Mild temps all week!

It's not quite fall yet as high temperatures all week look to be in the middle to upper 80s across the Central Valley and in the 70s near the coast. A consist marine layer is expected as well for areas near the coast which will mean starting your day off in the fog and low cloudiness. Cooler weather is expected next weekend along with more cloud cover. Forecast models where showing rain a few days ago but have now backed off and keep any rainfall along the North Coast...we shall see!

Last week a few areas in the Sacramento Valley got dumped on by thunderstorms (Chico, Maxwell, etc) Chico had some flooding issues downtown as well (water over the roads and people rafting down the streets). Surprisingly, most stations received only 1/2" of rainfall. Perhaps is was locally heavier directly downtown but there are no rain gauges there to check...

Pleasant Labor Day Weather

Near normal conditions are on tap this holiday weekend, lower 90s inland and 70s & 80s near the coast. Much cooler weather will be nearing by Tuesday and Wednesday as highs on Wednesday only reach the 70s everywhere! With some clouds too! A gradual warm up will occur late in the week but temps in the 80s inland will continue (below normal) as fall and havest season quickly approaches.

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!

HOT Weather!!

After a cool past couple of days, as the marine layer advanced well inland, temperatures will be heating up today and remain hot through the weekend, especially for areas in the Central Valley. Latest model runs are indicating that the hottest day for most of the state will be on Saturday with temperatures likely topping the century mark inland. Cooler weather should arrive early to mid next week with some areas starting to cool off on Sunday.

Summer is HERE...but luckily no scorching heat waves...yet

Cooler today as a thick marine layer developed overnight. Gradual warming trend this week with hot inland temperatures by this weekend. Possible mountain thunderstorms Thurs &Fri.
