<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Calm before the storms<\/p>\n
It’s a cloudy and dry Valentine’s Day, but you may want to run errands and stock up on supplies before a series of storm systems roll through the region bringing, rain, gusty winds, and heavy snow.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW LET\u2019S SEND IT OVER NOW TO KELLY. TRACKING OUR FORECAST FOR TODAY. AND WE HOPE IT\u2019S STAYING DRY. YEAH. YOU KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SQUEEZE IN A ROUND OF GOLF TODAY YOU\u2019RE GOOD. GOOD TO GO. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE CLOUDY BUT DRY. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE IN SACRAMENTO WEST SACRAMENTO FROM THE SUTTER BALLPARK. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE DO HAVE AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE THERE TRYING TO PEEK THROUGH THE CLOUDS. AGAIN, TODAY IS THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW IN THE LOW 40S. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, MORE AND MORE CLOUD COVER WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH, GENERALLY ABOUT 5 TO 10MPH, AND AFTERNOON HIGHS TODAY. WELL, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE IN THE LOW 60S, WHICH IS NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO WE\u2019RE SUPPOSED TO SEE. ALL RIGHT. SO LIKE I SAID A LOT OF CLOUD COVER, ESPECIALLY UP BY YUBA CITY AND CHICO. YOU\u2019RE STARTING TO SEE A FEW MORE BREAKS IN THOSE CLOUDS FOR SACRAMENTO STOCKTON AND AROUND THE DELTA. REDDING HAS SEEN A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS TODAY. SHASTA SEEING A LITTLE BIT MORE. LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURECAST. WE\u2019RE GOING TO BREAK IT DOWN NOW. TODAY IS DRY. TODAY IS THE DAY TO RUN ERRANDS, GET EVERYTHING STOCKED UP, ALL THE SUPPLIES YOU NEED BECAUSE TRAVEL IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORKWEEK. NOW, AS WE GET INTO THIS EVENING, SAY YOU\u2019RE GOING OUT TO DINNER, IT\u2019S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE CLOUDY, BUT WE\u2019RE NOT EXPECTING WET WEATHER. TONIGHT, THOUGH, THIS IS A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT. YOU START SEEING A FEW SPOTTY LIGHT SHOWERS POPPING UP. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW MORNING, LOOK AT THIS. SHOWERS ALREADY MAKING THEIR WAY IN. WE\u2019LL BE SEEING THEM AROUND DAVIS AND FAIRFIELD NAPA SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS, BUT NOTICE STILL DRY FOR THE SIERRA IN THE MORNING. SO IF YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO IN THE MORNING, YOU\u2019RE STILL GOOD. BUT IF YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BE UP THERE, MAYBE SKIING THINKING IT\u2019S A LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND, TRY TO GET DOWN EARLIER IN THE DAY ON SUNDAY AND DON\u2019T WAIT UNTIL MONDAY BECAUSE MONDAY IS ROAD CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY BAD. SNOW SHOWERS ARE GOING TO START AROUND 5:00 6:00 IN THE SIERRA. NOTICE A HEAVY RAIN THERE IN THE FOOTHILLS. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE PLUMMETING THIS WEEK AS WELL. AND AS WE GET INTO MONDAY, NOTICE ALL THAT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IN THE VALLEY. STILL, THE CONTINUED SNOW SHOWERS THERE IN THE SIERRA. NOW RAINFALL TOTALS UP TO ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF IN SACRAMENTO. THIS IS SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, SO THAT\u2019S NOT TOO DRAMATIC. SONORA COULD SEE UP TO THREE INCHES. SAME AROUND PLACERVILLE. IT\u2019S THE SNOW. THAT\u2019S THE BIGGER CONCERN HERE. AND THIS IS WHY IF YOU\u2019RE IN, SAY IF YOU\u2019RE UP THERE SKIING THIS WEEKEND, COME DOWN TOMORROW MIDDAY. I KNOW YOU\u2019RE KIND OF MISSING A DAY, BUT LOOK AT WHAT WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT ON MONDAY HERE. SNOW LEVELS STARTING OUT AROUND 5500FT, PLUMMETING DOWN TO 3200FT BY TUESDAY MORNING, AND THEN 2400FT ON WEDNESDAY. THAT\u2019S PRETTY LOW. THAT MEANS POLLOCK PINES YOU ARE GOING TO SEE SNOW, IN FACT, UP TO A FOOT OF IT. BLUE CANYON COULD SEE UP TO THREE FEET OF SNOW. WE COULD EVEN SEE SNOW AROUND COLFAX. AT LEAST A LIGHT DUSTING. ANYWAY, DONNER SUMMIT COULD SEE UP TO FIVE FEET OF SNOW. SO TODAY IS THE DAY. LIKE I SAID, GET OUT THERE, RUN SOME ERRANDS, RAIN SHOWERS AND SNOW SHOWERS STARTING TOMORROW, BUT MONDAY AND TUESDAY ARE THE ALERT DAYS AND WEDNESDAY AN IMPACT DAY. LIKE I SAID, TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY IN THE SIERRA IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE. WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT FEET. FEET OF SNOW. SO IF YOU CAN AVOID TRAVEL THOSE REALLY STRONGLY ADVISED WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE CHAIN CONTROLS AND WILL LIKELY PROBABLY HAVE SOME CLOSURES ON 80 AND 50 AS WELL. ABSOLUTELY. MAYB\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
