<\/p>\nNorthern California forecast: Warm end to February<\/p>\n
Near record high temperatures and a chance for showers for some of Northern California on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTIME FOR KCRA 3 WEATHER. NOW LET\u2019S GET A CHECK OF OUR FORECAST FOR TODAY WITH METEOROLOGIST KELLY CURRAN. HOW\u2019S IT LOOKING RIGHT NOW, KELLY? HERE\u2019S A VISUAL. LOOK AT THAT SNOWPACK. AND YES, WE CERTAINLY NEED QUITE A BIT MORE. DOESN\u2019T LOOK LIKE WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE PICKING UP MUCH IF ANYTHING THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THERE\u2019S SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE RAIN AND IT\u2019S GOING TO BE PRETTY HIGH. SO THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO WHERE WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKIES, 57 DEGREES. THAT\u2019S THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE ALREADY. WINDS ARE CALM. NO MAJOR ISSUES FOR US THERE. YOU ARE GOING TO NOTICE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER HUMIDITY FOR TODAY. WE DO HAVE SOME SHOWERS, EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO POP UP TODAY. NOW WE HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN NEAR YUBA CITY. LIGHT SHOWERS SPRINKLES. THE BULK OF THE ACTION THOUGH IS GOING TO STAY WELL TO OUR NORTH AND AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE COMING DAYS, AS YOU\u2019RE ABOUT TO SEE IN FUTURECAST, THERE\u2019S A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT WE COULD SEE SOME ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE SIERRA. NOW LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURECAST SETTING THIS IN MOTION. HEADING THROUGH THE INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. YOU REALLY IN OUR VIEWING AREA? JUST GOING TO SEE INCREASING CLOUDS SHOWERS AGAIN STAYING MUCH FURTHER TO THE NORTH. THEN WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT MORE OF THE SAME AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. MAYBE YOU WANT TO HEAD OUT FOR BRUNCH. IT\u2019S ACTUALLY LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THERE\u2019S GOING TO BE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER BUT STILL MILD. NOTICE THOUGH. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY AROUND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THEN YOU HEAD DOWN TOWARD MAMMOTH LAKES AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. NOW, SNOW LEVELS ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY HIGH TODAY. AROUND 9000FT, AROUND 8000FT ON SUNDAY AND AROUND 7000FT ON MONDAY. NOW, AS WE GET INTO THE END OF SUNDAY AGAIN, STILL SEEING THAT POSSIBILITY FOR SHOWERS IN THE SIERRA. BUT MONDAY WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS POPPING UP IN THE FOOTHILLS AND THE SIERRA. AND THEN WE GET INTO TUESDAY AND THINGS START TO DRY BACK OUT. THERE IS THAT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS FOR TODAY. AGAIN, NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING SEVERE, AND MOST OF IT IS GOING TO STAY A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT THE TEMPERATURES BECAUSE THAT\u2019S BEEN PRETTY WILD. YESTERDAY WE GOT UP TO 74 IN SACRAMENTO. TODAY\u2019S FORECAST HIGH 77. THE RECORD FOR TODAY IS 76 SET IN 1889. SO WE MAY VERY WELL BREAK A RECORD TODAY. STOCKTON I DON\u2019T THINK YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BREAK THE RECORD. THE RECORD IS 83. MODESTO IS GOING TO BE CLOSE WITH A FORECAST HIGH OF 78 AND THE RECORD OF 80 AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE ONLY TWO DEGREES SHY OF THAT RECORD AS WELL. NOW FOR THE REGIONAL FORECAST HERE FOR THE FOOTHILLS. HIGHS TODAY, LOW 70S TOMORROW, LOW 60S AGAIN. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. I WOULD NOT GET RID OF YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS THOUGH. JUST KEEP AN EYE OUT OF THE SKY. MAKE SURE THAT THERE\u2019S A SHELTER NEARBY FOR THE SIERRA AGAIN. SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS THIS WEEKEND, TEMPERATURES COOLING OFF AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY IN SACRAMENTO. I DO EXPECT TO SEE DRY CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD, BUT TODAY\u2019S HIGH 77 TOMORROW. LIKE I SAID, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE COOLER 68, BUT THAT\u2019S STILL ABOVE NORMAL. THE NORMAL HIGH FOR TODAY\u2019S DATE IS 64, SO I HAVE A FEELING THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE ENJOYING THE NICE WEATHER\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
