AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
939 AM PST TUE DEC 18 2012

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...

INTERIOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DRY
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...WITH THE LAST REMAINING SHOWERS EXITING THE
NORTHERN SIERRA. SKIES ARE PRIMARILY CLEAR ACROSS THE CENTRAL
VALLEY...ALTHOUGH WE'VE RECEIVED A FEW REPORTS OF LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG ALONG THE SIERRA. WITH STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING OCCURRING
OVERNIGHT...TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING ARE RUNNING ANYWHERE FROM 7
TO 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN 24 HOURS AGO.

THE NAM AND GFS ARE PROGGING A STRETCHED VORT LOBE ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY. THE
VALLEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE SUBSIDING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
THROUGH THE DAY. ONLY THE CREST OF THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD SEE LIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS TODAY. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS ON TRACK...NO UPDATES
ARE PLANNED.

SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD TONIGHT...BRINGING CONTINUED
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. WITH STRONG RADIATIONAL
COOLING...AREAS OF FROST DEVELOPMENT LOOK LIKELY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL VALLEY TONIGHT. LOOK FOR CENTRAL VALLEY LOWS AROUND 30
DEGREES...WITH WIDESPREAD TEENS AND 20S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD QUICKLY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT
LOW APPROACHES FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA. WEDNESDAY ITSELF SHOULD
BRING FAIR WEATHER WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW WILL BEGIN IMPACTING THE FAR NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE STATE BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE THE
UPPER LOW ITSELF IS RATHER SEASONAL...THE MORE IMPORTANT ASPECT
IS THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR THAT WILL BE TRAPPED IN THE SHASTA-
TRINITY ALPS AND DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY. THIS
COLD AIR IS FORECAST TO BE DEEP AND DENSE...AND WILL BE SLOW TO
MIX OUT. GIVEN ALL OF THIS...WE'RE EXPECTING SNOW LEVELS TO
INITIALLY BE AROUND 500 FT AND REMAIN THERE FOR MUCH OF THURSDAY.
THIS COULD BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO THE CITY OF
REDDING AND THE MOUNTAINS NORTHWARD.

THE INITIAL SYSTEM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A SECOND WAVE ON FRIDAY AS
THE UPPER LOW DROPS FURTHER SOUTH OFF THE PACNW COAST. THESE
SYSTEMS WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER PROLONGED PERIOD OF
ACTIVE WEATHER FOR NORCAL THAT WILL LAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
BIGGEST IMPACT FROM THESE STORMS WILL CERTAINLY BE VERY HEAVY
SNOW. WE WILL CONTINUE TO REFINE OUR SNOW FORECASTS...BUT MANY
MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS WILL BE LOOKING AT MANY FEET OF SNOW BETWEEN
THURSDAY AND THE END OF THE WEEKEND. DANG

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)

PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH ADDITIONAL WAVES MOVING INTO THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE TO AROUND 3000 FT IN THE NORTH...AROUND 4500
FT OVER THE SIERRA BY SATURDAY. ALL THREE MODELS (GFS/EC/GEM)
HAVE COME INTO GOOD AGREEMENT IN REGARDS TO THE TIMING AND
AMPLIFICATION OF THE MAIN LONGWAVE TROUGH THAT DOMINATES THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. NCEP RELATIVE MEASURE OF PREDICTABILITY FOR THIS
TROUGH IS GREATER THAN 90% AND THE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE IS
AROUND 80%.

AROUND AN INCH TO 3.5 INCHES OF RAIN ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND POSSIBLY UP TO AN INCH IN THE NORTHERN SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY. ALTHOUGH THE RAIN AMOUNTS ARE CONSIDERABLY LESS
THAN THE STORMS FROM THREE WEEKS AGO...THE SNOW LEVELS ARE
CONSIDERABLY LOWER. SO WE EXPECT TO SEE ABUNDANT SNOWFALL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...POTENTIALLY SEVERAL FEET OF
ADDITIONAL SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
MAINLY ABOVE 4500 TO 5000 FT. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO TAPER
OFF ON MONDAY AS THE TROUGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. JCLAPP
