Expect a blustery Friday

We may have rain and snow on Friday, but we'll definitely have wind. The National Weather Service has issued a high wind watch for the entire day, starting early in the foothills. The big winds will be Friday afternoon, just ahead of the cold front. Expect winds of 25-40 mph with gusts up to 70 mph. Gusts over the Sierra ridges could hit 125 mph.

Enjoy today, though

Today will be nice though, with a high of 55 degrees under sunny skies.
