Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
354 PM PST SAT MAR 12 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH INTO MONDAY BRINGING
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS...ALONG WITH GUSTY WIND. DRY AND WARMER TUESDAY INTO
FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...
Winds remain breezy over the interior and have not come up as
strong as we were expecting over the Southern Sacramento Valley.
The strongest gusts of 50 mph reported earlier this morning at
Redding Airport. Snow levels will remain near 5000 feet for the
Sierra Nevada to around 4000 feet over Shasta County. Models have
the current band of rain that is moving south will stall over the
Southern Sacramento Valley region overnight. Any urban flooding
problems that occur is any would most likely be in that area.

Rain snow and wind can be expected through Sunday night with the
strongest winds once again expected during on Sunday. Isolated
thunderstorms may be possible over the north end of the Sacramento
valley and surrounding areas on Sunday. The upslope areas are
expected to continue to receive good amounts of rain/snow through
Sunday night.

Showers may linger on Monday but for the most part it looks like
the interior will be drying out throughout the day and become
fully dry during the evening hours.

Dry Tuesday as a ridge builds over the region. Breezy northerly
winds are also expected during the daytime.

&&
.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday)

Upper level ridging will bring mild temperatures and dry weather
through the week, with highs generally about 10 degrees above
normal. There will be some breezy north winds at times. Models are
showing a trough moving in to displace the ridge late in the
weekend. This will cool temperatures down some, and potentially
bring some precipitation to the area, likely focused over the
northern mountains. EK
&&

.AVIATION...

Next wave of precipitation with approaching weather system is
moving into the central valley. This band will bring occasionalIFR/LIFR
conditions this evening and overnight as moderate showers are
embedded in this area of more broad showers. In the Northern and
Central Sierra Nevada mountains and Coastal mountains Snow levels
will hover between 4500-5500 feet. The winds will decrease some
overnight. However another front Sunday will mean a return of
gusty winds of 25-35 kts and higher in the northern valley and
mountains.
