The NorCal Weather Podcast

Good morning. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. See that gray ceiling overhead? It's already packing its bags. A cold front is sweeping through right now, but here's the surprise. It's bringing almost no rain. Maybe a few drops on your windshield this morning, but that's it. The real story today is what follows. In the next 24 hours. Temperatures sit at 50 degrees under overcast skies. But watch what happens next. That front clears by late morning. And the winds take over. Northwest winds ramp up to 15 miles an hour this afternoon, gusting to 25. You'll feel it along the coast and through the gaps. Down in the Central Valley. Sacramento hits 68 degrees this afternoon with lighter winds. The Bay Area tops out at 64. Not bad for early March — that's right about where we should be. Tonight brings a treat. Skies go clear. And the full moon rises over a quiet landscape. Lows drop to 48 in the Bay Area, 44 in the Valley. That crisp, dry air will feel refreshing after today's gusty finish. Thursday looks similar — sunny, 65 degrees, but those north winds keep howling. Gusts could hit 31 miles an hour in the Valley. Here's where it gets interesting. An offshore wind pattern sets up this weekend. That means warmth. Saturday hits 72 in the Bay Area, 74 in the Valley. Sunday? 73 and 75 respectively. We're talking 41 degrees to 41 degrees above normal for early March. Spring is knocking early. We're gaining nearly two and a half minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise at 6:35, sunset at 6:03. The spring equinox sits just two weeks away. But this weekend, it will feel like it's already here. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, walk outside right now and just. Breathe. That 54 degrees on your skin with clear skies overhead? That's a ridge of high pressure doing exactly what we love it to do. It's parked right over us, shoving every storm system north and letting the sun run the show. In the next 24 hours. The Bay Area tops out around 64 degrees today. Light west winds, 2 to 9 miles an hour. Barely enough to rustle a napkin. Tonight dips to 51 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Push inland to the Central Valley and you're the winner today. Sunny skies, highs near 70 degrees by mid afternoon. That's the kind of warmth that makes your lunch break feel like a mini vacation. Tonight settles to 48 degrees under mostly clear skies. Now enjoy this calm. Because it has an expiration date. A cold front slides through Wednesday. Not a drop of rain. The air is bone dry. But behind that front, high pressure builds fast and creates a serious pressure gradient. Translation? Wind. Real wind. Wednesday through Friday, the coast and higher terrain could see gusts over 40 miles an hour. The Bay Area catches gusts to 24 miles an hour Wednesday. The Valley ramps up to 30 miles an hour by Thursday. Secure anything loose in the yard before you go to bed tomorrow night. Then the plot twist. By the weekend, winds flip offshore and temperatures surge. We're talking low to mid 70s across the Valley Saturday. Sunday could touch 75 degrees. And Monday looks like the warmest day of all. Valley highs pushing near 78 degrees. Almost April weather in early March. Oh. And tonight? Full Moon. Skies clear out after some early evening clouds. Perfect excuse to step outside after dinner. I'll be tracking those winds all week for you. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. A sneaky little low pressure system is sliding through tonight. and it's painting two very different pictures across the region. Up in the northern Sacramento Valley and foothills, scattered showers and thunderstorms are popping off this evening. Some of those storms could bring frequent lightning and small hail. Nothing severe, but enough to make you look twice out the window. In the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Sierra is catching light snow above 7,000 feet. An inch or two at most. Barely a dusting by mountain standards. Now swing south to the Bay Area. You topped out around 63 degrees today under partly sunny skies. Enjoy that memory. Because light rain and drizzle creep in tonight, mainly north of the Golden Gate. It lingers into Monday morning. We're talking under a tenth of an inch. Lows settle near 53 degrees. More of a mist than a soaking. Over in the Central Valley, you had the easiest day of anyone. Mostly sunny, highs near 67 degrees. Tonight dips to 49 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Monday stays friendly with sunshine and highs around 65 degrees. The Bay Area clears by midday Monday, reaching 63 degrees after morning fog burns off. Now the week ahead is where things get interesting. Tuesday, high pressure muscles in. Sunshine returns everywhere. Wednesday, a quick weak system brushes the north with light showers possible. Then Thursday and Friday. That's the headline. North to east winds kick up and temperatures climb into the low 70s. Saturday looks even warmer. We're talking 70 to 74 degrees under blue skies. That's the kind of warmth that makes you forget it's still early March. If this podcast helps you plan your week, drop us a quick rating. Takes five seconds and means a lot. