COVER THERE. WE WANT TO CHECK IN NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST HEATHER WALDMAN. A REALLY NICE DAY. YEAH, I CHALLENGE ANYBODY IN THE VALLEY TO FIND ANY CLOUD COVER. AT THIS POINT, WE’VE GOT A DRY NORTH BREEZE THAT SWEPT EVERYTHING CLEAR EARLIER THIS MORNING. AND AS EXPECTED, IT’S A NICE WARM AFTERNOON. LIVECOPTER3 IS UP OVER THE RIVER FOR US. A BOAT LAUNCH RIGHT THERE. I EXPECT WE’LL SEE LOTS OF BOATS ON THE RIVERS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

The National Weather Service office in Sacramento is preparing to operate with "critically reduced staffing" as Northern California transitions from the rainy season to wildfire season. NWS Sacramento provides vital weather forecasts and alerts for the entire Sacramento Valley, the adjacent Foothills and parts of the Sierra. These staff reductions are local impacts of federal cuts implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

Thunderstorms could disrupt outdoor plans in the Sierra on Wednesday. Meanwhile the Valley and Foothills will stay dry and seasonably cool. Wednesday morning will be dry across Northern California. Valley temperatures will be near 50 degrees around sunrise. A breeze will create a bit of a chill through the delta and pats of the Sacramento Valley. The Foothills will start Wednesday with temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. Sierra temperatures will stay in the upper 30s to low 40s.

I’m starting up a special series that looks back on memorable weather events in #NorCal. Here’s a peek at the first installment - the Folsom tornado of 1988. The full story is at https://t.co/1V9aIST2Tl Have an idea I can look into? Let me know!
We don’t see tornadoes often in Northern California, but they do make news from time to time. KCRA 3 meteorologist @KCRAHeather looks back at two tornadoes that caused a lot of damage in April 1988. Learn more here: https://t.co/qfYtPQSVtE https://t.co/XtmnX2seEk
LiveCopter3 capturing releases at Folsom Dam. Water is going out at about 7,000 cubic feet per second but flowing IN at more than 8,000 cubic feet per second. The lake is still slowly filling and will continue to do so! https://t.co/NLAvR828nc
Signs of summer in the desert Southwest. Phoenix will likely set records the next couple of days. Northern California will be running warmer than normal for the next week, but no records within reach. I'll see you starting at 4 on KCRA. https://t.co/MQSxyPNLFO
