Redding Weather Discussion: The weak storm that moved through on Sunday and gave us a brief taste of fall is now east of our area. High pressure will once again begin to push northward over the western U.S.
Monday Redding will mostly sunny with high temperatures in the upper 80s. Tuesday through Thursday summer returns and we will be sunny with temperatures running in the mid 90s. Friday the high pressure area will once again begin to move slowly eastward. Friday through the weekend Redding with be mostly sunny with a few mid and high clouds and high temperatures in the upper 80s
Extended Weather Outlook Oct 3rd through Oct 9th: There is not a lot of agreement in the longer range weather models, which is normal during the fall and spring transition periods. I think we can expect the high pressure area to continue to weaken and shift eastward. The period will probably start out mostly sunny with a few clouds but I would expect a weak storm to bring a few light showers to our area after the 5th.
