Hot N Cold


Growers are getting ready to harvest! (I was in Paso Robles recently)



After record breaking heat struck Northern and Central California, another big swing in temperatures is expected tomorrow as a large trough moves inland across the West Coast. Partly cloudy skies and temperatures well below normal are expected. There is a slight chance of rain too! Thats right rain! It hasn't rain across the North State (besides mt showers) in over three months! Local models are even showing some possible thunderstorms developing tomorrow as an unstable airmass passes through. Conditions look to become more seasonal next week.

Get your AC ready!

Cool midweek still but then HOT weather expected over the weekend and into early next week (100s). Cooler again by late next week as onshore flow returns.

Cool August temperatures!

(Napa Valley in the morning from Angwin)
It may not feel that cool but conditions are cooler than normal all across the North State. This has been felt the most in areas that see a marine air influence (i.e. Sonoma & Napa Counties along with areas like Vacaville & Sacramento). Look for similar conditions to last into the middle of next week. After that forecast models are uncertain if we'll warm back up or remain cool. Most growers are hoping for warmer temps, especially ones near the coast!
