URGENT UPDATE: Northern California is set to experience a significant weather shift today, as morning fog dissipates, paving the way for afternoon sunshine. A light northerly wind will help clear the fog, resulting in brighter skies and temperatures soaring to around 50 degrees in the Valley.
As the day progresses, conditions will be cool but calm in the foothills, with temperatures peaking in the upper 40s. In the Sierra, however, residents can expect a chilly day, with highs only reaching the 30s.
Looking ahead, high pressure is expected to settle over the region, which may lead to more pronounced morning fog in the coming days. Overall, temperatures will hover in the low 50s, and the weather will remain quiet through New Year’s Eve.
However, a potential storm system is causing uncertainty for the holiday weekend. Weather models are currently divided on the timing and trajectory of this next weather event. Some forecasts indicate an earlier, more northward push of moisture, which could result in a wet New Year’s Eve. Conversely, other models suggest the system may arrive later, allowing for dry conditions on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Residents are urged to stay tuned for further updates as forecasters refine their predictions. The changing weather could significantly impact holiday plans, highlighting the importance of staying informed.
This evolving weather situation underscores the need for preparedness as families and friends gather to celebrate the New Year. Keep an eye on local forecasts to ensure you are ready for whatever Mother Nature may bring.
