Good Saturday October 2nd.
Still warm temperatures even though I
know we just kicked off October and we're
expecting some more fall like temperatures.
That nice cool down you think of when
we move toward a Halloween time and
that kind of nice chill in the air.
Unfortunately, we're still dealing
with some 90s in the forecast
with a warm weekend ahead.
We will those see so much cooler
temperatures coming in as we start moving
toward the beginning of next week.
Will see some cool temperatures and then
this could be the end of the 90s well.
I'll let you know all right.
Let's look at what we've been expecting
and seeing for the last few days here.
The average this time of years,
about 85 degrees.
Yesterday we saw 89,
so a few degrees above average above normal
than what we should be this time of year.
We're still very far from record,
but we are going to see
those highs increasing,
at least for the next three days,
including today, Saturday.
Now a high pressure system over
the western US as well as portions
of the Dakotas here is really
pushing that jest room white.
Up and over into Canada,
you notice that the only little
precipitation that's out there is really
being pushed up along the jet stream into
areas of Canada as well as Washington.
A lot of organ avoiding some of that
rain with more high pressure in place
that is going to keep the heat on.
But also it's going to slow down the
wins and what happens when we get a
lack of wins is more stagnant air,
and that's what we're looking at.
An air quality warning that's in
effect from Malda areas right
around Modesto into Stockton.
But the Tracy Triangle down I5 and
in two areas of Bakersfield, Fresno.
Now we do have the KMP complex fire
that is burning in the Sequoia National
Forest so that smoke that fire has
to go somewhere so it's pushing its
way up in areas the foothills and
even making its way through I5 at
least through Thursday 3:30 PM will
see this in place because over the
next few days some of that smoke
has nowhere to go,
so it will begin settling for some
of these zones here.
And that's why there's a warning in place.
But people who are just mildly
affected by this.
Could be impacted or may not be really,
just depends on you.
If you have asthma those kind of
things or allergies it may affect you.
Otherwise you'll see some more
unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Air quality to moderate air
quality there calm to light winds
throughout the day and we're going
to continue with anywhere from three.
It's even about eight mile per
hour winds throughout the next
three days just because of that
high pressure that's in place.
Again,
not much movement when it comes to the winds.
It's a very calm to light winds as we move
into Monday, and that's
another hot day ahead.
Here is where things.
May start changing and where we
start seeing less of the 90s.
Here's the jet stream when we
start looking at these zones
here in the red and the orange,
it's more moisture in the jet stream and
that's moving its way up and over us.
And that's where we actually know
there's some rain falling today
and through the weekend for areas
just up here into Canada as well.
Some portions here of Washington,
although areas of Oregon seem to be
missing that as we look at the jet
stream change in the next couple of
days with our computer models you can
see that nice dip in the jet stream.
All the way down into California
might bring us a little bit of
rain to southern portions of
the coastline on Thursday,
but mostly it's just going to
bring us some cooler temperatures,
especially into Northern California
as we start to move closer
from Wednesday to Thursday.
We do expect that drop in temps in the 70s,
even the upper 60s.
Then we see that kind of moving on.
We get just hover around those
70s for a little while longer,
but then take a look at this nice dip.
A huge troughed that's in the jet
stream on Tuesday October 12th.
And if you notice.
Here it's also providing quite
a bit of moisture,
so we are hoping that this would at
least are targeting areas of Central
California and Northern California
and bring us maybe some rain,
but at least we can maybe count on some
cooler temperatures with that Trump,
which means we may be avoiding
nineties once again for another week.
So after this weekend 's nineties are gone,
we do know we're going to be in
those maybe low eighties to mid
seventies for at least a few days
and then another trough arrives,
which means we're not looking at
temperatures back into the nineties.
We're still looking at temperatures,
possibly low 80s and into the 70s.
Still as we move toward the
middle of the month,
so that's the good news now
as we take a look here at the
Climate Prediction Center,
the 8 to 14 day precipitation
outlook is showing that most of
the Pacific Northwest will be a
little wetter than normal and take
a look at the shades of green here,
although our area of Sacramento falls
in line with just that lightest shade
of green before turning to normal
when normal for us is basically no rain,
we do at least have that chance.
To see something happening and
that could potentially be on
that following Saturday.
So as we move up about two weeks or so.
Most of the northern US also looking
at a targeted jet stream area
where there may be more moisture 6
to 10 day temperature outlook.
She also shows that the western
US is at least a little bit colder
than the central to eastern US,
so again, the trophon,
the jet stream helping us out as we
move in the next 6 to 10 day outlook.
So at least we know that in the
next week or two our temperatures
should be below 90s and we should
keep out of that 90 degree range in
summer like temperatures after we
get through the next three days.
We'll look at some more 80s and
70s in the forecast as we move
even into next weekend.
