Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
928 PM PST Mon Dec 12 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry today followed by potentially significant rainfall and
mountain snow Tuesday through Friday.

&&

.Discussion...
A lot of high clouds will continue to spread across the region
overnight. This should help to limit the amount of dense fog that
may occur overnight with only spotty locations possible.

During the day moist flow streaming in from the Pacific will help
to generate some showers in the morning with a chance of some rain
developing over the valley in the afternoon and evening hours with
some snow likely over the mountains. Snow levels will be near 3500
feet over Shasta County to near 5000 feet over the western slopes
during the day.

On Wednesday the weak ridging moves most of the precipitation
northward with chances in the valley down to around I-80. Snow
levels will rise above pass levels. Precipitation increases
Wednesday night over the coastal range and in the mountains north
of I-80. The focus of the heavier precipitation shifts southward
and over Sacramento on Thursday. Winds will be increasing as well
becoming windy for many areas Wednesday night and Thursday. The
winds will decrease late Thursday and Thursday night and
precipitation will decrease later Thursday night. Heavy
precipitation during the afternoon and evening hours over the
Sacramento region may cause some street flooding and some flooding
of some smaller creeks near and in the foothills. Snow levels
will begin to lower Thursday night below major Trans- Sierra pass
levels and result in travel problems over the crest.

&&

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Friday THROUGH Monday)

An upper level trough is progged to move inland on Friday, with
lingering showers mainly over higher terrain. Given the cold
nature of this trough, snow levels could rapidly drop to
~2000-2500 feet. Thus, mountain travel could be impacted as snow
showers could persist through Friday evening. Northerly flow and
upper ridging should end the shower threat for the rest of the
weekend into early next week. A cool airmass will keep daytime
highs below average and overnight lows in the low to mid 30s
across Valley locations.

&&

.AVIATION...

Valley fog/stratus possible Tuesday morning with local MVFR to
LIFR conditions. Winds under 10 kts for TAF sites. Showers could
spread across TAF sites mainly after 23z Tuesday.
&&

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Flood Watch from Tuesday afternoon through late Thursday night
for Burney Basin / Eastern Shasta County-Central Sacramento
Valley-Clear Lake/Southern Lake County-Motherlode-Mountains
Southwestern Shasta County to Northern Lake County-Northeast
