URGENT UPDATE: Northern California residents can expect a significant shift in weather as morning fog dissipates, making way for afternoon sunshine today. A light northerly wind is already beginning to clear the skies, allowing temperatures in the Valley to rise to around 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the foothills, conditions will remain cool but calm, with temperatures peaking in the upper 40s. Travelers heading to the Sierra Nevada should prepare for chilly conditions, as highs are forecasted to remain in the 30s Fahrenheit.
As high pressure moves overhead, residents should anticipate a continuation of this quiet weather pattern through New Year’s Eve. However, **weather models are starting to diverge** on the forecast for December 31. Some models indicate an earlier arrival of moisture, suggesting a potential for a wet New Year’s Eve, while others speculate that the system may push through later, allowing for dry conditions on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
With the holiday weekend approaching, this uncertainty in the forecast could impact plans for celebrations. Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather reports as conditions evolve.
The National Weather Service urges everyone to remain vigilant, as changes in forecast models could lead to varying weather experiences across the region. Keep an eye on local advisories for the most current information, especially as New Year’s festivities approach.
Stay tuned for further updates as we monitor this developing situation!
