    Northern California Weather March 5 Morning - High Wind Warning
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Feel that breeze picking up? It's about to get rowdy. A dry system is dragging gusty north winds through the region. And those gusts are going to stick around all day. But here's the twist. This wind is cranking up the heat for the weekend. In the next 24 hours. We're starting at 46 degrees under clear skies. Barely cooled off overnight — we only dipped to 45. In the Bay Area, you're looking at wall-to-wall sunshine today. High of 67 degrees. But those north winds? They're gusting over 30 miles an hour at times. Think papers flying, trash cans rolling. Tonight stays clear with a low of 52. Down in the Central Valley, same deal. Sunny skies, high near 66. And those same pushy winds. Tonight drops to 45 under mostly clear skies. Now here's where it gets good. Tomorrow the warm-up kicks in. Bay Area climbs to 73. Valley hits 70. Then Saturday? Both regions surge to 78 degrees. That's 42 degrees warmer than normal for early March. Spring preview mode, folks. Sunday stays toasty in the mid-70s before we ease back to the upper 60s Monday and Tuesday. One heads-up for travelers. Wind advisories are up for the mountains and desert through this evening. Gusts could top 50 miles an hour in exposed areas. Take it slow if you're heading that way. Full moon rises tonight. With these clear skies, it'll be a beauty. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. And the spring equinox is just two weeks out. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Northern California Weather March 5 Evening - 42° Above Normal
    Mar 5 2026
    Good evening. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Fifty-seven degrees under clear skies. And that overnight low barely budged. That's the kind of mild night that tells you something's different. A dry cold front swept through yesterday. And now high pressure is building in behind it. In the next 24 hours. Here's what today brings. The Bay Area climbs to 66 degrees under sunny skies. Northwest winds gust to 21 miles an hour — brisk but not brutal. Tonight drops to 51 with those winds continuing. Friday brings more sun and 68 degrees. Down in the Central Valley, you're starting cooler. It feels like 37 degrees early this morning. But by afternoon you hit 66. Those northwest winds really crank up though — gusts to 30 miles an hour through the valley. Tonight's low sits at 45. Up at Lake Tahoe, a Lake Wind Advisory is in effect. Winds 15 to 25 miles an hour with gusts to 45. Waves build to 2 to 4 feet. Small boats and paddle boards should stay off the water today. The five-day outlook is straightforward. High pressure dominates. Temperatures climb into the low 70s by Saturday and Sunday across both regions. That's about 42 degrees to 42 degrees above normal for early March. No rain in sight. Tonight brings a full moon — the last full moon of winter. Sunrise was at 6:33 this morning. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Spring equinox is just two weeks away. And this forecast certainly feels like it's already arrived. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Mar 4 2026
    Good morning. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. See that gray ceiling overhead? It's already packing its bags. A cold front is sweeping through right now, but here's the surprise. It's bringing almost no rain. Maybe a few drops on your windshield this morning, but that's it. The real story today is what follows. In the next 24 hours. Temperatures sit at 50 degrees under overcast skies. But watch what happens next. That front clears by late morning. And the winds take over. Northwest winds ramp up to 15 miles an hour this afternoon, gusting to 25. You'll feel it along the coast and through the gaps. Down in the Central Valley. Sacramento hits 68 degrees this afternoon with lighter winds. The Bay Area tops out at 64. Not bad for early March — that's right about where we should be. Tonight brings a treat. Skies go clear. And the full moon rises over a quiet landscape. Lows drop to 48 in the Bay Area, 44 in the Valley. That crisp, dry air will feel refreshing after today's gusty finish. Thursday looks similar — sunny, 65 degrees, but those north winds keep howling. Gusts could hit 31 miles an hour in the Valley. Here's where it gets interesting. An offshore wind pattern sets up this weekend. That means warmth. Saturday hits 72 in the Bay Area, 74 in the Valley. Sunday? 73 and 75 respectively. We're talking 41 degrees to 41 degrees above normal for early March. Spring is knocking early. We're gaining nearly two and a half minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise at 6:35, sunset at 6:03. The spring equinox sits just two weeks away. But this weekend, it will feel like it's already here. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

    3/3 Northern California Weather 6 AM: Clear Skies
    Mar 3 2026
    Good morning. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, walk outside right now and just. Breathe. That 54 degrees on your skin with clear skies overhead? That's a ridge of high pressure doing exactly what we love it to do. It's parked right over us, shoving every storm system north and letting the sun run the show. In the next 24 hours. The Bay Area tops out around 64 degrees today. Light west winds, 2 to 9 miles an hour. Barely enough to rustle a napkin. Tonight dips to 51 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Push inland to the Central Valley and you're the winner today. Sunny skies, highs near 70 degrees by mid afternoon. That's the kind of warmth that makes your lunch break feel like a mini vacation. Tonight settles to 48 degrees under mostly clear skies. Now enjoy this calm. Because it has an expiration date. A cold front slides through Wednesday. Not a drop of rain. The air is bone dry. But behind that front, high pressure builds fast and creates a serious pressure gradient. Translation? Wind. Real wind. Wednesday through Friday, the coast and higher terrain could see gusts over 40 miles an hour. The Bay Area catches gusts to 24 miles an hour Wednesday. The Valley ramps up to 30 miles an hour by Thursday. Secure anything loose in the yard before you go to bed tomorrow night. Then the plot twist. By the weekend, winds flip offshore and temperatures surge. We're talking low to mid 70s across the Valley Saturday. Sunday could touch 75 degrees. And Monday looks like the warmest day of all. Valley highs pushing near 78 degrees. Almost April weather in early March. Oh. And tonight? Full Moon. Skies clear out after some early evening clouds. Perfect excuse to step outside after dinner. I'll be tracking those winds all week for you. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/1 Northern California Weather 6 PM: Wind Advisory
