Updated: 9:00 PM PST Feb 25, 2024
GET OUTSIDE. LET’S BRING IN METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN NOW. DIRK A FABULOUS, FABULOUS WEEKEND. OH, THE WHOLE WEEKEND. SATURDAY, SUNDAY. IT’S BEEN GORGEOUS. TEMPERATURES. THEY WARMED UP TODAY. WE WERE ABOUT AS JUST AS WARM AS WE WERE YESTERDAY. OR MAYBE A DEGREE OR SO COOLER IN MOST LOCATIONS. SACRAMENTO WE WERE JUST THE SAME, BUT STOCKTON A DEGREE COOLER. WHAT TO EXPECT THOUGH, AS WE GO INTO THE WORKWEEK SO WE HAD A NICE WEEKEND. THERE’S SOME CHANGES WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY. WE ARE LOOKING AT INCREASING CLOUD COVER A BIT, AND WITH THOSE CLOUDS COME SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A DRASTIC DROP, BUT IT WILL BE NOTABLE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE DROPPING OFF INTO THE MID TO LOW 60S, AS OPPOSED TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S THAT WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH. AND ALSO WE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. NOT A LOT. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH, BUT THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. MOST OF IT’S GOING TO BE IN THE MOUNTAINS, BUT TODAY WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, BUT STILL, LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES 71 DEGREES IN SACRAMENTO, 71 IN STOCKTON, 70 MODESTO 69 FAIRFIELD 69 MARYSVILLE 64 IN AUBURN. AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S FOR TRUCKEE IN LAKE TAHOE. SO IT WAS A WARM DAY IN THE SIERRA AS WELL. RIGHT NOW. TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S FOR TRUCKEE IN LAKE TAHOE, 50S THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS AND TEMPERATURES STILL HOLDING ON TO THE MID TO LOW 60S IN THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY. YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, EXPECT TO HAVE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THOSE CLOUDS WILL START MOVING IN AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW MORNING, WITH TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY DROPPING OFF INTO THE UPPER 40S.

Updated: 9:00 PM PST Feb 25, 2024
It will be another beautiful day on Sunday before some wet weather returns to parts of Northern California next week.On Saturday, most Valley spots reached 70 degrees. A few more clouds and a light onshore breeze will bring those numbers down a couple of degrees on Sunday. Monday will bring a few light showers for the Valley. The highest accumulations will be south of Sacramento, but even there, totals will range from .05-.20”. There may not be any accumulating rain for Sacramento. There should be just enough snow for chain control for part of Monday. Summit totals of three to six inches of wet snow are expected. Monday will be Impact Day because of the expected slower travel in the mountains.Tuesday and Wednesday look dry.
