AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
912 AM PDT SAT AUG 25 2012

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENT FORECASTS ON TRACK. MARINE LAYER HAS DEEPENED TO AROUND
1500-2000 FT DEEP AND GRADIENTS ARE TRENDING A LITTLE MORE ONSHORE
WITH A MUCH WEAKER NORTH TO SOUTH GRADIENT (MFR TO SAC) THIS
MORNING. SO...A LITTLE COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED.

&&

.PREVIOUS SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...
FORECAST AREA UNDER CLEAR SKIES THIS MORNING UNDER UPPER RIDGE ALONG
THE WEST COAST. MARINE LAYER THIS MORNING IS AROUND 2000 FEET DEEP
AND SOME COASTAL STRATUS IS MAKING IT INTO THE DELTA THIS MORNING
BUT IS NOT LIKELY TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY.
DELTA BREEZE IS JUST A BIT STRONGER THIS MORNING AND AS A
RESULT...DELTA INFLUENCED AREAS ARE RUNNING JUST A BIT COOLER.
OTHERWISE...MOST LOCATIONS ARE RUNNING SIMILAR IN TEMPERATURE TO
FRIDAY MORNING. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA IS
CURRENTLY MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE EASTERN PACIFIC. THIS SHOULD BRING
A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN THE DELTA BREEZE AS WELL AS A SLIGHT
SYNOPTIC COOLING AS MORE MARINE AIR FILTERS INTO THE AREA. MOST
LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE A DROP OF ABOUT 2 TO 5 DEGREES TODAY.

UPPER LOW PUSHES IN A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE COAST ON SUNDAY BRINGING
INCREASED ONSHORE FLOW AND A LITTLE MORE COOLING. DESPITE THE
COOLING...HUMIDITY VALUES REMAIN QUITE LOW ESPECIALLY OVER THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THIS LOW HUMIDITY COMBINED WITH THE INCREASING
WINDS WILL INCREASE FIRE DANGER. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND
LOW HUMIDITY OVER THE SOUTHERN CASCADES AND NORTHERN SIERRA JUSTIFY
THE CONTINUATION OF THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH CURRENTLY IN PLACE. THE
UPPER LOW IS ONLY MODELED TO MOVE SLIGHTLY ON MONDAY SO LOOKING FOR
JUST A BIT MORE COOLING. BREEZY WINDS CONTINUE ON MONDAY SO WILL
NEED TO MONITOR CONTINUED ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS.

MID RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN KICKING THE UPPER LOW
INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY. DAYTIME HIGHS TUESDAY SHOULD
REMAIN A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WHILE WINDS ACROSS THE RIDGES
INCREASE A BIT MORE.

&&

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
AS THIS LOW TREKS INLAND WEDNESDAY AND INTO THE LATER PART OF THE
WEEK...MID RANGE MODELS LEAVE WEAK TROUGHING ALONG THE WEST COAST.
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO WARM SLIGHTLY UNDER STABLE SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY WITH THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEKS HIGH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR OR A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.
THE EXTENDED PERIOD SHOULD SEE LIGHTER WINDS OVERALL UNDER WEAKER
PRESSURE GRADIENTS.

&&

.AVIATION...
GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MVFR/IFR
VISIBILITY FROM SMOKE NEAR WILDFIRES...WITH SOME MVFR AT KRDD AND
KRBL SATURDAY MORNING FROM AROUND 15-21Z. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY
LIGHT THROUGH THE MORNING THEN INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON. SW WIND
GUSTS 25 TO 30 KT EXPECTED NEAR THE DELTA TODAY. GUSTS UP TO 20 KT
OVER RIDGETOPS. EK

&&

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING
BURNEY BASIN/EASTERN SHASTA COUNTY...WESTERN PLUMAS COUNTY/LASSEN
PARK.