    Mar 2 2026
    Good evening. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. A sneaky little low pressure system is sliding through tonight. and it's painting two very different pictures across the region. Up in the northern Sacramento Valley and foothills, scattered showers and thunderstorms are popping off this evening. Some of those storms could bring frequent lightning and small hail. Nothing severe, but enough to make you look twice out the window. In the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Sierra is catching light snow above 7,000 feet. An inch or two at most. Barely a dusting by mountain standards. Now swing south to the Bay Area. You topped out around 63 degrees today under partly sunny skies. Enjoy that memory. Because light rain and drizzle creep in tonight, mainly north of the Golden Gate. It lingers into Monday morning. We're talking under a tenth of an inch. Lows settle near 53 degrees. More of a mist than a soaking. Over in the Central Valley, you had the easiest day of anyone. Mostly sunny, highs near 67 degrees. Tonight dips to 49 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Monday stays friendly with sunshine and highs around 65 degrees. The Bay Area clears by midday Monday, reaching 63 degrees after morning fog burns off. Now the week ahead is where things get interesting. Tuesday, high pressure muscles in. Sunshine returns everywhere. Wednesday, a quick weak system brushes the north with light showers possible. Then Thursday and Friday. That's the headline. North to east winds kick up and temperatures climb into the low 70s. Saturday looks even warmer. We're talking 70 to 74 degrees under blue skies. That's the kind of warmth that makes you forget it's still early March. If this podcast helps you plan your week, drop us a quick rating. Takes five seconds and means a lot. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/1 Northern California Weather Noon: 44° Above Normal
    Mar 1 2026
    Good afternoon. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. There's a big spinning low pressure system sitting about 500 miles off the coast right now. It's pulling cooler marine air straight at us. That's why you walked outside this morning into fog instead of sunshine. In the next 24 hours. If you're in the Bay Area, that patchy fog cuts visibility before 10 A.M. but it burns off by late morning. Temperatures climb into the low to mid 60s along the coast. Head inland to the Central Valley and you're looking at upper 60s to low 70s. Still plenty mild. We're running 44 degrees to 44 degrees above normal for early March. Now here's where it gets interesting. That low drifts closer tonight. Between midnight and 8 A.M. Monday, there's a chance of light rain across the North Bay and coastal areas. We're talking drizzle. Maybe a tenth of an inch. Enough to slick the roads for your Monday morning commute. but not enough to cancel anything. Overnight lows settle into the low 50s around the Bay. Upper 40s in the Central Valley. Monday morning fog and sprinkles taper off by mid morning. Highs bounce right back to the low to mid 60s at the coast, upper 60s inland. The week ahead tells a good story. Tuesday, high pressure muscles back in. Sunny skies, upper 60s. Wednesday brings one brief hiccup. A quick moving system clips northern areas with a slight chance of showers, then it's gone. Thursday and Friday? Offshore winds kick in with gusts up to 30 miles an hour through the hills. That pushes temperatures into the low 70s heading into next weekend. Perfect patio weather. Folks, this is the kind of early March stretch that makes you forget winter was ever a thing. Get outside and enjoy it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    2/28 Northern California Weather 6 PM: Wind Advisory
    Mar 1 2026
    Good evening. Northern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. Right now. Northern California is soaking in 75 degrees under a quilt of overcast skies. Enjoy that warmth tonight. Because an upper level low is sliding in from the Pacific. and it's rewriting tomorrow's plans. In the next 24 hours. Here's the setup. That low pressure system pulls moisture onshore and cools everything down. Tonight stays mild and dry. but by Sunday afternoon, clouds thicken and temperatures drop. The Bay Area tops out near 62 degrees tomorrow. That's more than ten degrees cooler than today's 73. Light rain develops after 10 P.M. Sunday night, though most spots barely see a tenth of an inch. More of a mist than a soaking. Over in the Central Valley, you're the warm spot today. Highs hit 76 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Tonight dips to 54 degrees. Sunday stays drier with partly sunny skies and highs near 68. Not bad at all. The North Bay and coastal areas catch the best rain chances Sunday night into Monday morning. Everywhere else? Odds stay low. and by Monday afternoon, the sun punches back through like it never left. Now the week ahead tells a nice story. Monday kicks off a warming trend with mostly sunny skies and mid 60s. Tuesday and Wednesday keep climbing into the upper 60s. A weak system may flick a few sprinkles across the north Wednesday, but nothing worth canceling plans over. Thursday and Friday turn breezy with north winds picking up. Highs push near 70 degrees under blue skies. One more thing worth noting. The spring equinox is just two weeks out. Sunrise rolls in at 6:41 A.M., sunset stretches to 5:58 P.M. We're gaining almost two and a half minutes of daylight every single day now. You can feel winter losing its grip. I'll be tracking that Sunday system all night. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
