The jet stream has been rerouted between two areas of high pressure, one of which is helping to build up the warmth locally this weekend. As a result, its dip just off the coast of California will put it in a favorable position to open the door to more active weather for the Golden State over the coming week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"KBAK\/KBFX\" class=\"ImageEmbed_image__qZBo_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2d652a09-2ae7-48cf-8088-e24ed78831ec-storm.JPG\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere could potentially become unstable as a result of colder air in the mid and upper levels contrasting with warmer conditions closer to the ground.
