Mostly Sunny with cold/frosty nights

Cold nights will continue early this weekwith with some areas dropping into the middle 20s across the Central Valley and along the North Coast. Clouds will begin to increase Tuesday with a slight chance of showers midweek as a system hangs along the North Coast. Best chance of rain right now looks to be late Thursday and into Friday possibly bringing another 1/2" of rain and another foot of snow to the Sierra. So far these last few weeks the Tahoe area has see record early season snowfall as snow levels become occasionally low.

Dry weather on its way!


Frontal rain and afternoon thunderstorms affected the Chico area yesterday. Meanwhile a weak storm system is forecast to pass by Tuesday evening & night but only producing light rainfall amounts. After that long range forecast models are showing no rain for Northern California at least through all of next week!
