<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Mild through Valentine\u2019s Day, then storms return<\/p>\n
Some areas of patchy fog will fade through Friday morning, making way for a sunny afternoon.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPORTS FROM CORTINA. ALL RIGHT. BYE, GUYS. ALL RIGHT, 550. LET\u2019S TALK WEATHER HERE BACK AT HOME TAKING THIS LIVE. LOOK AT SUTTER HEALTH PARK. TAMARA IS HERE NOW. AND I MEAN, GOSH, WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS THERE. YES. MUCH LIKE WHAT YOU JUST SAW THERE IN WHERE SHE\u2019S AT. YOU\u2019LL NOTICE THAT THE SUN IS OUT BLUE SKY. THERE\u2019S SOME PASSING CLOUDS. THAT\u2019S HOW OUR TAHOE FORECAST IS GOING TO LOOK FOR TODAY. BUT THAT WILL BE SHORT LIVED BECAUSE AS WE GET INTO THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY, THAT\u2019S WHEN THINGS WILL START TO STEER AND CHANGE UP PRETTY ABRUPTLY. RIGHT NOW, WE\u2019VE GOT TEMPERATURES COOLING OFF. GRAB THAT THICK JACKET SACRAMENTO 39 DEGREES. HERE IN STOCKTON WE\u2019RE DOWN TO 41 WITH SOME FOG TRYING TO DEVELOP AROUND THE PORT CITY. IT\u2019S 43 MODESTO 22, IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. AND TODAY IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL WINTER DAY. TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT ABOVE NORMAL. THE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR MID FEBRUARY, TYPICALLY 61. TODAY\u2019S HIGH AIMING TO REACH 65. SO A VERY SIMILAR LOOK AND FEEL TO YESTERDAY. BUT THE CHANGES WILL START TO SLOWLY TRICKLE IN. WE\u2019VE GOT SOME MUCH COLDER AIR THAT\u2019S GOING TO WORK INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, JUST IN TIME FOR THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEKEND. SO WHILE THINGS ARE DRY AND MILD THROUGH SATURDAY, THAT\u2019S MY FORECAST GUARANTEE. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO RETURN LATE IN THE DAY ON SUNDAY, AND NOW WE\u2019VE ELEVATED TO ALERT DAYS FOR BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR GOOD. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL, HEAVY SIERRA SNOW AND OCCASIONAL GUSTY WINDS. NOW LET\u2019S TIME THIS ALL OUT WITH FUTURECAST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ON HOW TO PLAN. SO AGAIN, FRONT HALF OF THE WEEKEND IS DRY, BUT BY SUNDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON, I\u2019D SAY ANYTIME AFTER ABOUT LUNCHTIME WE COULD SEE THE RAIN DEVELOP, A MOVE INTO THE AREA, THEN IT BECOMES WIDESPREAD. ONCE THE SNOW BEGINS IN THE SIERRA, IT\u2019S BASICALLY NOT GOING TO LET UP MONDAY, TUESDAY AND BY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER REINFORCING SYSTEM WITH COLDER AIR COMES IN. THAT\u2019S WHEN THAT SNOW LEVEL COULD DROP AS LOW AS AROUND 3000FT. NOW, IN TERMS OF SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION, THIS IS ACCUMULATIVE FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. I\u2019M TALKING ABOUT 2 TO 5FT OF SNOW ABOVE 5000FT FOR THE VALLEY. THE RAIN WON\u2019T BE AS IMPRESSIVE. AND THE TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO EXPECT TO HAVE ANY FLOOD CONCERNS NOW IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WE\u2019VE GOT THOSE ALERT DAYS, BIG DROP IN TEMPERATURES AND YOU CAN SEE THAT CLEARLY PAINTED HERE FROM THE 60S OVE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
