AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
350 AM PDT THU OCT 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
A PACIFIC TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING ONSHORE WILL DEEPEN OVER THE
REGION SIGNIFICANTLY TODAY AND THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING WINDY CONDITIONS...MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES...AND A CHANCE OF
LIGHT SNOW OVER THE SOUTHERN CASCADES AND NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SPREADING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TODAY
WILL CREATE A STRONG GRADIENT WITH DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
GREAT BASIN. THE MFR TO RDD GRADIENT IS ALREADY 9.7 MB. WINDS AT
REDDING HAVE BEGUN TO PICK UP AND ARE CURRENTLY 11 KT GUSTING TO 20
KT. THESE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS MORNING AND SPREAD
SOUTHWARD AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES. WINDS ALOFT
AND JUST OFF THE SURFACE WILL SUPPORT WINDY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS BY
MID AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
WESTERN SIDE...AND INTO LAKE COUNTY AND THE MOUNTAINS OF
SOUTHWESTERN SHASTA COUNTY. WINDS IN THOSE AREAS WILL AT TIMES REACH
SUSTAINED LEVELS OF 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH...FROM MID
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR 3 PM TO 9 PM FOR THOSE AREAS. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN
UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR GUSTY WINDS AND POOR HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES BELOW 1500 FEET. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH SOME
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THEN RETURN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A

TODAY...AND SEVERAL MORE DEGREES ON FRIDAY. HIGHS IN THE VALLEY WILL
MAINLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S TODAY...UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ON
FRIDAY. AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS...THE LEFT FRONT OF A 130 KT JET WILL
EXTEND INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS ALONG WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY FROM COLD POOL ALOFT WILL SPREAD LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS INTO SHASTA COUNTY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. SNOW LEVELS WITH
THE COOL AIRMASS WILL DROP TO AROUND 4000 FEET OVERNIGHT. ANY
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL SPREAD
SOUTHWARD INTO THE LASSEN PARK AREA AND ALONG THE SIERRA CREST.
CURRENT MODEL RUNS SHOW TROUGH WILL CLOSE OFF AND DEEPEN FURTHER ON
FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY...BUT SHOULD STAY FAR ENOUGH EAST TO KEEP
PRECIPITATION FROM SPREADING WESTWARD TO THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. BEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO BE IN
FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS EAST OF THE SIERRA CREST. FRIDAY NIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS ON THE WEST SIDE WILL BE MAINLY NEAR THE CREST SOUTH OF
I-80. DRY CONDITIONS WILL MOVE IN FOR SATURDAY AS THE SYSTEM SHIFTS
EASTWARD...ALTHOUGH BREEZY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE. HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEY WILL RISE SLIGHTLY...ALTHOUGH THE
MOUNTAINS WILL REMAIN QUITE COOL ALONG WITH MORE CLOUD COVER.

WARMER WEATHER RETURNS ON SUNDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH BUILDS IN.
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME MORE NORTHEASTERLY...WITH GUSTY WINDS
OVER RIDGES AND THROUGH CANYONS. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED
BY TUESDAY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD JUST BRING AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER...WITH CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK. EK