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. There's a big spinning low pressure system sitting about 500 miles off the coast right now. It's pulling cooler marine air straight at us. That's why you walked outside this morning into fog instead of sunshine. In the next 24 hours. If you're in the Bay Area, that patchy fog cuts visibility before 10 A.M. but it burns off by late morning. Temperatures climb into the low to mid 60s along the coast. Head inland to the Central Valley and you're looking at upper 60s to low 70s. Still plenty mild. We're running 44 degrees to 44 degrees above normal for early March. Now here's where it gets interesting. That low drifts closer tonight. Between midnight and 8 A.M. Monday, there's a chance of light rain across the North Bay and coastal areas. We're talking drizzle. Maybe a tenth of an inch. Enough to slick the roads for your Monday morning commute. but not enough to cancel anything. Overnight lows settle into the low 50s around the Bay. Upper 40s in the Central Valley. Monday morning fog and sprinkles taper off by mid morning. Highs bounce right back to the low to mid 60s at the coast, upper 60s inland. The week ahead tells a good story. Tuesday, high pressure muscles back in. Sunny skies, upper 60s. Wednesday brings one brief hiccup. A quick moving system clips northern areas with a slight chance of showers, then it's gone. Thursday and Friday? Offshore winds kick in with gusts up to 30 miles an hour through the hills. That pushes temperatures into the low 70s heading into next weekend. Perfect patio weather. Folks, this is the kind of early March stretch that makes you forget winter was ever a thing. Get outside and enjoy it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Right now. Northern California is soaking in 75 degrees under a quilt of overcast skies. Enjoy that warmth tonight. Because an upper level low is sliding in from the Pacific. and it's rewriting tomorrow's plans. In the next 24 hours. Here's the setup. That low pressure system pulls moisture onshore and cools everything down. Tonight stays mild and dry. but by Sunday afternoon, clouds thicken and temperatures drop. The Bay Area tops out near 62 degrees tomorrow. That's more than ten degrees cooler than today's 73. Light rain develops after 10 P.M. Sunday night, though most spots barely see a tenth of an inch. More of a mist than a soaking. Over in the Central Valley, you're the warm spot today. Highs hit 76 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Tonight dips to 54 degrees. Sunday stays drier with partly sunny skies and highs near 68. Not bad at all. The North Bay and coastal areas catch the best rain chances Sunday night into Monday morning. Everywhere else? Odds stay low. and by Monday afternoon, the sun punches back through like it never left. Now the week ahead tells a nice story. Monday kicks off a warming trend with mostly sunny skies and mid 60s. Tuesday and Wednesday keep climbing into the upper 60s. A weak system may flick a few sprinkles across the north Wednesday, but nothing worth canceling plans over. Thursday and Friday turn breezy with north winds picking up. Highs push near 70 degrees under blue skies. One more thing worth noting. The spring equinox is just two weeks out. Sunrise rolls in at 6:41 A.M., sunset stretches to 5:58 P.M. We're gaining almost two and a half minutes of daylight every single day now. You can feel winter losing its grip. I'll be tracking that Sunday system all night. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

Even warmer. Patchy fog burns off by mid-morning, then partly sunny with highs near 79 degrees. That's about 44 degrees to 44 degrees above normal for late February. Tonight, clouds roll in ahead of our next weather maker. Lows drop to 54 in the Bay Area and the Central Valley. Sunday tells a different story. An approaching low-pressure system brings cooler air and clouds. Bay Area highs fall to 62 degrees. The Central Valley cools to 68. There's a slight chance of rain late Sunday afternoon in the Valley, with a better chance Sunday night. Here's your five-day outlook. A brief cool-down Sunday and Monday with some light rain possible. Then high pressure rebuilds mid-week. Tuesday through Friday look sunny and mild with highs in the mid-60s to near 70.

