URGENT UPDATE: Unseasonably cool weather is sweeping through Northern California this week, thanks to powerful Delta breezes. Today, Monday, October 30, 2023, winds are expected to gust between 10 to 20 mph throughout the day, with afternoon highs reaching around 82°F in the valleys.
The Sierra will experience even stronger winds, prompting a Lake Wind Advisory in effect until this evening. Gusts could peak at 35 mph, creating wave heights of up to 3 feet. This weather shift is caused by a cutoff low-pressure system lingering off the West Coast, influencing conditions across the region.
Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, October 31, winds will begin to ease, stabilizing daily temperatures in the mid-80s through the weekend. Residents can expect an ongoing Delta breeze each afternoon, complemented by passing mid- and high-level clouds.
In the Sierra, there is a slight chance of storms from Wednesday, November 1, through Friday, November 3. The most widespread activity, although still isolated, is anticipated on Thursday, adding an element of unpredictability to the week.
Looking ahead, high pressure is set to return next Sunday, November 5, allowing temperatures to surge back into the 90s for the following week.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing weather situation as conditions shift in Northern California. Residents are advised to prepare for cooler temperatures and windy conditions, especially in the Sierra regions.
