We are looking at a system of high pressure departing east tonight, making way for a cold front. This front will bring breezy conditions and a chance of showers tonight, especially for coastal areas and parts of Northern California, including Curry County. Westside valleys like the Rogue Valley are expected to see lighter rain amounts, while areas along the coast could experience moderate to heavy precipitation. Gusts of 40 miles per hour or greater are possible along the coast and exposed coastal ranges.

Enjoy the wonderful weather this weekend, because it won’t last much longer. This weekend, high temperatures will sit comfortably in the low 70s and upper 60s across Central California, and even into the low 80s for portions of Southern California; all just slightly above average for early November. With mostly sunny skies and light winds, it is the perfect weekend to spend outside, whether it be on the coast or in the mountains. This is all thanks to a weak ridge of high pressure that is setting up over the western U.S. As it sits overhead, skies are cleared and temperatures underneath the ridge will stay slightly above average alongside calm and stable skies. For the Sacramento area, high temperatures Friday will rise into the upper 60s and low 70s with some briefly passing clouds, and rise a few degrees more on Saturday as skies remain sunny. A few extra clouds to go around Sunday, but even then temps remain steady. Lows in the 40s during this stretch are typical for early November. It is the same story elsewhere. For the San Joaquin Valley, highs in the low 70s for Modesto, Merced, Fresno and San Jose on Friday will rise

Ready for more rain? After a Halloween weekend marked by showers and wet trick-or-treating, more rain and cooler temperatures are in the forecast for Northern California, including the Modesto area. “A quick moving weather system will bring precipitation chances and slick roads across interior Northern California,” the National Weather Service said in a post on X on Monday, Nov. 2. How much rain has Modesto received? When will showers return? Here’s what to know: How much rain did Modesto get? Modesto received roughly 0.18 inches of rain over the past several days as of Monday, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Modesto Irrigation District tracks seasonal rainfall from July 1 through June 30 of 2027.
