Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
300 AM PST Wed Nov 7 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry weather continues with periods of breezy north to east wind
thru Friday morning leading to critical fire weather conditions.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Other than a few high clouds brushing across the region, skies are
clear and winds are generally light. With the dry airmass in
place, current temperatures are chilly ranging from the mid teens
to mid 20s in the mountain valleys to the 40s to mid 50s across
the Central Valley.

Satellite imagery shows the next upstream short-wave over the
PacNW early this morning. It will slide southeastward into the
Great Basin and NorCal later today and tonight. North and east
surface pressure gradients will increase later tonight in the wake
of this feature. The result will be increasingly gusty
northeasterly winds and lowering humidity across most of the
region, and the red flag warning continues.

The gusty winds will continue Thursday and Thursday night before
subsiding early Friday as pressure gradients relax.

&&

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Sunday THROUGH Wednesday)
High amplitude upper ridge over the west coast will keep Norcal
dry with above normal temperatures through the extended period.
Flow around this ridge will bring breezy north winds on Sunday but
this wind will becoming relatively light Monday as the upper
ridge axis shifts over the west coast. A Pacific frontal system
flattens the west coast ridge around next Tuesday afternoon as it
moves into the Pacific northwest. This will bring a little cooling
and a slightly more onshore flow but otherwise have little
impact. Temperatures warm slightly on Wednesday as upper ridge
rebuilds. Winds are not expected to be especially strong during
the extended period but RH values will be quite low each afternoon
in the dry airmass with widespread humidity values in the teens
each afternoon and only moderate morning recovery. Therefore fire
danger will remain higher than normal for this time of year.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions over interior Norcal next 24 hours. Local North to
northeast wind gusts to 25 kts after about 20z mainly northern
and west portions of the Sacramento valley, eastern Sierra
foothills and Sierra ridges.

&&

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
