After a weekend of downpours across the Bay Area and snow storms in the Sierra Nevada, forecasters expect a complete weather turnaround this week.
“Sunscreen is going to be important,” said Dalton Behringer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. “We’ve had some clear days, but this is going to be the warmest period this year.”
Temperatures over the next week could reach 90 degrees in some areas of the Central Valley, into the upper 80s in inland parts of the Bay Area, and the 70s in the Sierra Nevada.
The warm weather comes just days after storms dropped up to two feet of snow across the Sierra, blanketing the mountain range in fresh powder — and delivering the heaviest single-day snowfall of the 2023–24 season, according to the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab.
