Northern California forecast: Sunny and mild afternoon
Some areas of patchy dense fog are present this morning, but a very pleasant afternoon is expected with mild temperatures and sunshine.
CAN CATCH OUR SPECIAL BIG GAME IN THE BAY SHOW FOR 18 NOW. TAMARA, AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK HERE, THE GOLDEN ONE CENTER STILL LOOKS LIKE SUPER BOWL SUNDAY TO BE NICE WEATHER. YEAH, I DO THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A TREAT FOR FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HEADING TO THAT AREA. AND THIS IS WHAT I’VE GOT FOR THE SUPER BOWL FORECAST. I THINK THAT TEMPERATURES RIGHT BEFORE THE KICKOFF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO THE STADIUM OR IN THE PARKING LOT TO DO SOME TAILGATING, YOU’RE LOOKING AT LOWER 60S WITH MAINLY SUNNY CONDITIONS. CLOUDS WILL BUILD DURING THE GAME IN THE AFTERNOON. WE’LL CALL IT PARTLY CLOUDY, BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD THERE AS THINGS ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE DRY WITH MID AND UPPER 60S AROUND THE SANTA CLARA AREA. BACK HERE, CLOSER TO HOME, HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT RANCHO CORDOVA. WE’VE GOT HAZY SKIES AND KEEPING AN EYE ON FOG DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN SEE OFF ON THE HORIZON THERE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE PATCHY FOG STARTING TO DEVELOP. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE IN THE LOW 40S TO THE LOW 20S UP AT THE TOP, AND SOME OF THE THICKER FOG I’M WATCHING. YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE TOP DOWN HERE, THE SATELLITE LOOP SHOWING YOU FROM SPACE THAT THERE IS SOME THICKER CLOUDS OF FOG FOR YOU AROUND STOCKTON POINTS SOUTH AND IN THROUGH PARTS OF CENTRAL MODESTO. THAT’S WHERE SOME OF THAT HEAVY FOG IS HIDING OUT. YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE 80 STRETCH IF YOU TRAVEL, LET’S SAY THROUGH FAIRFIELD OR VACAVILLE. NOTHING TOO BAD. THERE ARE SOME PATCHY AREAS OF FOG OUT NEAR SAC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND TYPICAL FOGGY SPOT THERE ALONG 80 OUT INTO NORTH HIGHLANDS AROUND MCCLELLAN. THERE ARE SOME PATCHES OF FOG. WE’RE DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A MILE VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW IN STOCKTON OFF TOWARDS MANTECA, SALIDA, MODESTO AND TURLOCK. YOU COULD SEE SOME AREAS OF PATCHY FOG AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. TODAY AGAIN, THINGS WILL BE FAIRLY QUIET. MILD TEMPERATURES FOR THE AFTERNOON, WHILE ANOTHER RUN AT VERY WARM CONDITIONS FOR WEDNESDAY. THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO THURSDAY, THE FIFTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, WE’LL START TO SEE AGAIN A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER. STREAM UP FROM THE SOUTH AND WE’LL SEE THOSE CLOUDY SKIES AROUND FRIDAY AND LIKELY SATURDAY. BUT NOTICE HOW MOST OF ANY ACTIVE WEATHER STILL PUSHES TO THE NORTH, EVEN AS WE GET INTO THE FIRST WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WORKWEEK, THIS WEATHER SYSTEM TO THE NORTH, WHILE IT DOESN’T LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE, IT DOES START TO DIG INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SO BY AROUND MAYBE THE 10TH IS WHEN WE COULD SEE OUR BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO RETURN. AND AGAIN, THAT BRINGS US IN TO THE NEXT WORKWEEK. SO THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, AND EVEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND THERE, FOOTHILLS AND SIERRA FORECAST DRY. GOOD FOR TRAVEL, GOOD FOR WORKING OUTDOORS. SAME STORY HERE IN THE VALLEY. I KNOW IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SOMEONE WAS POURING CONCRETE YESTERDAY AND THOUGHT, THAT’S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE DRY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF A LITTLE BIT OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT STILL RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL, AND IT LOOKS LIKE TEO MAYBE POTENTIALLY IN THE VALLEY. WE COULD SEE THE RAIN SHOWERS RETURN, MAYBE BY NEXT TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. NICE. YES, PATTERN CHANGES DO MY GOODNESS. BUT THAT IDEAL WEATHER FOR THE SUPER BOWL? YEAH. LOOKS GREAT. DO YOU HAVE A TICKET? I DON’T HAVE 6000

Plan for more valley fog with some thick patches around, especially in the San Joaquin Valley. Fog will clear in the late morning, leaving us with sunny skies for the afternoons. Temperatures will be quite mild as well, with mid and upper 60s expected throughout the Valley and Foothills. Wednesday is expected to be the warmest day of the week. The 7 day forecast remains dry for the Valley, but we may see rain and snow showers in the Sierra by early next week.
