Northern California is gearing up for a rollercoaster of weather this weekend, and it’s safe to say that Mother Nature might have a few surprises in store. Saturday starts off with a blanket of clouds and a refreshing westerly breeze, lowering temperatures by about 5 to 10 degrees compared to Friday. Outdoor plans around Lake Tahoe? You might want to pack those raincoats, because Sunday is forecasted to deliver scattered thunderstorms that could quickly turn from a sprinkle to a storm.
By midday on Sunday, expect those downpours to ramp up, peaking with heavy thunderstorms between 2 and 4 PM. If you thought your weekend was going to be smooth sailing, think again! The Valley and Foothills will stay dry but cool, reaching only the low 70s—a perfect excuse to cozy up with some hot chocolate.
But wait, there’s more! Monday looks to follow up with an even broader chance of rain, especially for those in the Valley, Foothills, and Sierra. And just when you think it can’t get more interesting, there’s even a chance of slushy snow at the higher elevations. Bundle up, enjoy the fleeting sunshine when you can, and keep an eye out for those unexpected thunderstorms—after all, this is NorCal, where the weather loves to keep us guessing!
