Unseasonably warm days continue for NorCal
ADVANCE THAT NOMINATION. TIME RIGHT NOW IS 517, AND TAMARA IS HERE WITH OUR FORECAST, AND IT FEELS MORE LIKE SUMMER THESE DAYS. IT HAS BEEN ALL WEEKEND LONG. TEMPERATURES BROKE MORE RECORDS ACROSS THE REGION. I THINK TODAY IS GOING TO BE NO EXCEPTION. WE COULD SEE MORE RECORDS EASILY FALL ACROSS THE REGION. A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW FROM THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY. THIS IS THE SUTTER BUTTE SKY CAMERA SHOWING OFF JUST A PRETTY CLEAR VIEW HERE AROUND THE VALLEY. THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHES OF HAZE HERE AND THERE, BUT OTHERWISE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. IT’S 53 RIGHT NOW UNDER THOSE CLEAR SKIES IN SACRAMENTO, 51 OUT THE DOOR. STOCKTON 59. KICKING OFF YOUR MONDAY MORNING MODESTO AND 48 IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. SO WE’VE HAD THIS VERY LONG STRETCH OF RECORD WARMTH ACTUALLY GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 15TH OF MARCH. THAT WAS NOT THIS PAST SUNDAY, BUT THE SUNDAY BEFORE THAT. AND WE DID SEE A RECORD TIED YESTERDAY. WE DID THE SAME THING. WE TIED THE RECORD AT 84 DEGREES. AND I DO EXPECT THAT TODAY WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN THAT BALLPARK OF EITHER TYING OR BREAKING THE RECORD AS WE WARM UP TO ABOUT 82. THE RECORD ON THIS DAY IS 81 BROKEN BACK IN 2022. NOW ACROSS THE REGION, I THINK AS A WHOLE TODAY. STOCKTON YOUR FORECAST I’VE GOT FOR YOU IS 85, YOUR RECORDS 86. WE’RE GOING TO BE VERY CLOSE. AND THEN THE FORECAST IN MODESTO IS 86, BUT THE RECORD IS 85. AND ALL THESE RECORDS GO BACK TO 2022. SOUTH LAKE TAHOE COULD EASILY SHATTER THE RECORD OF 66, WHICH WAS BROKEN BACK IN 2022, ON THIS DAY, BY HITTING 70 DEGREES. THAT’S THE FORECAST I HAVE FOR YOU. BIG PICTURE VIEW. WE WILL SEE A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER KIND OF SCATTER OUT AS THE SYSTEM GOES BY TO THE NORTH, TEMPERATURES STILL STAYING UNSEASONABLY WARM. A FEW MORE CLOUDS AROUND THIS WEEK. BREEZY DAY ON THURSDAY, THEN THE BIGGER DROPS IN TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED BY THE WEEKEND AS THIS BIG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO LOSE ITS GRIP ON OUR AREA AND WEAKEN AND FLATTEN OUT. MOVING OFF TO THE EAST, WE’RE STILL TALKING TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEK. MORE CLOUDS, A BIT MORE OF AN ONSHORE BREEZE. BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. AND THEN LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD HERE, THIS WEATHER SYSTEM JUST TO THE NORTH IS THE ONE THAT MAY BE MOVING CLOSER TO US, ESPECIALLY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WHICH OF COURSE KICKS OFF OFFICIALLY THE START OF APRIL. SO FORECAST IN THE FOOTHILLS AND IN THE SIERRA. STILL PLENTY WARM UPPER 70S LOW 80S IN THE FOOTHILLS WILL DO. UPPER 60S LOW 70S IN THE HIGH COUNTRY. YOUR VALLEY FORECAST LOOKS LIKE THIS. TEMPERATURES KIND OF SIMMER DOWN SLIGHTLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. BUT LADIES, WE’RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THOSE HIGHS UPPER 70S, LOW 80S INTO NEXT WEEKEND. YOUR FORECAST AGAIN IS STAYING UNSEASONABLY WARM. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH AS WE TRANSITION INTO APRIL, WE COULD SEE A SIGNAL FOR BIGGER CHANGE. COOLING, MAY
