“For drivers in the early morning on Thanksgiving Day, there may be some ice on some roads, like in a few shady spots on Highway 17 to Santa Cruz”, Smith said. Through the evening, temperatures fall into the 40s, so conditions are fairly decent for Black Friday shoppers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 28.

A cold front that was expected to affect the state over the weekend is moving slower than thought, which would put off rain chances for much of the state until early next week. It does not look like widespread steady rain. Dry Saturday with more sunshine coming as the day progresses. By the afternoon, highs will reach around 65 degrees.

There is a lot of uncertainty with the forecast for Sunday. At the moment, we’re keeping rain chances around 50%.

The shift began Monday following record high temperatures in parts of the Bay Area. Expect morning lows in the 20s and highs slowly climbing into the 40s. High pressure to our east and low pressure to our west is helping to funnel these stronger winds as the pressure gradient between the two weather systems continues to tighten. The best chances for rain will come after 4 p.m. Sunday and continue into Tuesday and Wednesday. A band of moderate rain is expected from eastern Texas to southern Missouri with lighter rain farther north Saturday.
