AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
1016 AM PDT Sun Aug 3 2014

.Synopsis...
Cooling trend through Tuesday then near average highs the
remainder of the week. A return of Sierra showers and thunderstorms
starting this afternoon. More widespread and wet mountain showers
and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday, with a slight chance of
showers and thunderstorms for the valley and foothill areas. Some
showers and thunderstorms may linger near the crest Wednesday
through Friday.

&&

Discussion...
Mostly cloudy skies with a decent delta breeze has brought cooler
air into the interior this morning. Clouds will continue to move
northward over the region today keeping most locations mostly
cloudy. Showers with isolated thunderstorms will be possible later
today for the western slopes...mainly south of US 50. A better
push of showers will occur overnight into Monday for that area
with slight chances some of the activity could move further
northward.

When the low moves northward it will be likely that some showers
with possible thunderstorms will spread into the valley. Monday
night into Tuesday showers will likely spread over the wildfires
in Shasta Co. to bring some needed help from mother nature. The
initial cloud shield should prevent any strong thunderstorms from
developing but as the low moves northward on Tuesday then drops
southward for Wednesday things could change. Mountains could end
up getting some decent rainfall for this time of year.
&&

.Extended Discussion (Thursday through Sunday)

Anomalously moist conditions will remain over the region through
at least Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Dynamics won't be
quite as favorable for convection as earlier on in the week, but
with a weak trough pattern over California, a slight threat of
thunderstorms will persist over the mountains. By late next week,
southwest flow aloft will begin to increase, which would likely
push monsoonal moisture east of the Sierra crest.

Temperatures are expected to remain within a few degrees of normal
through the extended period.
