BOY, IT IS GOING TO BE WARM. I THINK BORDERLINE HOT THIS WEEKEND. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW WHAT\u2019S INTERESTING? USUALLY IN EARLY MAY IS TYPICALLY WHEN WE SEE OUR FIRST 90 DEGREE DAY OF THE YEAR, AROUND MAY 8TH TO BE EXACT. SO IT\u2019S COMING IN RIGHT ON CUE, CONSIDERING THAT TODAY, OF COURSE, IS THE EIGHTH. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AS I TAKE YOU INTO RANCHO CORDOVA, A LITTLE BIT OF LOW CLOUD DECK OUT THERE. AND WE WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE LOW CLOUDS AROUND THE VALLEY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND THEN CLEARING BY LATE MORNING TEMPERATURES UNDERNEATH THAT LITTLE BIT OF A DELTA BREEZE AND SOME LOW CLOUDS, LOWER 50S IN SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON. IT\u2019S 55 RIGHT NOW. MODESTO 31 CURRENTLY IN LAKE TAHOE. AND THERE\u2019S A NICE AND SHARP, STEADY DELTA BREEZE COMING ACROSS FAIRFIELD HERE AT TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE. SUSTAINED WINDS 24MPH. FREQUENT GUSTS UP TO OVER 30. A LITTLE BIT OF A TASTE OF THAT SOUTH BREEZE IS COMING INTO SACRAMENTO, AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A SOUTH WIND AS WELL, FLOATING ACROSS STOCKTON. IT IS GOING TO BE A BRIGHT AND VERY WARM WEEKEND, SO BRACE FOR THE HEAT AND THEN SPRING HEAT IS REALLY GOING TO PEAK EARLY NEXT WEEK. AND THAT\u2019S WHEN WE COULD SEE POTENTIAL FOR SOME RECORDS TO FALL MONDAY, POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY. LET ME TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER SET UP HERE. MOST OF YOUR ACTIVE WEATHER, YOU CAN SEE EXPANDING HERE ALONG THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ALONG THE VANCOUVER COAST. WHILE OUR FORECAST HERE IS QUIET, BUT THAT BUDDING MARINE AIR IS CERTAINLY THERE. IF YOU\u2019RE GOING TO SPEND TIME IN THE BAY AREA, ESPECIALLY TODAY, AS IT\u2019S GOING TO BE STUBBORN TO BREAK UP A BIT, WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY HIGH PRESSURE, PRETTY MUCH THE DOMINANT FEATURE TAKING CENTER STAGE AS IT STARTS TO ENHANCE THE WARMING. IT IS GOING TO EXPAND MUCH LIKE YOU WOULD FILL AIR INTO A BALLOON. IT\u2019S EXPANDING HERE AS WE LOOK OFF INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST, ESPECIALLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AND THOSE WILL BE THE HOTTEST DAYS. LOOKING AHEAD TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST, THIS SYSTEM, THOUGH, OFF THE COAST BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON, GETS READY TO PREP AND APPROACH OUR AREA AS WE GO THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THAT WILL ENHANCE THE DELTA BREEZE AND ALLOW THOSE TEMPERATURES TO DROP OFF. SO EVEN THOUGH WE ARE HEADING INTO SOME BUILDING HEAT, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND, IT\u2019S NOT GOING TO LAST ALL THAT LONG INTO NEXT WEEK. SO IN THE FOOTHILLS, UPPER 70S TODAY WILL JUMP INTO THE LOW 80S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 90 EXPECTED ON MONDAY. WE\u2019RE STILL PRETTY TOASTY AT 88 TUESDAY AND IN THE SIERRA. SHOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND, ESPECIALLY IF MOM SAYS, I\u2019D LIKE TO GO OUT ON THE BOAT ON LAKE TAHOE LOOKING GOOD FOR THAT. WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT LOWER 80S IN THE SIERRA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND FOR THE VALLEY. HERE WE GO. FIRST 90 OF THIS YEAR FOR SACRAMENTO, SLATED FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THOSE ARE TOUGH TO LOOK AT. OUCH.
