TODAY'S FORECAST - SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS THEN CLEARING! 38°F 6:00AM

SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS THEN CLEARING! 38°F 6:00AM Hey hey Giovanni here. A few showers are possible this morning before we begin to clear out as the trough that brought us the showers is well to our south. We won't be warming up much today, but at we will be dry. Today's temps may reach the mid 50s with overnight lows in the high 30s.

Friday looks to start out mostly sunny with another chance of rain developing by mid day as a system drops down over NorCal. Rain and snow above 4500ft are expected to be light as this system clears on Saturday The forecast gets tricky again on Monday as an Atmospheric River attempts to consolidate over NorCal. This weather pattern may bring us some good rain amounts and heavy snow to the Sierra above 6000ft through Wednesday if it pulls together. I'll have more on that soon.

The long range forecast still looks wet off and on as we approach the end of March. April now looks to start out dry with a significant warming period. Have an amazing Thursday!
