... Fast flowing cold water expected for Memorial Day weekend...

Temperatures are expected to be around 80 degrees in the valley and
mid 60s to mid 70s in the foothills this weekend and cooling
around 3 to 8 degrees on Memorial Day. There is also a chance of
showers in the valley and showers likely in the mountains on
Memorial Day.

Rivers and lakes and the water temperatures are cold and dangerous.
Sierra and foothill water temperatures are currently in the 50's and
valley water temperatures are in the mid 50s to mid 60s.

Exposure to water of this temperature is dangerous. Even experienced
swimmers can lose muscle control very quickly and fast flowing water
will make Rescue difficult. People planning activities such as
rafting... swimming or paddling should always wear life jackets or
vests. Children in particular should always wear a life Vest if they
are even near the Waters Edge.
