Winter is knocking on Northern California’s door, and it looks like it won’t be light knocking! According to the KCRA 3 weather team, the region is gearing up for its first storm of the season, starting as early as Monday afternoon. The forecasts are hinting at a mixture of rain in the Valley and some delightful mountain snow. But hold onto your umbrellas because there’s plenty of uncertainty about how this weather pattern will play out, which means your weekend plans may need some extra thought.
Travelers planning a last-minute escape to the mountains may want to double-check their vehicles for winter readiness. It’s all fun and games until you discover your tires are winter’s worst enemy. Meanwhile, in the Valley and Foothills, it’s time to prepare for a little rain as temperatures drop into the 60s. Just think of it this way: an excellent excuse to cozy up under a blanket with a hot drink while the rain dances on the roof!
With highs in the 60s for most places and the “coldest” spots like Truckee and South Lake Tahoe barely breaking into the 40s, it’s a reminder that summer has definitely packed its bags and hit the road. No need to cancel those plans just yet, though, but it might be smart to pack an umbrella. Who knows? That rain might just be the beginning of our cozy winter adventures! What’s your go-to drink when the weather turns dreary?
