Northern California Halloween forecast: Perfect weather for trick-or-treating
GOING TO BE A DOORBELL RINGING ALL NIGHT LONG. YES, DEFINITELY. AND THE FORECAST IS GOING TO BE SHAPING UP NICELY. SO I THINK YOU’LL PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF KIDS VISITING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. TEMPERATURES LOW 50S RIGHT NOW IN THE VALLEY. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK IN RANCHO CORDOVA WHERE THE SKIES LOOKING JUST A LITTLE BIT HAZY. IT’S 28 RIGHT NOW, WAKING UP IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE TODAY, MARKING THE 30TH DAY OF OCTOBER. AND WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL. KEEP IN MIND, WHEN WE RIDE OUT THESE FINAL DAYS OF OCTOBER, NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR HIGHS LOWER 70S TODAY, EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF UPPER 70S. I JUST DON’T THINK MANY AREAS WILL REACH THE 80 DEGREE MARK LIKE WE DID YESTERDAY. AND FOR PERSPECTIVE, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BACK IN 2015, TEN YEARS AGO TO BE EXACT, WE BROKE A RECORD ON THIS DAY AT 85 DEGREES. LET’S LOOK CLOSER AT THAT HALLOWEEN FORECAST AS THE BATS GET READY TO FLY BY IN THE VALLEY. TEMPERATURES AROUND 6:00 TOMORROW. LOW 70S, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. A FEW CLOUDS WILL TRICKLE IN BY 8:00, BUT STILL COMFORTABLE MID 60S FOR FOOTHILLS. HALLOWEEN FORECAST STARTS OUT 6:00 UPPER 60S. WE DROP BACK TO LOW 60S BY 8:00 AND IN THE SIERRA. THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONE SPOT YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT LAYER READY TO GO FOR, ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONES. 6:00 YOU’RE AT 60 DEGREES, DROPPING BACK TO LOW 50S AROUND 8:00. SO THE WEATHER FORECAST, THE PATTERN AS WE LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW, A LITTLE SYSTEM WILL GO BY THE AREA TODAY BRINGING US SOME CLOUDS. IT’S ALSO GOING TO HELP TO ENHANCE A BIT OF THE DELTA BREEZE. SO IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES, EVEN AS THAT SYSTEM HELPS US, WE’RE LOOKING ABOVE NORMAL. EVEN WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS. WE’LL SEE THOSE SKIES TODAY DRY HALLOWEEN. SO AGAIN, DON’T BE SPOOKED BY THOSE LATE IN THE EVENING. CLOUDS. RAIN CHANCES ARE SET TO INCREASE MIDDLE TO LATE NEXT WEEK. NOW LET’S GO THROUGH SOME OF THIS WITH FUTURECAST. THERE’S WHERE SOME OF THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO COME INTO PLAY, ESPECIALLY ON HALLOWEEN EVENING. BUT AGAIN DRY FORECAST. WE’RE DRY STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THAT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE PRETTY MUCH INFLUENCES US AND KEEPS US HIGH AND DRY. WE’LL HEAD INTO SUNDAY A FEW MORE CLOUDS BY LATE IN THE DAY, ON SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY, AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. CLOUDS WILL CERTAINLY START TO BUILD. IT’S BY WEDNESDAY AND WATCHING THIS WEATHER SYSTEM THAT IS EXPECTED TO DELIVER LIKELY WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THURSDAY. POTENTIAL FOR RAIN. BE NICE TO GET THAT, WOULDN’T IT? SEVEN DAY FORECAST. YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF ICONS ON HERE. TEMPERATURES NOT MODERATING ALL THAT MUCH STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FIRST WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER. QUITE MILD ABOVE NORMAL. DON’T FORGET THOUGH, SATURDAY NIGHT TO SET THOSE CLOCKS BACK AN HOUR. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS AND THEN INTO NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES START TO SLINK DOWNWARD MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT COULD BE LOOKING AT THOSE RAIN CHANCES GOING UP. SO BY TOMORROW, YOU MAY SEE THAT THERE’S A RAIN ICON ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. FOR NOW, THOUGH, KEEPING IT DRY DURING THE DAY. ALL RIGHT. GOING ON.
