AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
300 PM PDT THU APR 8 2005

.DISCUSSION... QUITE OF BIT OF DEEP & MOIST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
OCCURRING ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY THIS
AFTERNOON.  MULTIPLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS...WITH EVEN 3
TORNADO WARNINGS ISSUED ALREADY. STEEP PRESSURE GRADIENTS WHICH
WERE RESULTING IN ADVISORY CRITERIA SOUTH GUSTS ACROSS NORTHERN
SACRAMENTO VALLEY HAS RELAXED ENOUGH TO ALLOW IT TO EXPIRE. THE
SNOWFALL RATES ARE DECREASING AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH ... SO
SNOW ADVISORY THAT WAS ISSUED FOR OF OUR ALL MOUNTAINS WILL NOT
LIKELY BE EXTENDED BEYOND 6 PM.  FOR THIS REASON, ADVICE WAS TO
NOT INCLUDE THE HEADLINE FOR THOSE ZONES...AS IT WILL LIKELY BE
EXPIRED BY THE TIME THE ZONES ARE VALID.  THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL WIND UP ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS THIS EVENING...LEAVING
BEHIND MAINLY SCATTERED SHOWERS. SNOW LEVEL, WHICH WAS REPORTED
TO BE QUITE LOW EARLIER, IS STARTING TO RISE...BUT STILL FAIRLY
LOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING
ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM, SO OTHER
THAN SOME ISOLATED MORNING SHOWERS, THE WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE DRY
AND WARMER.  THE NEXT SYSTEM MAY BRUSH OUR NORTHERN BORDERS FOR
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, BUT THE FIRST REAL CHANCE FOR
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION WONT BE UNTIL TUESDAY. THAT WILL DROP
TOWARD THE GREAT BASIN, SO THE REST OF NEXT WEEK LOOKS DRY. RCH
