STILL WARM AND DRY! 47°F 6:30 AM Hey hey Giovanni here. Another and beautiful day as High pressure maxes out today. High clouds at times will beauty to the sky, but no rain again today. Expect today's daytime highs in the low 60s with overnight lows in the low to mid 40s.

Saturday will start out dry and remain sunny, but a pattern change is in the works late Saturday as the storm I mentioned yesterday looks stronger as it appears a sharp cold front is likely to pass through the foothills and Sierra bringing us a wintry mix or snow on Sunday, through the afternoon hours. While this cold front won't be very moist, it will have a lot of cold air and decent dynamics that may produce snow flurries as low as GV/NC (2500ft). Little to no accumulation is expected in town, but don't be surprised if the outlying areas see a dusting of snow. Next week looks to start out dry and cooler, but another warmer and dry pattern shift looks likely by midweek.


The long range forecast looks to remain dry and warmer well into February. Next chance of rain may not materialize until the second week of February.
