AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
1020 AM PST Thu Feb 6 2014

.Synopsis...
Series of moist Pacific storms will impact Interior Northern
California today through early next week bringing rain...snow in
the mountains...and breezy to windy conditions at times.

&&

.Discussion...
First wave of precip in Norcal has virtually moved south of our CWA
as vort max off the central CA coast drops SEwd to off the Socal
coast by 00z Fri. Updated the zones earlier this morning to account
for a weaker short wave and area of showers expected to move through
the Nrn portion of the CWA this afternoon...mainly affecting the
coastal mtns and Nrn zones including the Nrn Sac Vly. This feature
is between the 2 larger scale waves...the one to our SW and the
other rotating around the Rex low over the Pac NW.

This system will wind down tonite and there will be a break in the
wx. Then on Fri and into the weekend the much wetter and warmer wx
system will impact Norcal. The main TPW plume around 150-160W will
advect NEwd as energy rotates around the base of the central Pac
trof and the Pacific jet moves into Norcal. WAA precip will rapidly
develop over Norcal on Fri with The amplification of the ridge and
jet shifting the plume gradually Nwd on Sat. With the influx of
subtropical air...snow levels will rise so the initial warning for
the Siernev around 5 kft will need to be tweaked to higher snow
levels during the weekend. Snow levels could rise to near or above
the major passes on I-80/Hwy 50 during the late Sat early Sun time
frame. In advance of this...the main impact will be Fri afternoon
and Fri nite with the lower snow levels and focus of the plume over
the 80/50 corridor. Thus...we are contemplating upgrading the watch
to a warning by the afternoon package. A gradual drop in snow levels
to below pass level is likely on Sun as the jet sags Swd again. Main
changes to forecasts will be to QPF and snow levels...and we are
also contemplating winds Fri afternoon into Sat morning in the
valley as Sly upvalley flow increases in the warm sector.
JHM

Satellite imagery showing short wave trough rotating around large
scale polar low and across the CWA this morning with light to
moderate returns on Mosaic base reflectivity. Rainfall amounts
generally around around a third of an inch or less in the
Sacramento Valley overnight with lighter amounts to the north.
Light snow has been observed in the Shasta mountains and Coastal
range and in the Sierra Nevada. Snow levels currently around 2000
to 3000 feet. System on satellite appears to be moving faster than
06z progs are showing and latest HRRR suggesting precip will be
decreasing by late morning into early afternoon with lingering
showers...mainly over southern portions of the forecast area where
dynamics and moisture are better focused.

Light shower threat looks to continue tonight...mainly over the
mountains...then large atmospheric river extending from the
tropics takes aim on NorCal. WAA precip and large scale
isentropic lift increases over western portions of the CWA Friday
morning then spreads over the entire CWA during the day. Models
indicating periods of moderate to heavy precip Friday night
through the weekend as the concentrated moisture plume slowly sags
southward through Interior NorCal. Low snow levels in the
foothills will continue Friday morning but will gradually
rise to above 6000 feet by Saturday evening and near pass levels
Sunday into Monday. Winter storm watch has been expanded to
include the Coastal mountains for Friday into Saturday. Models
continue to showing significantly different QPF totals through the
weekend with oper GFS indicating upwards of 6 to 7 inches of
liquid precip in the Sierra while the ECMWF-HiRes is a little less
than half that amount. QPFs are in better agreement in the Central
Valley where upwards of 1 to 3 inches likely.

PCH

.Extended Discussion (Monday through Thursday)

Precipitation tapers off on Monday as temporary upper ridging
slides over the west coast. ECMWF a little slower clearing out
last in series of weekend systems so left in slight threat pops on
Monday with highest pops over Sierra closest to departing system.
Extended models all flatten west coast ridge quickly next Tuesday
as next Pacific frontal system pushes into the Pacific Northwest
bringing slight chances of precipitation to the northern most
portions of the state. Relatively flat ridging over the west coast
will allow a couple more slightly stronger Pacific systems to move
into the region Wednesday and Thursday. Precipitation amounts
will be limited due to general ridging over the area but most of
CWA will see a threat of precipitation. Despite cloud cover and
occasional precipitation...Daytime highs throughout the extended
period are expected to remain several degrees above normal with
moderate to high snow levels under moderately warm airmass.

&&

.Aviation...
Frontal system has shifted into central California with scattered
showers expected to continue across NorCal through this afternoon.
Primarily VFR/MVFR, but local IFR ceilings possible in heavier
showers. Generally IFR/LIFR conditions for mountains the next 24
hours, with snow levels down to 2500 to 3500 ft. Mainly south winds
10 to 15 knots for the lower elevations, with southwest wind gusts
to 40 knots over higher terrain. Shen

.STO Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Plumas county/Lassen park.
