What we know about the New Year’s Eve forecast in Northern California<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUSUALLY THERE\u2019S SOME WIND ALONG THE COAST. THERE\u2019S NOTHING THERE. FUTURECAST SHOWS THE CLEAR CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO STAY WITH US OVERNIGHT. AND THAT MEANS FOG WILL BE DEVELOPING. WE WILL NOTICE BY TOMORROW MORNING. JUST SOME HIGH, THIN CLOUDS MOVING IN. IT REALLY SHOULDN\u2019T IMPACT THE FOG TOO MUCH. AND THEN THOSE CLOUDS GET A LITTLE BIT THICKER ON INTO THE AFTERNOON. BUT WE\u2019LL STILL GET SOME SUNSHINE I THINK, BREAKING OUT LATER IN THE DAY BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN. IT\u2019S STILL GOING TO BE A COOL DAY. IN FACT, TEMPERATURES MAY EVEN BE A DEGREE COOLER THAN WHAT WE REACHED TODAY. THEN THE THICKER CLOUDS COME IN ON WEDNESDAY. HERE\u2019S WEDNESDAY MORNING. RAIN CHANCES START TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. WE\u2019LL SEE THE RAIN CHANCES FIRST IN STANISLAUS COUNTY HERE MODESTO BY ABOUT NOONTIME. WE\u2019LL SEE THAT. AND THEN 1:00, 2:00 AND BY 3:00 WE SHOULD SEE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS AROUND SACRAMENTO. MOVING NORTH TOWARDS YUBA CITY. AND MARYSVILLE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN. IT\u2019S GOING TO TURN MORE SHOWERY AS WE GO FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. HERE\u2019S 8:30 A.M. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT RAIN THERE IN PLACE FOR THURSDAY MORNING. SO OVERNIGHT AND CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR, JUST BE PREPARED FOR THAT CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMING TOMORROW INTO THE UPPER 40S FOR DAYTIME HIGHS. MORNING TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN IN THE 30S. WE SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN WE WERE THIS MORNING, BUT STILL, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A CHILLY START FOR YOUR MORNING FAIRFIELD WARMING UP TO 52 DEGREES. AUBURN 55 DEGREES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S FOR TRUCKEE AND LAKE TAHOE. SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE EXPECT TO HAVE CONDITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO TURN WET, AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO STAY WET WITH THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN ON AND OFF AGAIN THROUGH FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY. AND THAT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL BE THERE. I THINK THE WETTEST DAYS ARE GOING TO BE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WE SHOULD GET A SOLID RAIN WHERE WE COULD SEE ANYWHERE FROM A HALF AN INCH TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN AND MORNING TEMPERATURES ALSO WILL BE NOTICEABLY WARMER, BUT THAT JUST MEANS THAT SNOW LEVELS ARE GOING TO BE HIGHER. AND SO WE\u2019RE NOT TALKING A LOT OF SNOW THROUGH THE WEEK, BUT BY THE WEEKEND WE COULD GET MORE SNOW IN THE SIERRA. JUST KIND OF A DREARY HOLIDAY COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
