CLICK ON THE EXPLORE OUTDOORS TAB TAB IN THE MAIN DROP DOWN MENU. IT IS 618 TAMARA BERG IS BACK HERE TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS WEATHER IMPACT DAY. YEAH, YOU KNOW IMPACTFUL ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE DOING A TRAVEL. AND I KNOW THAT’S A POPULAR AREA TO GO PAST THE SAN LUIS RESERVOIR. IF YOU’RE GOING TOWARDS, LET’S SAY MONTEREY COUNTY OR EVEN INTO THE SALINAS AREA AND THE SALINAS VALLEY RIGHT NOW, WE’VE GOT A NICE LOOK OUTSIDE IN DOWNTOWN AS SKIES ARE JUST FILLING IN WITH THE CLOUDS. NO RAIN YET HERE IN THE CAPITAL CITY, BUT AGAIN, AS THE HOURS GO BY, THE CHANCES WILL START TO INCREASE RIGHT NOW IN THE CAPITAL CITY, WE’RE WAKING UP TO 48 DEGREES. WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES THAT WILL ONLY BE REACHING THE MID AND UPPER 50S FOR TODAY. AND ALSO NOTICE THE WIND, BECAUSE WHILE THE WINDS ARE LIGHT RIGHT NOW, THEY WILL BE INCREASING A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WE GO THROUGH SOME OF THE STEADIER RAIN BANDS EXPECTED AROUND THREE, 4 OR 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL RAMP UP IN THAT 15 TO CLOSER TO 20 MILE PER HOUR RANGE, COMING UP OUT OF THE SOUTH IN THE FOOTHILLS, FORECAST YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO OUTSIDE. WALK THE DOG. YOU’RE WORKING ON A PROJECT OUTDOORS. YOU’RE IN GOOD SHAPE, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WE GET BEYOND NOON. AND THEN WE’VE GOT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS LATER IN THE DAY AND IT’S GOING TO BE A COOL, BREEZY DAY AS WELL. IN THE FOOTHILLS, WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S, SOUTHEAST WIND ABOUT 10 TO 15. ALL EYES RIGHT NOW ON THE DONNER SUMMIT, WHERE THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE DRY. BUT WATCH AS THINGS WILL DEVELOP PRETTY QUICKLY. BY LUNCHTIME, A COUPLE OF FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW BANDS AND THEN THE BETTER SNOWFALL IS GOING TO HOLD OFF UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN. SO WE DO HAVE TRAVEL IMPACTS. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE HEADING TO THE HIGH COUNTRY FOR THE MORNING, IMPACTS VERY LIMITED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE, BUT THE MODERATE SNOW COMES THROUGH BY TONIGHT. AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN FOR SATURDAY, WE’LL HAVE ON AND OFF AGAIN PERIODS OF POTENTIALLY SOME HEAVIER BANDS OF SNOWFALL SO THAT WILL STILL HAVE AN IMPACT AND LIKELY CHAIN CONTROLS WILL BE UP AND CALTRANS WILL BE OUT THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, PROBABLY WORKING THEIR BEST TO GET THE SNOW OFF THE ROAD AND THEN ANOTHER SHOWER MIGHT GO BY AND THEY HAVE TO PLOW ONCE AGAIN FOR SUNDAY. WE’RE LOOKING AT A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE, BUT THOSE WILL BE ON THE LIGHTER INTENSITY SCALE. LOOKING AT FUTURECAST, LET’S GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND HERE BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS ARE INTERESTED IN THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AHEAD WITH SUNDAY AND EASTER IN VIEW. THIS IS FRIDAY. BY MIDDAY, MIGHT SEE A COUPLE OF SPRINKLES OR SHOWERS AT THAT POINT IN THE VALLEY, BUT AGAIN, THE STEADIER RAIN HOLDING OFF UNTIL LATER THIS AFTERNOON AFTER 3 P.M. CLEARLY YOU CAN SEE AT 4:00 HERE SOME GOOD SOAKING RAINFALL AROUND THE VALLEY STRETCHING OUT IN THE FOOTHILLS, AND SNOW COMING DOWN IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE BEST ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE 5000FT. WE GET INTO SATURDAY THE 6:00 IN THE MORNING. STILL A COUPLE OF POCKETS OF SHOWERS, BUT I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO FIND A LOT OF DRY TIME DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY WITH MAYBE POTENTIAL OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON LOOKING AHEAD TO EASTER SUNDAY, I DO THINK IN THE MORNING WE’LL STILL HAVE POTENTIALLY A COUPLE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS FOR FOLKS HEADING OUT TO A SUNRISE CHURCH SERVICE. THEN BEYOND THAT, WHILE THERE ARE CHANCES FOR A COUPLE STRAY SHOWERS, THERE’S ALSO GOING TO BE A LOT OF DRY TIME WITH EASTER SUNDAY, SO I’VE LEFT IT ACTUALLY DRY IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST. BEYOND THAT, WE’RE COMPLETELY DRY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. GETTING BACK TO MORE OF WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 70S. YEAH. WOW. AVERAGE HIGH 7059 TODAY.
