5-Day Outlook

*checks calendar* Yeah, it's still February! But it's gonna be feeling a bit like early April with highs in the upper 60s for valleys and upper 50s for Sierra communities. Enjoy the pleasant weather before another shot of showers arrives by late Saturday.

An incoming warm system will bring high elevation rain showers, warming temperatures and gusty winds to the region this week. Expect poor drainage flooding, rising waters in area creeks and streams, and possible snow sliding off roofs. Prepare now by clearing storm drains, gutters and roofs ahead of this next storm. Above average temperatures by the end of the week, with breezy winds.
