Can I swim in Northern CA rivers, streams? Water safety tips
As temperatures begin to warm up in Northern California, you might be tempted to take a dip in local waterways. “Keep in mind that the area rivers and streams will continue to run COLD as a product of mountain snowmelt,” the National Weather Service posted Monday afternoon on X, formerly known as Twitter. The weather service is forecasting temperatures in Sacramento to reach 90 degrees by Sunday, for the first time in 2024. “We will be going from below-normal temperatures to above-normal temperatures for this time of the year,” Scott Rowe, a senior service hydrologist at the weather service in Sacramento, said Monday.
