What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Sacramento, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 9, 3:40 PM PST, 6 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 3:40 PM PST, 6 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 340 PM PST Mon Jan 9 2017 .Synopsis... Next Pacific storm spreads precipitation inland tonight with widespread moderate to heavy precipitation and more flooding concerns Tuesday into Tuesday night. Strong gusty wind tomorrow with possible downed trees and power outages. Significant mountain snow Tuesday and Wednesday impacting travel. Lingering mountain showers Thursday then drier weather into the weekend. && .Discussion... Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon ahead of next approaching Pacific atmospheric river. Report of a cold core funnel near Rio Linda earlier. Showery precipitation turns more stratiform and widespread later tonight into Tuesday morning. Models showing some precip shadowing possible in the Central Valley overnight. Snow levels tonight range from around 3500 feet in the northern mountains...locally down to 3000 feet in the northern Shasta mountains...to 4500 feet over the Sierra Nevada. Wind and precip increase across the entire CWA Tuesday and Tuesday night as the next atmospheric river impacts the area. Heaviest precipitation modeled to occur tomorrow afternoon into night mainly over southern portions of the Central Valley and eastern mountains. Heavy snow expected in the mountains of Western Plumas and Northern Sierra Nevada tomorrow above 4500 to 5000 feet...impacting travel. Models showing some minor CAPE over the Central Sacramento Valley southward early Tuesday evening as precip turns more showery in the valley for possible isolated thunderstorms. Widespread precipitation continues Wednesday into early Thursday in the Sierra Nevada but more showery in the Central Valley. Latest QPF for this next system looks to be around 1 to 2.5 inches for the Central Valley with 3 to 9 inches in the foothills and mountains. Several feet of snow expected down to the 4500 foot level by Thursday morning with 3 to 7 feet over higher terrain. NAM/GFS showing strong N-S surface pressure gradient of 12-14 mb from KSAC-KMFR developing over Interior NorCal Tuesday in response to cyclogenesis off the NW CA coast. 925 mb winds are in the 40-55 kts range. This would equate to surface winds of 25 to 40 mph with gusts 50 to 60 mph and given saturated soils, potential for downed trees and power outages is high. Although bulk of wind speeds appear to be in high end advisory criteria, given potential impacts, a high wind warning has been issued for the Sacramento Valley and adjacent foothill zones. Also, breezy to windy conditions expected in the Northern San Joaquin Valley, but not as strong as in the Sacramento Valley, and thus wind advisory in place to address this. PCH && .EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Friday THROUGH Monday) Models trending toward a drier wx pattern on Fri through the weekend as the upstream blocking ridge pattern finally breaks down, and broad ridging dominates the West Coast. Depending on any northerly winds, patchy morning fog may develop. For next Monday, the models differ on dipping a frontal system into northern California. Generally, the ECMWF shows more amplitude and spreads precipitation chances farther south than the GFS and only bringing a slight chance into Shasta county. JClapp && .AVIATION... Precipitation associated with the next system will continue to move inland across NorCal today. Widespread MVFR conditions with local IFR after 06Z Tuesday. Southerly winds 15-25 kts this evening in the valley. South winds 20-30kts expected after 18z Tuesday and 06z Wednesday. An Airport Weather Warning has been issued for KRDD due wind gusts up to 45 knots between 18z Tuesday and 04z Wednesday. && .STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flood Watch through Wednesday evening for Burney Basin / Eastern Shasta County-Carquinez Strait and Delta-Central Sacramento Valley-Clear Lake/Southern Lake County-Motherlode-Mountains Southwestern Shasta County to Northern Lake County-Northeast Foothills/Sacramento Valley-Northern Sacramento Valley-Northern San Joaquin Valley-Shasta Lake Area / Northern Shasta County- Southern Sacramento Valley-West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada- Western Plumas County/Lassen Park. Winter Storm Warning until 10 AM PST Thursday for West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada-Western Plumas County/Lassen Park. Winter Weather Advisory until 4 PM PST Tuesday for Mountains Southwestern Shasta County to Northern Lake County-Shasta Lake Area / Northern Shasta County. High Wind Warning from 10 AM Tuesday to midnight PST Tuesday night for Carquinez Strait and Delta-Central Sacramento Valley- Clear Lake/Southern Lake County-Northeast Foothills/Sacramento Valley-Northern Sacramento Valley-Southern Sacramento Valley and Motherlode.
