AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
925 PM PDT MON JUN 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL BRING
COOLER AND WINDIER WEATHER ON TUESDAY. STRONG FORCING BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL PRODUCE WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WIND BY DAYBREAK OVER THE
NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY THEN SPREAD INTO THE CENTRAL SACRAMENTO
VALLEY. WIND SPEEDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS 40 TO 45 MPH LOOK LIKELY
OVER THAT AREA. FURTHER SOUTH SUSTAINED WINDS COULD COME CLOSE TO
ADVISORY LEVEL CRITERIA WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. WHILE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE COOLER ON TUESDAY THE AMOUNT OF COOLING IS IN QUESTION. 850
MB TEMPS DO COOL A LOT WITH THICKNESS VALUES OVER THE NORTH DROPPING
ABOUT 15 DM. THE STRONG NORTH WINDS WITH ADIABATIC WARMING SHOULD
HELP TO OFFSET THAT A LITTLE. FURTHER SOUTH THE THICKNESS DROP IS
NOT AS GREAT SO AROUND SACRAMENTO WE COULD SEE TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE
FROM THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...WHILE OVER THE NORTH END OF THE
VALLEY THEY COULD COOL INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

ON WEDNESDAY WHILE CONDITIONS LOOK BREEZY TO WINDY TUESDAY HAS THE
GREATER FORCING. MOST TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM SLIGHTLY OVER
TUESDAYS HIGHS. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK WELL
INTO THE 90S.
