Northern California city could experience coldest August day in 34 years
Large temperature swings are forecast across Northern California in the coming days as a snow-producing weekend storm is quickly followed by a round of triple-digit heat. Temperatures throughout Northern California were near to slightly below average on Wednesday, but a dramatic cool-down will begin in earnest Thursday. An unusually strong low-pressure system moving down from the Gulf of Alaska will promote a strong breeze off the Pacific Ocean toward the inland Bay Area and Central Valley. … On Friday, temperatures will slide even further as the low-pressure system stalls near Crescent City. The National Weather Service forecasts a high of 71 degrees in Redding on Friday, which would be the city’s coolest August day since 1990. Highs will be 15 to 30 degrees below normal in the Sacramento Valley and northern Sierra.
