Extreme Cold Warning Issued In Pleasanton, 4-Day Local Rainfall Totals Released

PLEASANTON, CA — Bundle up and crank up the furnace: Pleasanton is expected to see temperatures drop into the low 30s Friday morning. The National Weather Service placed Pleasanton and much of the interior East Bay under an Extreme Cold Warning from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday. Gusts of up to 19 mph are also expected Friday night.

“Cold conditions will be hazardous to sensitive populations such as unhoused individuals. Cold conditions may damage or kill sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation if appropriate precautions are not taken. Prolonged exposure to the cold conditions will lead to hypothermia for people, pets, and livestock,” NWS said.

Residents are advised to ensure that portable heaters are working properly to avoid sparking a fire indoors, and to not use generators or grills indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The temperature is expected to rise to 53 degrees Friday, and temperatures will reach the mid-60s by Sunday, with a mix of sun and clouds. Sporadic rain is predicted Monday and Tuesday.

Downtown Pleasanton saw a total of 4.1 inches of rain from Monday through Thursday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Pleasanton near Shadow Cliffs saw 1.95 inches, though data for Thursday was not available. South Pleasanton near Sunol Boulevard and Bernal Avenue saw 4.4 inches.
