPERATURES ARE STILL RELATIVELY MILD. WE HAVE 62 DEGREES. THERE HAS BEEN SOME LIGHT RAIN IN THE AREA AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE CHANCES OF RAIN ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS TONIGHT. BUT THE THING ABOUT HAVING ALL THIS CLOUD COVER AROUND, LOOK AT HOW THE TEMPERATURES JUST DON’T DROP OFF THAT MUCH OR OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT WILL ONLY BE IN THE LOW 50S. THAT’S A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN IT HAS BEEN THE LAST FEW NIGHTS. SO, YEAH, A LOT OF CLOUDS AND AN OCCASIONAL SHOWER. WE DON’T EXPECT ANY DOWNPOURS. HOWEVER, AND ALL THE RAIN COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH. WE MAY GET A 10TH OF AN INCH OF RAIN AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. DOPPLER IS SHOWING SOME SNOW HERE AND WE DO HAVE A CLOSURE NOW ON HIGHWAY FOUR, HIGHWAY 108 AND 120. THOSE ARE THE SEASONAL CLOSURES, THE ROADS THAT CLOSE SEASONALLY, THEY MAY GET REOPENED BY NEXT WEEK, BUT WE WILL NOT BE SEEING ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF SNOW ON 80 OR 50 AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. LOOK AT THAT FLOW COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH. SO IT’S THAT WARM FLOW FROM THE SOUTH THAT MAKES SURE THAT WE HAVE MORE RAIN IN THE SIERRA THAN SNOW. AND LOOK AT THIS LITTLE LOW JUST SPINNING AROUND OUT IN HERE. REALLY GOOD PICTURE OF IT. JUST LOOKS LIKE A NICE LITTLE COMMA OUT IN HERE. THAT WILL EVENTUALLY COME INLAND AND BRING US OUR BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN LATE FRIDAY. AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY. SO I’LL SLOWLY GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS FOR YOU AND WE’LL TRY TO TIME OUT THE RAIN. HOWEVER, I WOULD EXPECT THE EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION OF SOME OF THIS RAIN TO CHANGE ONCE AGAIN. BUT THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA. THIS IS TONIGHT AT 11:00, A LITTLE BOUNDARY OF RAIN GOING THROUGH TOMORROW. LOOKS LIKE A MOSTLY DRY DAY. THIS IS TOMORROW MORNING AT 7 A.M. I THINK THE MORNING COMMUTE WOULD BE DRY AND ALSO THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY. WE’RE ALSO MOSTLY DRY. YOU SEE SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS HERE AND THERE AND THERE AGAIN, MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. THIS IS 7:00, PERHAPS A LITTLE SPOT OF RAIN GOING THROUGH TUOLUMNE AND STANISLAUS COUNTY. THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON FRIDAY, NOTICE THAT FLOW CONTINUES FROM THE SOUTH. THIS IS FRIDAY MORNING, FRIDAY MORNING ACTUALLY LOOKS PRETTY DRY AND THE EARLY AFTERNOON DOES AS WELL. THE TIMING OF WHEN THIS NEXT AREA OF RAIN WILL COME IN. WELL, THE MODELS ARE NOW PUSHING IT BACK A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 11:00. SO FRIDAY EVENING PLANS, FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL COULD BE DRY IF THIS TIMING HOLDS. IT DOES LOOK AS THOUGH THE BEST RAIN WILL COME IN OVERNIGHT FRIDAY AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY. AND ONCE WE GET THAT PAST US, ALL OF THIS WILL DRY OUT. SO TOMORROW, A SHOWER OR TWO, FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS WE’LL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN. IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS SATURDAY MORNING, LET’S SAY, AROUND 8 OR 9, THAT LOOKS WET MAYBE BY 4 OR 5 IN THE AFTERNOON, WE MIGHT SEE DRYING AFTER THAT. EVERYTHING IS DRY. SUNDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY. THE LEAD UP TO THANKSGIVING RIGHT NOW DOES LOOK DRY, BUT IN TERMS OF THE EXACT TIMING FOR SATURDAY, NO, A LOT OF OUTDOOR PLANS. SATURDAY, WE’LL TRY TO NAIL THAT DOWN. BUT RIGHT NOW I’M THINKING IT’S
