12:18 pm
to 14 day outlook 24th from yesterday through the end of april does have us in the category of above normal rainfall. now remember, above can be less than a quarter of an inch for some, so put that in perspective. but the message going forward well into the first week of may are a series of low pressure systems are going to be dropping in here, so we're not getting warm to hot anytime soon, except maybe briefly, similar to what we had on sunday. monday just draw your attention if you're heading up to the mountains or also mendocino county, redding, shasta, lassen, northeast california, there's going to be some okay rain there, maybe even monterey south as well. a couple systems the low right here is heading into southern california. it's taking this track, but some of the cloud cover coming around that has been moving over us. and there is nothing but fog city for many under this low cloud deck, which is kind of hard to believe because the air aloft is not that warm and the inland temperatures have plunged from the 80s to the upper 60s, but due to the cloud cover, mostly cloudy skies, just an amazing amount on the visible satellite to show you how much is going on. a few breaks here and there,
12:19 pm
but not many. so look for a cloudy pattern here, probably all the way into friday as the way it's looking and the temperatures have fallen off the table, if you will, from 70s to low 80s on sunday, monday. now we're in 60s. temperatures are really kind of stuck and a couple locations a little warmer, a couple a little cooler, but there's no dramatic drop like we saw yesterday. so the system moves into the south. then we'll draw our attention to this system up here. coming down out of the northwest. and that is going to play into our weather late thursday, friday. so for today, tonight and probably into early thursday, it's all about that load of the south, maybe some 70s, but mostly 60s. then cloudy. the wind will be a factor along the coast from some as a cold front comes through, and that could generate some activity. again, this is what you're seeing. forecast here is generated by that system on friday. so once that clears through then we should be okay. the rest of the weekend looks okay. slow warming today though. a lot of cloud cover be it low, be it high, 60s on the temps well below average here. inland coast and bay are not that far below, but they're still a little on the cool side.
12:20 pm
