AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
917 PM PST Mon Jan 13 2014

.Synopsis...
Dry weather with temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above normal are
expected this week from strong high pressure. Slight chance of
light precipitation over the northern mountains is looking less
likely this weekend.

&&

.Discussion...
Strong high pressure over the region this week will keep
temperatures much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Light north winds over the far end of the valley will help to keep
temperatures mild overnight with lows probably staying in the 40s.
This will also lead to temperatures warming up into the mid 70s
for Tuesday. Further south temperatures will mainly remain in
the mid 60s with some of the warmer locations possibly warming
into the upper 60s. The warmer foothill locations should warm up
into the lower 70s. Similar conditions are expected each day
through this week.
&&

.Extended Discussion (Friday through Monday)

Medium range models continuing to trend towards high amplitude
ridging in the EPAC as the main player through the extended
forecast period. Short wave trough progged to move through this
weekend is trending weaker with each model run, and now it looks
like associated precip Saturday night/Sun morning will remain
mainly north/northwest of our forecast area. RMOP charts
continuing to show moderate to high forecast confidence for strong
ridging to persist along the west coast through the next 360
hours. Thus expect dry weather with above normal temperatures
through next week.

&&

.Aviation...

Mainly VFR conditions the next 24 hours under high pressure. Local
IFR/LIFR conditions in BR/FG will redevelop tonight across the
northern San Joaquin Valley and southern Sacramento Valley between
08-20z Tuesday. Generally light winds expected across the Valley,
except north winds 5-15 kt along the western Sacramento Valley.
Locally breezy NE winds expected across parts of the Sierra.

Dang

&&

.STO Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
None.
