SUNNY AND DRY! 37°F 6:30 AM Hey hey Giovanni here.  Sunny and bright today as High pressure keeps the storm track out of our area. Expect today's daytime highs in the mid 50s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 30s.

Dry weather is expected through Friday but all that all changes this weekend as another wet weather pattern arrives. Showers and Sierra snow look to develop on Saturday. This will only bring us a chance of showers and Sierra snow. This wet weather pattern looks to peak Sunday and Monday as a strong cold front drops south along the coast and into NorCal bringing us moderate rain and heavy snow above 4500ft. Snow levels may drop to around 3000ft in the heavier showers, with some accumulation possible. *Please note that these spring storms tend to be erratic with arrival times, strength and duration. Also, the warmer longer spring days means rapid snow melt is likely for the lower elevations.  

Long range forecast models look to dry us out after the 2nd week of April as spring ramps up and warmer dry weather dominates.
