It's a good idea to open up your windows, throw on a warm extra layer over light clothing and grab your sunglasses as you get ready to head out the door Tuesday. High pressure lingering across the southwest will keep us dry, mostly sunny and warm Tuesday. Cooler systems off the coast will track inland to our north, and drive a very decent cooling trend and the potential for showers back into our region on Wednesday. That system will slide southeast, and will continue to drive the potential for showers in our higher elevations while also driving stronger north winds across the valley Thursday. Gusty north winds and dry conditions will result in elevated fire danger late this week, and a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for the valley from 11am Thursday through 8pm Friday.

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. Scattered showers are possible early this morning, but we'll have clearing skies and dry conditions for the rest of the day. Gusty north winds and dry conditions will drive high fire danger from today into your weekend. Temperatures will end up cooler today, but slowly warm into Saturday. Milder conditions return for the latter half of your weekend and will persist into early next week.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, secure loose items outside of your home, and grab your sunglasses as you get ready to head out the door Thursday. The cool system that brought our gusty north winds and limited showers Wednesday is now off to our northeast, and will continue to drive gusty north winds through the middle of the day. Winds will then diminish this afternoon as that system tracks further east. Weak areas of high pressure will drive dry conditions, chilly mornings and mild afternoons from Friday through Saturday. A stronger wet and cool system will then track into the West Coast late Saturday into Sunday, and that will usher in a cooling trend and widespread shower chances across northern California for the latter half of 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. High pressure along the West Coast will drive dry conditions and mild high temperatures while a trough off the coast pushes cloudy skies across our region through mid-day Friday. Sunny skies and pleasant conditions are on tap for the afternoon. We'll have similar to modestly warmer temperatures and mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies on Saturday. A cool system off the coast will track inland to our north late Saturday into early Sunday, and that will usher in cloudy skies, a cooling trend and the potential for showers across northern California for the latter half of your weekend. We'll end up even cooler with limited showers lingering Monday. Chilly mornings, dry conditions and cool afternoons are on tap from Tuesday into Wednesday and then shower chances are expected to return on Halloween next week.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer over warmer clothing, and keep your sunglasses handy as you get ready to head out the door Monday. Cool and wet systems tracking east through the Pacific Northwest will continue to leave us with partly cloudy skies, the potential for scattered showers and cool temperatures Monday. We'll have a chilly morning, mostly sunny skies and a modestly warmer afternoon Tuesday as we're in between wet systems. Then more wet systems will track through the Pacific Northwest bringing more cloudy skies, cool temperatures and shower chances to our region from Wednesday into your weekend. Clearing skies and a modest warming trend are expected from Sunday into early next week.

It's a good idea to bundle up, grab your sunglasses and dig out your umbrella as you get ready to head out the door Wednesday. A strong cool and wet system centered in the Gulf of Alaska will bring cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, gusty south winds, and increasing rain and snow chances back into your forecast today. The potential for mountain snow has prompted a Winter Weather Advisory to be issued for the Northern Sierra down to 6000' from 11pm Wednesday through 5pm Thursday. 3" to 6" of snow will be possible down to 5000', and snow levels could dip to as low as 4500'. Showers will become more scattered for your Halloween forecast on Thursday, with the best chance for showers lingering in our higher elevations and the far northern zones of the valley. A more potent band of moisture will then bring heavier rain and snow back into our forecast on Friday, and that is expected to fizzle out through Saturday. High pressure will then rebuild across our region driving dry conditions, sunny skies, a modest warming trend and breezy to gusty north winds from Sunday into early next week.

It's a good idea to bundle up and get your umbrella handy as you get ready to head out the door to take on your Friday. A cool and wet system tracking into the Pacific Northwest will drive cloudy skies, cool temperatures, and rain and snow showers returning across northern California today. We'll have some lingering showers from that system on Saturday, but will dry out and clear out through your weekend as high pressure rebuilds across our region. Breezy to gusty north winds will be possible in the wake of the wet system as it tracks east Sunday into early next week. We'll then have dry weather, fluctuating cloud cover, and modestly warmer afternoons from the start to middle of next week.

It's a good idea to throw on a warm extra layer, secure loose items outside of your home and grab your sunglasses as you get ready to head out the door Wednesday. Cool systems to our east will continue to drive strong north winds, and high pressure building into northern California from the Pacific will leave us with sunshine and very dry conditions today. The strong winds are expected to persist through the day with the strongest winds projected through early this afternoon. A Red Flag Warning for high fire danger is set to remain in effect for the valley from Butte and Glenn Counties to the south through 4pm Wednesday because of the strong winds and very dry conditions. A Wind Advisory is also in effect for those same areas through 6pm Wednesday evening. Sustained winds to 25mph out of the north, and gusts up to 45mph are possible today. The strong winds paired with the low humidity values will leave us with the potential for easy fire starts and rapid fire spread. Gusty winds will also bring the potential for travel impacts and power outages from down trees. Temperatures have dipped into the 40's to mid 50's in the valley, 30's to upper 40's in the foothills and 20's to 30's in our mountain zones early Wednesday morning. High temperatures are projected to climb into the upper 60's to mid 70's in the valley, 50's to mid 60's in the foothills, 40's to mid 50's in the Sierra, and 50's to mid 60's in the Northern Mountains Wednesday afternoon.

It's a good idea to bundle up and grab your sunglasses as you get ready to head out the door Friday. We have a colder morning, sunny to mostly sunny skies and a pleasant afternoon on tap for today. We'll have cloudy skies, milder mornings and similar afternoons this weekend. Wet and cooler conditions are set to return to our region from late weekend into early next week, and more shower chances are ahead in your extended forecast.

It's a good idea to throw on warm layers, grab your umbrella and give yourself extra time to get where you need to go before you head out the door for your Veterans Day. A cool and wet system tracking into the Pacific Northwest will drive gusty south winds, rain and snow, the potential for thunderstorms and cooler temperatures across northern California in your Veterans Day forecast. Cloudy skies and gusty south winds have been observed overnight, and rain and snow chances will be ramping up into your Monday morning. The heaviest rain and snow is expected between 7am and noon across the valley, and then the threat of thunderstorm activity will ramp up this afternoon. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for portions of the Sierra down to 6500' due to the potential for snowfall heavy enough to cause travel impacts. Snow levels could dip to as low as 4500'. Rainfall rates could be heavy enough to cause some localized flooding or debris flows in areas around the Park Fire burn scar. Temperatures are starting out in the 50's to low 60's in the valley, and 40's to lower 50's in our foothill and mountain zones this morning. Winds will be out of the south to 25mph and gusts up to around 35mph will be possible this morning. Winds will still be very breezy but will taper off after mid-morning. High temperatures will range from the 50's to low 60's in the valley, and 40's to mid 50's in our foothill and mountain areas Monday afternoon.