That's pushing us 44 degrees to 44 degrees above normal for late February. In the next 24 hours. Down in the Bay Area, that gray ceiling burns off by mid morning. Then it's sunshine and 73 degrees. Patio coffee weather. Trailhead weather. The kind of Saturday you don't waste indoors. Tonight clouds creep back in with lows around 54.

It builds overnight, with the heaviest downpour landing right around 10 A.M. Tuesday. Rain is likely all morning and into the afternoon. You hit 65 degrees today near 3 P.M., then slide to 55 degrees by 2 A.M. Winds flip from southeast to west around 3 P.M., so tonight gets breezy. Tuesday's high only reaches 63 degrees. Rain lingers into Wednesday morning. Now swing inland to the Central Valley. You're catching a quick splash between 5 P.M. And 7 P.M. Tonight. That's about it. Lows dip to 54 degrees around 5 A.M., then temperatures bounce right back. You'll hit 70 degrees by 1 P.M. Tuesday. Wednesday? Sunny and 67 degrees. The Valley shrugs this one off. Here's what matters most. Snow levels climb to ten and eleven thousand feet. That means the Sierra gets rain, not snow. Great for travelers. Not great for burn scars. Flood watches are up for Mendocino, Lake. And Humboldt counties. Two to four inches of rain possible through Tuesday.

Snow levels stay sky high, so this is all rain, no mountain snow. The week ahead tells a better story. This storm is a quick punch. Wednesday the rain tapers and a warming trend takes over. The Bay Area rebounds to 64 Wednesday, 66 Thursday. The Central Valley? You'll flirt with 70 degrees by Friday. That feels like early spring knocking on the door. Air quality sits moderate today but the rain scrubs everything clean by Tuesday. Silver lining on a wet day. I'll be tracking this storm all night. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Northern California Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Folks, step outside right now and you'll feel a pleasant 48 degrees. Partly cloudy. Coffee weather. Enjoy it.. Because tonight's a different story. A storm is spinning offshore. And it's got its eyes on us. The Bay Area soaks up sunshine today, climbing to a gorgeous 66 degrees by afternoon. Then the rain sneaks in around 9 P.M. The heaviest stuff hammers down near 1 A.M. Lows settle to 50 degrees around 4 A.M. Winds flip from southeast to west by 3 P.M. Tomorrow, which is the storm waving goodbye. Now head inland to the Central Valley. You're looking at 69 degrees today. Almost spring. Rain catches up to you by 9 P.M. Too, peaking around 2 A.M. Lows drop to 43 degrees near 5 A.M. Then right back to 69 tomorrow afternoon. Here's the thing, though. Up in Mendocino, Humboldt. And Trinity counties, Flood Watches are active. Heavy rain could trigger flooding, rockslides. And greasy roads. If you're driving north tonight, slow down in those low lying areas. This isn't the night to test your tires. The week ahead tells a quick story. Rain clears Tuesday afternoon. Another round sneaks in Tuesday night. Then Wednesday dries out and the thermostat starts climbing. The Bay Area pushes 66 degrees by Thursday. The Central Valley flirts with 70. Weekend? Upper 60s to low 70s with sunshine. That warming trend feels like a promise. Sunrise today at 6:47 A.M. Sunset at 5:53 P.M. We're gaining two minutes and 25 seconds of daylight. Your evenings are getting longer whether you noticed or not. Charge your phone and grab an umbrella before bed tonight. You'll want both by midnight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Northern California Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, enjoy tonight. Because this quiet stretch has an expiration date. Right now you're sitting at a pleasant 63 degrees under partly cloudy skies. That's a solid rebound from this morning's 39 degree start. The Bay Area tops out around 64 degrees by 4 P.M. Before sliding to 50 overnight. Over in the Central Valley, you're even warmer. Hitting 66 degrees near 3 P.M., then dropping to 42 by dawn. Winds? Barely a whisper. Now here's where things get interesting. Monday starts calm enough. But after 10 P.M., a moisture loaded storm rolls in off the Pacific. This thing is tapping tropical humidity. Rain becomes likely across the Bay Area and steadier through the northern Central Valley. And this is warm rain. Snow levels rocket to 9,000 feet by Wednesday. That's bad news for our mountain snowpack. It's going to melt fast. Tuesday is the main event. Widespread rain blankets the region. The Bay Area picks up a quarter to half inch. The Central Valley sees lighter but persistent showers. Enough to push rivers up and turn low spots into puddles. Gusts reach 18 miles an hour in exposed areas. Messy commute, but nothing dangerous. Then Wednesday afternoon, the curtain drops. Skies start clearing. And the second half of the week? That's your reward for surviving the rain. Thursday through Saturday brings a warming, drying trend. Highs push into the upper 60s. The Central Valley flirts with low 70s by Friday. Saturday stays mostly cloudy and mild with just a slight chance of sprinkles. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is knocking. But don't retire that rain jacket. March always has one more trick. Charge your phone tonight and toss an umbrella by the door. You'll want both by Tuesday. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Northern California Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, enjoy this quiet afternoon while you can. Northern California is sitting pretty right now. Clear skies, 39 degrees this morning, sunshine everywhere. Soak up every drop of it. Because a serious storm is loading up off the Pacific coast. And it's headed straight for us. Let's talk about today first. Down in the Bay Area, you might have caught a sprinkle before 8 this morning. That's done. Sun's running the show now, pushing you to 64 degrees right around 2 P.M. Winds are gentle, maybe 8 miles an hour from the south. Tonight those skies go partly cloudy. Lows settle near 49 degrees. You'll feel the wind shift southeast around 10 P.M. That's the storm knocking. Head inland to the Central Valley and it's even nicer. Mostly sunny, topping out at 66 degrees by 4 P.M. Here's something odd. Temperatures actually rise overnight to 44 degrees. Warm air sliding in ahead of that storm. Now the main event. Monday night, an atmospheric river takes aim. Heavy rain hits the Bay Area after 10 P.M. Monday, with lows near 55 degrees. Tuesday it's a soaker. Highs only 63 degrees with steady, persistent rain. The Central Valley gets hammered Tuesday night into Wednesday. Gusts hit 20 miles an hour. Rain totals approach half an inch. If you're near creeks in the North Bay or northern Sacramento Valley, watch for rising water Tuesday night. The week ahead tells a dramatic story. Monday stays dry until late. Tuesday and Wednesday bring the heaviest rain. Then everything flips. Thursday the sun returns. By Friday you're looking at upper 60s, maybe touching 70 degrees. That's nearly 42 degrees above normal. Almost feels like the storm buys us an early taste of spring. One more thing worth celebrating. Sunrise hit 6:49 this morning. We're gaining daylight fast. Charge your devices and clear those storm drains before Tuesday. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Gentle breeze. It's gorgeous. And it's a trick. A serious storm system is loading up offshore, and by tomorrow night, things get real. But today? Today is your gift. The Bay Area climbs to 63 degrees by 2 P.M. Under partly sunny skies. Perfect for a long walk, a farmers market run, whatever you've been putting off. Over in the Central Valley, you're even warmer. Highs near 66 degrees. Honestly, it feels more like April than February out there. Now here's where the plot thickens. Tonight, winds shift from south to southeast around 10 P.M. That's the storm knocking on the door. A slight chance of rain hits the Bay Area around 6 A.M. Monday. Just enough to slick up your commute. But Monday night after 10? Rain locks in and doesn't quit through Tuesday. Tuesday is the main event. An atmospheric river takes aim at the North Bay and coastal mountains. Rainfall rates could overwhelm drainage systems. We're talking flooding in low lying areas, slick roads, even shallow landslides. If you're in a flood prone spot, clear those gutters today while it's dry. The Bay Area picks up a quarter to half an inch. The Valley stays lighter, a tenth to a quarter inch. Here's what the rest of the week looks like. Wednesday, showers taper off. Thursday, sunshine returns like an old friend. And by Friday into the weekend? Temperatures jump 40 degrees above normal. Highs near 70 in the Valley. Upper 60s along the Bay. That kind of warmth will make Tuesday's storm feel like a distant memory. One more thing. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:49, sunset at 5:52. The days are stretching, and that feels good. Quick favor. If you're enjoying these forecasts, share us with a friend or drop a rating. It really helps. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
