As the temperatures shift from the cold of yesterday to a milder day today, Meteorologist Tamara Berg provides a detailed outlook on the weather, particularly focusing on the changes happening in the coming days. The past day presented challenges with colder conditions, prompting many residents to don jackets, as temperatures hovered in the 40s. However, a change is on the horizon, and today promises to bring a slight increase in warmth alongside some interesting weather developments.
This morning, fog blankets many areas, particularly affecting visibility in regions like Solano County and parts of the Sierra Nevada. With current temperatures in the upper 40s across cities such as Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto, and even cooler conditions where freezing fog is forming, travelers should exercise caution. South Lake Tahoe is currently experiencing colder temperatures at 25 degrees, creating challenging travel conditions due to low visibility.
As travelers navigate through the area, the fog seems particularly dense around Yuba City, and those heading towards the Bay Area may encounter further complications. For higher elevations like Roseville, Rocklin, and Loomis, the forecast suggests that conditions will improve slightly thanks to their elevation, resulting in partial clarity above the fog layer.
Daily Forecast
Looking ahead to the rest of the day, expect overcast skies until lunchtime, with possibilities of sun breaking through later in the afternoon. The forecast indicates high temperatures reaching the upper 50s, marking a warming trend compared to the previous day. In the foothills, above the fog line, the weather looks even more favorable, with highs likely to reach into the low to mid-60s.
If you’re planning to travel across the Sierra passes, it’s shaping up to be a good day with no expected weather disruptions. Temperatures in Truckee and Tahoe will peak in the low 50s. Although travelers can enjoy dry conditions today, they should be aware that changes are approaching quickly this weekend.
Upcoming Weather Changes
Come Saturday, light showers are expected to regularly sweep through the area, bringing rain to the lower elevations and snow primarily at elevations above 6,500 feet. While rain may present some minor interruptions for weekend travel, it should not significantly hamper conditions. Travelers crossing the Sierra passes this weekend should anticipate only minor impacts from slushy snow.
On Sunday, we can expect a mix of brief morning showers and, later in the day, generally dry conditions. As we move into Monday, watch for increased rainfall, primarily affecting the north coast early in the day, with that rain moving southward into the central valley and the Sierra by Tuesday.
Christmas Eve stands to be marked by more significant weather developments, with the potential for impactful weather returning to the Sierra region. Travelers in the area should remain vigilant and prepared for shifting conditions.
As we look at the extended forecast, the active weather pattern beginning Saturday will escalate, with Tuesday being poised for the most notable impacts. Whether for holiday travel or daily commutes, staying informed will be key in navigating the changing weather landscape efficiently and safely.
In summary, while today’s weather is warming slightly and bringing some sun to the region, it heralds the start of a more dynamic weather pattern. Those planning to hit the roads should remain aware and prepared for what lies ahead in the coming days.
