AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA 420 PM PDT WED MAR 23 2011 .DISCUSSION...VERY ACTIVE WEATHER DAY ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...AS THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE WEST COAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE PARENT UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LIFTING NORTHWARD ALONG THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COAST...AND HAS BROUGHT PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION TODAY AS WELL AS LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN INTERIOR TODAY. AT THIS TIME...MOST OF THE WINDS HAVE BACKED OFF. HOWEVER...THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO SEE WINDY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THIS LOW LIFTS NORTH. IN THE MEANTIME...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOW STARTING TO FORM. SO FAR...REPORTS OF HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL HAVE BEEN REPORTED...BUT ONE REPORT OF A FUNNEL CLOUD WAS REPORTED NEAR WILLIAMS AND POSSIBLE ROOF DAMAGE.

THE THREAT OF THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A BRIEF LULL IN THE ACTIVITY LATE THIS EVENING...THE NEXT MORE POWERFUL SYSTEM IS STARTING TO DIVE SOUTHWARD FROM NEAR 46 NORTH AND 137 WEST. THIS SYSTEM HAS A 140 KNOT JET TO PROPELLING IT TOWARDS THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST LINE...AND WILL BRING MORE VALLEY RAIN...LOWER ELEVATION SNOW...AND VERY GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION. IN FACT...THIS SYSTEM IS LOOKS QUITE IMPRESSIVE...WITH 925...850...AND 700 MB WINDS RANGING BETWEEN 50 AND 70 KNOTS AT ALL LEVELS.
