We have beautiful weather around northern California right now, but it will get a lot more unsettled this weekend as a storm moves overhead. We can expect gusty wind, a big cooldown, and areas of light to moderate rain. A trough of low pressure is approaching our region right now, but you'd only know it due to the breezes which have begun to blow. We can expect a few more clouds by Saturday morning along with less haze and smoke in the air. Lows will range from the 30s and 40s in the mountains to the 50s and 60s in the valley. Saturday will begin quiet and dry but there will be gusty wind and scattered rain showers by the afternoon and evening. Little rain will fall, however. Highs will only rise into the 60s and 70s Saturday.

At this point it looks like the valley won't get much rain, but the mountains could get some moderate amounts. Shower chances will be in place from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. We have Red Flag Warnings in Modoc and Lassen counties Saturday, and a Fire Weather Watch for the valley and foothills from Sunday through Tuesday due to more gusty wind from the northeast. Thankfully the air will get cleansed quite a bit... hopefully no other fires begin. We'll have more sunshine much of next week, and aside from some gusty wind the first half of the week, it will be a quiet pattern. Valley lows will be in the 50s and 60s. Valley highs will climb from the 70s this weekend back into the 80s and lower 90s through next week.
