.DISCUSSION...
BRUNT OF STORM MOVED INLAND LATE LAST NIGHT AND CONTINUES TO AFFECT

SACRAMENTO      55
FAIRFIELD       52
STOCKTON        55
MODESTO         39

WIDESPREAD WIND IMPACTS INCLUDE MULTIPLE AREAS OF POWER OUTAGES,
NUMEROUS HAZARDS FROM DOWNED TREES/LARGE BRANCHES/POWER LINES
INCLUDING MANY CHP REPORTS OF TRAFFIC HAZARDS RELATED TO THE WIND
DAMAGE. GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT WINDS WILL BE LESSENING BY 4 AM.
WILL CANCEL HIGH WIND WARNING WITH FORECAST PACKAGE THIS MORNING BUT
KEEP A WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE UNTIL 11 AM AS SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
STILL BE BREEZY.

IN ADDITION TO THE WINDS...LOW SNOW LEVELS IN FAR NORCAL HAVE ALSO
CAUSED DRIVING HAZARDS UP AROUND SHASTA COUNTY. SNOW LEVELS REMAIN
NEAR 1000 FEET IN SHASTA COUNTY WITH IMPACTS TO INTERSTATE 5. SNOW
LEVELS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE COASTAL RANGE AND NORTHERN SIERRA WILL BE
BETWEEN 2000-3000 FEET THIS MORNING THEN LIFT ABOVE 3000 FEET THIS
AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS COULD LOWER AGAIN LATER TONIGHT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT.

PERSISTENT RAIN IN THE VALLEY HAS CONTRIBUTED TO DOWNED TREES BY
KEEPING THE SOILS SATURATED. RAIN ACCUMULATIONS FROM LOCAL AIRPORTS
IN THE PAST 6 HOURS AS OF 3 AM WERE:

LOCATION        RAIN (INCHES)
---------------------------
REDDING         1.20
RED BLUFF       0.71
CHICO           0.38
MARYSVILLE      0.27
SACRAMENTO      0.28
FAIRFIELD       0.90
STOCKTON        0.25
MODESTO         0.35

THOUGH RAIN SHOWERS WILL PERSIST TODAY...AMOUNTS ARE NOT HAVING A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SMALL STREAM LEVELS. IN FACT...DEER CREEK HAS
ACTUALLY LOWERED BELOW FLOOD STAGE AND IS NOW JUST AT MONITOR STAGE.
THUS...HAVE CANCELLED THE AREAL FLOOD WATCH AND HAVE JUST ISSUED AN
AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR URBAN/SMALL STREAM NUISANCE FLOODING TODAY.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MAIN COLD FRONT FORECAST TO PUSH INTO THE
SIERRA NEVADA BY 18Z SUNDAY SO WINDS OVER THE CENTRAL VALLEY WILL BE
DROPPING OFF QUICKLY SUNDAY MORNING. COLD AIR AND INSTABILITY BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL KEEP SHOWERS GOING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AT THIS
POINT...LOOKS LIKE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
SHOULD KEEP AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM THREAT TO A MINIMUM. MAIN COLD
FRONT IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT AND
ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE...PRECIP RATES WILL DROP
OFF SIGNIFICANTLY. UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVING OVER WEST COAST WILL
BRING COLDER AIR TO THE REGION FOR LOWERING SNOW LEVELS AND WILL
LIKELY SEE SNOW BACK DOWN INTO THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS BUT WITH MUCH
LIGHTER PRECIP...IMPACT SHOULD NOT BE TOO SIGNIFICANT. MAIN UPPER
TROUGH AXIS WILL LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON
MONDAY KEEPING CONTINUE SHOWER THREAT GOING. WILL LIKELY SEE AT
LEAST SOME PARTIAL CLEARING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND WITH INCREASED
SURFACE HEATING...CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THREAT FOR
MONDAY.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
A SERIES OF SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE AIM AT NORCAL THRU NEXT
WEEKEND BRINGING MORE WET AND UNSETTLED WEATHER AS WELL AS BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION. THE STORMS JUST KEEP ROLLING
THROUGH WITH ONE TIMED FOR WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER THURSDAY...AND THEN
OVER THE WEEKEND. NEEDLESS TO SAY...KEEP THE UMBRELLA CLOSE.
