URGENT UPDATE: Northern California residents can expect a shift in weather today as morning fog is set to clear, paving the way for afternoon sunshine. With a light northerly wind helping to disperse the fog, Valley temperatures are projected to reach around 50 degrees Fahrenheit this afternoon.
The foothills will remain cool yet calm, with temperatures peaking in the upper 40s. Meanwhile, the Sierra will experience chillier conditions, with highs only reaching the 30s. As high pressure settles over the region, expect more pronounced fog in the mornings, but overall weather will remain stable leading up to New Year’s Eve.
However, New Year’s Eve is shaping up to be a day of uncertainty. Meteorologists are closely monitoring conflicting weather models regarding the arrival of the next weather system. Some forecasts indicate that moisture could push in earlier from the north, potentially leading to a wet celebration for many. Others suggest that the system might arrive later, leaving New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day dry.
Residents are urged to stay updated as the forecast develops. The contrast in predictions highlights the need for vigilance as plans are made for the holiday celebrations. As conditions evolve, officials recommend checking reliable weather sources for the most current updates.
Prepare for a chilly start to the new year as Northern California navigates these changes, and keep an eye on the skies for what promises to be a dynamic weather transition.
