Northern California forecast: Pleasant Saturday
Areas of patchy fog are present early Saturday morning, but the afternoon will be pleasant with sunshine and mild temperatures.
LET’S GO NOW TO KELLY, TRACKING OUR FORECAST FOR TODAY AND HOPEFULLY A REPEAT OF YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY WAS SO NICE. AND YOU KNOW REALLY TODAY IS SHAPING UP TO BE A GOOD ONE TOO. THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF FOG. YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF HAZE HERE IN SACRAMENTO RIGHT NOW, AND SOME CLOUDS OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. BUT OVERALL A DECENT START FOR US. IT’S 40 DEGREES, THE WINDS ARE CALM, HUMIDITY 100%. NOW WHERE ARE WE SEEING THE FOG? WE’RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT UP TO TRUCKEE THIS MORNING. WE’RE ALSO SEEING QUITE A BIT OVER INTO MARIN COUNTY AND AROUND SANTA ROSA. WE’VE ALSO SEEN SOME NEAR SAN JOSE, SACRAMENTO, EXECUTIVE AIRPORT AND SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL BOTH HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF HAZE, BUT IT’S REALLY NOT HAVING THAT BIG OF AN IMPACT. NOW MODESTO VISIBILITY AT THREE MILES AGAIN, WE’VE CERTAINLY SEEN WORSE. BUT AS YOU HEAD FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, MERCED AND MADERA, THAT’S WHERE WE’RE SEEING THOSE VISIBILITIES REDUCED TO A QUARTER MILE OR LESS. SO THERE ARE STILL SOME AREAS OF PATCHY FOG, JUST NOT AS WIDESPREAD AS PREVIOUS MORNINGS. NOW WE’RE ALSO WATCHING THIS LINE OF CLOUDS MOVING THROUGH THOSE MADE FOR REALLY PRETTY SUNRISE THIS MORNING. AND AS WE ZOOM OUT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE NATIONAL PICTURE, WE CERTAINLY HAVE SOME AREAS OF ACTIVITY. ONE OF THOSE BEING NEW ENGLAND. I’M SURE THE PATS FANS WHO ARE HERE FOR THE GAME ARE THRILLED BECAUSE IT IS SNOWING IN BOSTON RIGHT NOW. RHODE ISLAND, CONNECTICUT. ALSO SEEING QUITE A BIT OF THAT SNOW. THEN WE HEAD OVER TO SEATTLE WHERE WE’VE GOT TONS OF RAIN ON THE WAY. NOW, OF COURSE, THE FORECAST FOR SANTA CLARA MID 60S AND SUNSHINE MUCH BETTER. ALL RIGHT. SO FUTURECAST MODEL DOES SHOW A SYSTEM THAT’S GOING TO BE PASSING TO OUR NORTH. AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY EVENING WE MIGHT SEE A SPRINKLE OR TWO AROUND SAN FRANCISCO. BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART THINGS ARE GOING TO STAY DRY. WE COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY INTO PLUMAS COUNTY, AND THAT’S GOING TO BE SUNDAY EVENING. AND MOST OF THAT’S GOING TO BE VERY LIGHT. THEN WE GET INTO MONDAY NIGHT. NOW MONDAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE’LL SEE A LOT MORE CLOUDS AS THIS NEXT LOW STARTS TO PUSH IN. MONDAY NIGHT FLURRIES BEGINNING. AND LOOK AT THIS TUESDAY CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE AREA. MUCH NEEDED NOW IT DOESN’T LOOK ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE JUST YET, BUT WE DO HAVE ANOTHER SYSTEM BEHIND IT THAT COULD BE EVEN BETTER. SO FRIDAY NIGHT WE’LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF ACTION STARTING TO MOVE IN. SOME RAIN, SOME SIERRA SNOW, AND THEN LOOK AT SUNDAY. YEAH, RAIN AND SNOW MOVING IN AGAIN. MUCH NEEDED. WE LOVE. DON’T GET ME WRONG, WE LOVE THE MOSTLY SUNNY 70 DEGREE DAYS THERE. CERTAINLY FANTASTIC WE ENJOYED YESTERDAY. WE’RE GOING TO ENJOY IT THIS WEEKEND, BUT WE NEED THAT RAIN. WE NEED THAT SNOW. SO DRY THIS WEEKEND, BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 60S, LOW 50S IN THE SIERRA. AGAIN, DRY CONDITIONS FOR US NOW, BUT UNSETTLED WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR LATER IN THE WEEK IN THE VALLEY 68 TODAY MID 60S FOR TOMORROW AS WELL. AND THEN WE START TO COOL OFF AS THE RAIN AND THAT SNOW STARTS MOVING ITS WAY IN. SO WE’RE GETTING A NICE LITTLE MIX. WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT WEEKEND FOR ALL THE SUPER BOWL FESTIVITIES, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANTED. AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO GET THAT RAIN WE NEED. LOOK FORWARD TO THE RAIN. WE’RE GOING TO ENJOY THE SUNSHINE TODAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, KELLY. TOMORROW I
