California, get ready for a little bit of everything this weekend! Saturday will be warm and sunny—perfect for getting outside—but by Sunday, clouds roll in, rain returns, and we all lose an hour of sleep thanks to Daylight Saving Time. If you have outdoor plans, you’ll want to time them right!
Here’s what’s coming and how to make the most of it.
Saturday: Soak Up the Sunshine While You Can!
Saturday is shaping up to be the kind of day that makes you love living in California. Expect clear skies, warm temperatures, and plenty of sunshine from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Highs Across the State:
- Los Angeles: 75°F – Beach day, anyone?
- San Diego: 72°F – Breezy but beautiful.
- San Francisco: 68°F – A perfect spring day!
How to Make the Most of It:
Hit the beach—grab a towel and enjoy the waves before the weather changes.
Take a hike—Runyon Canyon, Torrey Pines, or Marin Headlands will all be gorgeous.
Have brunch on a patio—because everything tastes better in the sunshine!
Bottom line: If you have outdoor plans, Saturday is your day!
Sunday: Clouds, Showers, and the Time Change We All Dread
Sunday will still be mild, but changes are coming. Clouds will roll in throughout the day, and by evening, rain will start moving in.
Sunday’s Highs:
- Los Angeles: 71°F – Cloudy, with rain possible late.
- San Diego: 69°F – A little cooler, with increasing clouds.
- San Francisco: 64°F – Overcast, with rain likely by the afternoon or evening.
What to Expect:
- Morning: Still dry, but skies will look gray.
- Afternoon: Cooler, with a chance of sprinkles.
- Evening: Rain moves in, especially in Northern and Central California.
And don’t forget—Daylight Saving Time begins!
At 2:00 AM on Sunday, we “spring forward” one hour. That means:
- One less hour of sleep. (Not great.)
- Sunset after 7:00 PM! (Finally!)
- Your microwave clock will be wrong for three weeks until you remember to fix it.
How to Adjust for the Time Change:
Try going to bed a little earlier on Saturday. Even 30 minutes can help.
Plan for an extra cup of coffee Sunday morning. You’re going to need it.
Use this time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Good habit to get into!
Next Week: Back to Rain & Mountain Snow
Enjoy the sunshine while you can—because by Monday, the storms are back.
Storm #1 (Sunday Night – Monday):
- Rain starts in Northern California and moves south.
- Heavier showers expected in Central and Southern California.
- Snow possible in the Sierra and Southern California mountains.
Storm #2 (Midweek):
- More rain expected Tuesday-Wednesday.
- Sierra snow levels could drop below 4,000 feet, making travel tricky.
- Possible heavy rain—so be prepared for slick roads and minor flooding.
How to Prepare:
Keep your umbrella handy. This dry stretch is ending.
Driving over mountain passes? Check road conditions—snow chains may be required.
Clear your gutters and check for leaks. A little prep now can save a lot of hassle.
