HEATHER, SOME SNOW IS ON THE WAY TOMORROW. WHEN WILL THAT START? YEAH, IT’S GOING TO START AROUND 7 OR 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING. SO IF YOU’RE THINKING, OH, I’LL JUST GET UP AND GET TO TAHOE RIGHT AROUND SUNRISE. YEAH. WE MAY NEED CHAIN CONTROLS AS EARLY AS 7 OR 8. YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET UP THERE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. JUST EXPECT IT TO TAKE LONGER. THAT’S ALL. GOING TO START AS SOME RAIN HERE IN THE VALLEY. GLOOMY SKY TONIGHT. BUT WHATEVER YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR THIS EVENING, IT’S DRY FROM YUBA CITY TO MODESTO, AND IT’S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY UNTIL ABOUT 4:00 OR 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. IT’S ALSO MILD 66 DEGREES. RIGHT NOW IN MODESTO, IT’S 60 DEGREES IN YUBA CITY, UPPER 50S IN FAIRFIELD. AND MAYBE YOU WALKED OUTSIDE LIKE I DID AND THOUGHT FEELS A LITTLE MUGGY, TOO. WELL IT IS. THERE’S A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR. THESE ARE THE DEW POINT TEMPERATURES. ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE MEASURE HOW MUCH MOISTURE THERE IS, THE HIGHER THIS NUMBER IS THE MUGGIER IT FEELS. AND MID TO UPPER 50S FOR THE VALLEY AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR US TO SAY IT FEELS KIND OF MUGGY. IF YOU’RE TALKING TO SOMEBODY IN FLORIDA THAT MAY FEEL NICE AND DRY TO THEM, IT’S ALL RELATIVE. BUT LET’S CHECK OUT FUTURECAST HERE. WE’LL TIME OUT THAT RAIN AND SNOW FOR YOU TOMORROW. AGAIN THIS EVENING IT’S ALL DRY. THIS WILL ALL START WITH A GUSTY LINE OF SOME SHOWERS VERY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. NOW, WHEN WE SAY GUSTS 30MPH, WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE STRONG WINDS THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF SATURDAYS AGO. YOU MAY HEAR THAT BREEZE IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER, MAY ALSO HEAR SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAIN. IT WILL BE RAINING STEADILY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS FROM YUBA CITY TO MODESTO. SO IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO AVOID THE RAIN, I’D SAY WAIT UNTIL AFTER NOON. THAT’S WHEN THINGS WILL KIND OF SETTLE DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT IN THE VALLEY, BUT IT’S STILL GOING TO BE GOING STRONG IN THE SIERRA. THAT SNOW LEVEL RIGHT AROUND 5000FT TOMORROW MORNING. SO ANYWHERE ABOVE THAT EXPECT TO NEED CHAIN CONTROLS ON 50, 80 AND 88 FOR TOMORROW. TOMORROW AFTERNOON AGAIN, AS PROMISED. MAINLY DRY FOR THE VALLEY. THERE MAY BE A SCATTERED SHOWER, QUICK LITTLE DOWNPOUR COMING THROUGH. FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. SNOW WILL START TO WIND DOWN FOR THE SIERRA AT ABOUT 5 OR 6:00 TOMORROW EVENING, BUT EXPECT THOSE CHAIN CONTROLS AND SLICK DRIVING CONDITIONS TO LAST THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. CHRISTMAS DAY. DIFFERENT STORY. IT’S GOING TO BE DRY FOR EVERYBODY. THAT ALSO MEANS WE’RE LIKELY GOING TO START WITH SOME MORE FOG FOR THE VALLEY. THAT’S WHAT THIS IS HERE ON FUTURECAST FROM YUBA CITY, ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH FRESNO. IT WILL BE THICK IN SOME SPOTS. SO YOUR DRIVE ALONG 599, PARTS OF 80TH MAY BE A LITTLE BIT MURKY. IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO BE SOMEWHERE EARLY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. BUT FOR THE FOOTHILLS AND SIERRA, IT’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT SUNSHINE. OVERALL, A NICE DAY FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. NICE AND QUIET AND FRESH SNOW FOR THE SIERRA TWO. HERE’S WHAT’S GOING TO FALL DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. 6 TO 8IN OF SNOW AT DONNER SUMMIT. YOU GO UP TO THE RESORTS, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST SLOPE OF TAHOE, LOOKING AT OVER A FOOT OF SOME SNOW. SO A NICE LITTLE CHRISTMAS PRESENT THERE FOR SOME OF THE RESORTS. WEDNESDAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY TO ENJOY IT AGAIN. SOME SLOWER TRAVEL ON TUESDAY. GETTING THROUGH THAT SNOW FOR QUINCY MAINLY JUST RAIN. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S. POLLOCK PINES AND ARNOLD AGAIN, JUST A SOAKING RAIN WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S. WE’LL SEE A BIT OF SNOW ACCUMULATING IN TRUCKEE AND TAHOE. BETTER NUMBERS OVER DONNER SUMMIT AND ECHO SUMMIT. A WET DAY FROM GRASS VALLEY TO SONORA. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 50S IN THE MORNING, SLIDING BACK INTO THE UPPER 40S BY THE LATE AFTERNOON EARLY EVENING. AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE NUMBERS HERE AT THE COAST AS WELL. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES PROBABLY AROUND 4:00 IN THE MORNING. NUMBERS DURING THE AFTERNOON WILL BE ABOUT FIVE DEGREES LOWER FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. RAIN COMES THROUGH IN THE MORNING. WE’LL DRY THINGS OUT IN THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S TO START AND THEN GOING BACKWARDS THROUGH THE DAY. SAME THING FOR THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY. HEAVIEST RAIN BETWEEN 4 AND 9 A.M. TEMPERATURES STARTING OUT NEAR 60 DEGREES, BUT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 50S. SO KIND OF A STRANGE DAY TOMORROW. DRY FOR WEDNESDAY. UNSETTLED ALL WEEK. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF RAIN. ONCE WE GET PAST TOMORROW, WE’LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN 20 MINUTES. OKAY. SOUN
