It's a good idea to throw on warm layers, grab your sunglasses and give yourself extra time to get where you're going as you get ready to head out the door Tuesday. The cool and wet system that's brought our unsettled weather over the last week is now tracking inland to our north, and will bring the potential for limited scattered showers to our region today. Most showers are expected to stay in our higher elevations, but very limited scattered shower activity will be possible in the valley. The Winter Storm Warning is still set to stay in effect for the west slopes of the Sierra down to 5500' through 4am Wednesday due to the potential for enough snowfall to cause travel impacts through that time. Clouds have been clearing across the valley, but cloudy skies and scattered showers have persisted in our mountain zones overnight. There is a decent chance for rapid patchy fog development in the valley this morning. Temperatures are starting out in the 40's to low 50's in the valley, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and 30's in most mountain zones Tuesday morning. Winds will be out of the south to around 10mph today. High temperatures are projected to climb into the mid 50's to low 60's in the valley, upper 30's to low 50's in the foothills, mid 30's to mid 40's in the Sierra, and mid to upper 40's in the Northern Mountains Tuesday afternoon. Skies will clear tonight, and shower chances will fizzle out in the Sierra later tonight.

It's a good idea to bundle up, grab your sunglasses and get your ice scraper handy as you get ready to head out the door Wednesday. The cool and wet system that brought our very wet and cool weather over the last week has now fizzled out, and high pressure is building into northern California in it's wake. This will drive clear to sunny skies, dry conditions, colder mornings, and milder afternoons on the way from today through early next week. Skies have cleared out overnight, and we'll be left with sunny skies today. North winds are preventing much fog from developing and are also keeping portions of the valley from getting as cold as others to start the day. Temperatures are starting out in the 30's to mid 40's in the valley, 30's to low 40's in the foothills, and teens to low 30's in our mountain zones this morning. Frost is likely across our higher elevations, and is also an issue in the valley and foothills to start the day. You may need an extra couple of minutes to scrape your windshield or heat up your car before you head out on the road this morning. Winds are expected to be out of the north to 10mph, and gusts up to 25mph are possible today. High temperatures are projected to climb into the upper 50's to lower 60's in the valley, 40's to mid 50's in the foothills and Northern Mountains, and upper 30's to mid 40's in the Sierra this afternoon. Temperatures will drop rapidly once the sun sets without a blanket of clouds overhead to trap in the heat.

It's a good idea to throw on warm layers, grab your sunglasses and keep your ice scraper handy as you get ready to head out the door Monday. High pressure off the coast is continuing to act as a blocking pattern to keep our region dry, and drive more sunshine and milder temperatures across our region this week. Skies have stayed clear overnight, but some clouds will track north into our region today. We'll have partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies overhead, and will be staying dry today. There is potential for limited frost and fog developing early this morning. Temperatures are starting out in the 30's to low 40's in the valley, 30's to upper 40's in the foothills, and 20's to lower 30's in our mountain zones this morning. We'll have light winds out of the northeast through the day. High temperatures are projected to range from around 62 to 68 degrees in the valley, 50's to mid 60's in the foothills, and upper 40's to upper 50's in our mountain zones Monday afternoon.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your sunglasses and give yourself a little extra time to get where you need to go before you head out the door Tuesday. High pressure is dominating the weather pattern across the West Coast, and will drive sunny skies, dry conditions and very mild afternoons through the next week. Skies have remained clear overnight, and we'll have sunny skies overhead through the day. There is the potential for patchy areas of dense fog to start your morning, but that should all burn off by mid morning. We'll also have the potential for frost along I-5 in the valley and in our higher elevations to start the day. Temperatures are ranging from the mid 30's along I-5 in the valley to the mid 40's in valley areas of Butte County, 30's to mid 40's in the foothills, and 20's in most mountain areas to start the day. North winds to 10mph will be possible. High temperatures are projected to climb into the mid 60's in the valley, 50's to mid 60's in the foothills, and 50's in most mountain zones Tuesday afternoon.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer and grab your sunglasses, and not a bad idea to give yourself a little extra time to get where you need to go before you head out the door Wednesday. High pressure off the coast and to our north will keep our region sunny, dry and pleasant Wednesday. Dry and pleasant conditions will persist late week with a modest increase in clouds. We've had clear skies overnight, and will have sunny skies through today. There is a decent chance for patchy areas of dense fog to develop in areas of the valley from Butte County to the south, and in the Northern Mountains early today. Frost is likely in our mountain zones, and possible across the valley this morning. Temperatures are ranging from the mid 30's to mid 40's in the valley, upper 30's to low 50's in the foothills, and teens to 20's in our mountain zones this morning. Northeast winds to 10mph will be possible. High temperatures are projected to climb into the 63 to 68 degree range in the valley, upper 50's to mid 60's in the foothills, and upper 40's to around 60 degrees in our higher elevations Wednesday afternoon.

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 Thursday. High pressure off the coast to our southwest and to our north are acting as a blocking pattern and will keep our region dry and mild, but clouds are increasing overnight into early today from a weak trough off the coast. Frost is still likely in our mountain zones, and dense fog has returned to Trinity County overnight. Fog will also be possible in the valley, but is limited to areas from Butte County to the south. Clouds have increased overnight and we have a mostly cloudy start to your Thursday. Skies will then clear out by noon, and we'll have sunny skies later today. Temperatures are milder than the last few mornings early today. We have upper 30's to mid 40's in the valley, 40's in most foothill areas, and 20's to lower 30's in our mountain zones this morning. Winds will be light through the day, but will pick up to around 10mph out of the north this evening. Gusts up to 20mph will be possible tonight into early Friday. High temperatures are projected to climb into the mid to upper 60's in the valley, 50's to mid 60's in the foothills, and upper 40's to low 60's in our mountain zones this afternoon.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, grab your sunglasses and have your ice scraper handy as you get ready to head out the door Tuesday. High pressure will continue to leave northern California with dry and mild conditions Tuesday, but low pressure off the coast will drive increasing cloud cover over our region today. The cool and wet system off the coast will bring a cooling trend and showers to our forecast from Wednesday afternoon through late this week, and more cool and wet systems will bring more below average temperatures and wet weather to your forecast through at least early next week. Skies have remained clear overnight, but we'll have partly to mostly cloudy skies overhead by this afternoon. We'll stay dry despite the increasing cloud cover. Temperatures are mostly starting out in the mid 30's to low 40's in the valley, but downslope north winds have kept Redding in the low 50's. We're starting out in the 30's to low 40's in the foothills, and teens to low 20's in our higher elevations this morning. Winds are out of the north to 10mph but will become weaker through the day. High temperatures are projected to climb into the upper 50's to around 60 degrees in the valley, 50's in the foothills, and 40's for most mountain zones Tuesday afternoon.

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.
