It's a good idea to throw on warm layers, grab your umbrella and plan on giving yourself extra time to get where you're going or to avoid traveling at all as you get ready to head out the door Friday. A stronger area of low pressure off the coast will track through the West Coast from Friday through Saturday, and that will bring heavier rain and snow, and stronger southeast winds to northern California through Saturday evening. A Winter Storm Warning is set to stay in effect in the Sierra, southern Cascades and Shasta County Mountains through 10pm Saturday. Areas of Trinity and Siskiyou Counties will also be under a Winter Storm Warning from 8am Friday through 4pm Saturday. The Winter Storm Warnings are prompted by snowfall heavy enough to cause major travel impacts paired with strong south winds Friday into Saturday. Snow levels will be down to around 3000' in the Northern Mountains, and down to as low as 4000' in the Sierra. A Wind Advisory has now been issued for the valley from 10pm Friday through noon Saturday due to sustained southeast winds to 25mph and the potential for gusts up to 50mph during that time. Power outages and travel impacts will be possible due to the winds. We had a break from the showers for most of our region overnight, but heavier rain and snow will quickly spread across our entire region through mid morning Friday. Even heavier rain and snow is expected late today through early Saturday. Temperatures are starting out in the 40's to low 50's in the valley, 30's to 40's in the foothills, and 20's to mid 30's in our mountain zones this morning. Southeast winds to 25mph and gusts up to 50mph will be possible tonight. High temperatures will climb into the low to mid 50's in the valley, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and 30's to low 40's in our mountain zones Friday afternoon.

It's a good idea to throw on warm layers, grab your umbrella and give yourself extra time to get where you're going as you get ready to head out the door Monday. A cool and wet system off the coast will drive rain and snow showers, breezy south winds and cooler temperatures across northern California to start your work week. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the Sierra, southern Cascades and Shasta County Mountains through 4am Tuesday, and through 10pm Monday night in Trinity County. Skies have been cloudy overnight, and rain and snow has become widespread across our region to start your Monday. The most widespread showers are expected through mid-morning and then most showers will become limited to areas from Shasta County to the north, and in our higher elevations through your Monday. Scattered shower chances will then ramp back up from this afternoon through this evening in areas of the valley from Tehama County to the south. Shower chances then fizzle out tonight into early Tuesday. Temperatures have mostly dipped into the 40's in the valley, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and 30's in our mountain zones Monday morning. Winds will be out of the south to 15mph, and gusts up to 25mph will be possible today. High temperatures are projected to climb into the upper 40's to lower 50's in the valley, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and 30's to low 40's in our mountain zones Monday afternoon.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your sunglasses, and to give yourself extra time to get where you need to go as you get ready to take on your Thursday. High pressure off the coast and to our east will continue to act as a blocking pattern to keep our region dry through Friday. That blocking pattern will break down as high pressure shifts east, and wet systems approach the West Coast this weekend. We've had clear skies over our region overnight, but dense fog has become much more widespread to start the day. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the entire valley through noon Thursday. Poor visibility on our roads through the middle of the day will be the biggest impact on tap for your Thursday. Skies are clear overhead to start the day, but we'll have partly to mostly cloudy skies returning from this afternoon through this evening. Temperatures are starting out in the low to mid 40's in the valley, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and teens to 30's in our mountain zones early Thursday. Winds are projected to stay light through the day. High temperatures are projected to range from the mid 50's to low 60's in the valley and foothills, and 40's to mid 50's in most mountain areas later today.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your umbrella and give yourself extra time to get where you need to go as you get ready to head out the door Monday. High pressure to our east is briefly acting as a blocking pattern to leave our region dry overnight. Cool and wet systems off the coast will track towards the coast and bring rain and snow showers, and gusty south winds back to northern California from Monday afternoon through at least mid-day Christmas Eve. We've had mostly dry conditions overnight, but roads are still slick from the weekend's rain. Patchy areas of dense fog have also developed overnight into early Monday. Clouds will increase through the day and shower chances will return from this afternoon through this evening. Heavier rain and snow will arrive late Monday night and will be accompanied by gusty southeast winds.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, and for some of you to keep your umbrella handy as you get ready to head out the door Thursday. High pressure to our southwest and east will continue to act as a blocking pattern to keep most of our region dry, but wet systems to our northwest will also leave our northern zones with the chance for showers today. The wet and cooler systems off the coast will bring widespread showers and cooler temperatures to our forecast as they track inland to our north on Friday. We've had cloudy skies and very light scattered showers in parts of our region overnight. Shower chances are projected to be limited to areas of Shasta County to the north and west through the day today.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your sunglasses and secure loose items outside of your home as you get ready to head out the door Tuesday. High pressure to our west will act as a blocking pattern to keep our region dry, and low pressure to our southeast will drive breezy to gusty northeast winds through at least early Wednesday. High pressure will build inland leaving us with diminishing winds and a warming trend from Wednesday into Thursday. We'll then stay dry with more sunshine than clouds, and temperatures will remain above average from Friday through your weekend.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer and grab your sunglasses as you get ready to head out the door Friday. The ridge of high pressure off the coast that's been driving our dry and very warm conditions over the last few days is now further off the coast, but will still act as a blocking pattern to keep us mostly dry today. A cool and wet system tracking into the Pacific Northwest will leave us with a decent drop in temperatures today, and then the return of breezy to gusty northeast winds as it slides south towards Nevada from Friday night into this weekend.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your sunglasses and get your ice scraper handy as you get ready to head out the door Thursday. High pressure off the coast and to our east will continue to act as a blocking pattern to keep our region sunny and dry through this weekend. Weak low pressure tracking inland to our south will usher in a modest slide in temperatures and periods of breezy north winds from this weekend into early next week. Skies have stayed clear overnight, and will be sunny through your Thursday.
