<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Dense fog Monday, will it rain on New Year’s Eve?<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHERE NOW WITH DETAILS ON THIS FORECAST. YEAH. THE FOG. THE BIGGEST CONCERN ESPECIALLY FOR THIS MORNING. BUT ONCE THE FOG MIXES OUT THIS AFTERNOON, WE\u2019LL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AHEAD WITH SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO NORMAL HEIGHTS. LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS RANCHO CORDOVA. YEAH. FILLING IN WITH FOG SOUP. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW, UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S. MAKE YOUR WAY OUT THE DOOR HERE IN THE VALLEY. YOU DEFINITELY WANT THOSE LAYERS. AND MAYBE A WARM BEVERAGE OF YOUR CHOICE IN TUMBLER THIS MORNING TO KEEP IT WARM. EIGHT DEGREES SOUTH LAKE TAHOE SEEING SOME PATCHY AREAS OF FREEZING FOG AROUND TRUCKEE, BUT THE HEAVIER FOG THAT\u2019S REALLY IMPACTING VISIBILITY FOR COMMUTERS ALONG I5 99. PARTS OF THE 80S SPOTS. SEEING SOME OF THIS FOG AND VISIBILITY DOWN TO QUARTER MILE OR LESS OUT NEAR THE AIRPORT THIS MORNING IN NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WOODLAN AND NATOMAS, IT\u2019S PRETTY HEAVY. WE\u2019RE ALSO SEEING SOME PRETTY HEAVY FOG AS YOU GO EAST OF SACRAMENTO DRIVING. LET\u2019S SAY INTERSTATE 80, IN THROUGH AREAS LIKE FAIR OAKS, CITRUS HEIGHTS, OR KINGVALE. YOU MAY BE SEEING A PRETTY GOOD DROP OFF VISIBILITY. SAME STORY FOR RANCHO CORDOVA SOUTH SACRAMENTO AROUND THE POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEN YOU GET INTO STOCKTON MANTECA SALIDA MODESTO. WE\u2019RE ALSO SEEING SOME ROUNDS OF HEAVIER FOG, AND THAT EXTENDS OUT TOWARDS THE TRACY TRIANGLE, WHERE TRACY RIGHT NOW IS UNDER A QUARTER OF A MILE. NOW, NOTICE THAT THE RADAR SATELLITE LOOP OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. FAIRLY QUIET LANDSCAPE HERE ON THE WEST COAST. WE\u2019RE GOING TO KEEP IT QUIET TODAY AND AGAIN TOMORROW, BUT IMPACT DAYS ARE ROLLING IN, ESPECIALLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS FOR YOU? THEY\u2019LL BE PERIODS OF STEADY RAINFALL, OCCASIONAL BREEZY CONDITIONS AND SNOW REALLY COMING DOWN IN THIS YEAR. BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY. LET\u2019S TIME THIS OUT NOW BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE, OF COURSE, NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE IN RANGE ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS GOING TO BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IF YOU HAVE A DINNER RESERVATION, YOU WANT TO HAVE THE RAIN GEAR READY TO GO. AS WE COULD BE SEEING AGAIN, SOME GOOD STEADY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THURSDAY MORNING. I KNOW NEW YEAR\u2019S DAY. A LOT OF FOLKS LIKE TO GET OUTDOORS AND START THOSE RESOLUTIONS. I DO EXPECT THAT IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WET AND A LITTLE BIT BREEZY AS WELL. BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THIS IS 5 P.M. AS THE SUN IS DOWN, WE\u2019RE STILL SEEING RAINFALL AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE\u2019RE SEEING THIS RAIN. BY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY TURN INTO SNOW. SO EXTENDED SEVEN DAY FORECAST IN THE FOOTHILLS AND THE SIERRA AGAIN. DRY START TO THE WEEK. AND I THINK THAT BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WE START TO GET RAIN IN THE FOOTHILLS. RAIN IN THE SIERRA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN TURNING OVER TO SNOWFALL BY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SEVEN DAY FORECAST HERE FOR THE VALLEY. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO NOTICE THOSE TEMPERATURES KIND OF IN THAT RANGE OF LOW TO MID 50S WITH SOME GOOD STEADY RAINFALL EXPECTED STARTIN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
