It’s hot now but forecast models have taken an interesting turn for early next week. Will it rain? Dirk and Heather sort out what’s going on in today’s weather chat.<\/p>\n

\"Heather<\/a><\/p>\n

Near-record heat is in the forecast for a few more days across California, but a big cool-down is coming for the weekend. <\/p>\n

The question now is: will it be cool and dry with a north breeze? Or will it be cool and damp with clouds and a chance for rain?<\/p>\n

Dirk and Heather talk through what forecast models are currently showing in today’s weather chat. You can watch the full conversation in the video above or head to the KCRA 3 YouTube channel. <\/p>\n

These weather chats are also uploaded twice weekly to KCRA’s free streaming app called Very Local. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s hot now but forecast models have taken an interesting turn for early next week.
