Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
854 AM PST FRI MAR 4 2016

.Synopsis...
Light to moderate precipitation will arrive later today. A strong
storm then arrives Saturday with heavy mountain snow, local
flooding, and potential for strong and damaging Valley winds. More
weather systems are expected Sunday, Monday, and late next week.

&&

.Discussion...
Mostly cloudy skies prevail across much of the region as a very
moist airmass takes aim at the West Coast. A few light showers
are being detected on radar this morning, but aren't amounting to
much impact. Short-range guidance (the HRRR and ARW) suggest the
potential for some isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and
evening. Instability will likely be somewhat limited by extensive
cloud cover, and so we don't currently expect anything organized
to develop today.

Light to moderate precipitation will continue tonight into
Saturday before the next, much stronger system arrives.
Precipitation should begin to pick up substantially in the
afternoon and continue through the evening hours. Urban and small
stream flooding will be possible across much of the region, and
depending on precipitation rates we could also see debris flows
across recently burned areas. A big concern will be the wind
forecast with this system. Forecast southerly pressure gradients
increase to roughly 8mb between KSAC-KRDD, a fairly impressive
amount. We also haven't seen this coupling of rain and wind in
quite some time. Considering the stress on trees due to the
drought, we could see a fair number of trees downed with this
storm. We are calibrating our messaging with this impact
accordingly.

Snow levels will start fairly high with this storm during the
heaviest periods of precipitation. Snow levels then rapidly drop
below pass levels to 3500-4500 feet late Saturday night and
through Sunday into Monday. With periodic snow between Saturday
night through Monday, we could be looking at 1 to 2 feet of snow
accumulation above 4500 feet or so, and up to 3 feet along the
highest peaks.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Tuesday THROUGH Friday)

Brief break in precipitation expected for most areas on Tuesday
behind departing trough as ridge attempts to build back over the
area. Should see at least partial clearing with lighter winds.
This ridge will not be long-lived however as active March pattern
continues. Overrunning precip may return on Wednesday ahead of
next wave that will move across the area sometime Thursday into
Friday. Model differences remain in timing and scope of these
waves so forecast will need to be refined going forward.
Regardless, should be another good shot at widespread
precipitation for the end of the work week as moisture plume re-
aims itself toward Norcal with breezy to locally gusty winds.

CEO

&&

&&

.AVIATION...

MVFR conditions possible periodically today as another wave of
precipitation moves through the area. Southerly winds will
increase during the late afternoon to evening hours with gusts of
10-20 kts. Stronger, wetter system expected for Saturday with
worsening flight conditions.

&&

.STO Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
