Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
321 AM PDT Thu May 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and dry weather continues. Slight cooling returns early next
week along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms over the
mountains.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Some high clouds overhead associated with weak short-waves moving
through the broad trough over NorCal. Current temperatures are a
bit cooler compared to 24 hours ago and range from the mid 30s in
the mountain valleys to the lower 60s across milder portions of
the Central Valley.

Onshore gradients have slackened considerably since Wednesday, so
not expecting any stratus to make it inland into the Sacramento
region this morning. Temperatures will be up slightly for most
areas today with little or no synoptic warming.

Stronger wave moves down from the PacNW on Friday eventually
forming a closed low over the Great Basin by late in the day. A
few showers will be possible Friday afternoon in the Sierra south
of Lake Tahoe ahead of the strong short-wave.

However, the bigger impact will be gusty northerly winds that
develop Friday as a strong barrier jet sets up along the west side
of the Sacramento Valley and continues Friday night. MFR-SAC
gradient forecast to peak around 11 mbs with gusts around 40 mph
possible during the day in the valley and continuing Friday night
over the western foothills.

The closed low is forecast to remain centered near where the
Utah/Nevada/Idaho borders meet through the weekend. Temperatures
will remain a little above average with a chance of late day
showers and thunderstorms over the Sierra Nevada.

&&

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Monday THROUGH Thursday)
Next week a blocking pattern is expected across the region, with
an upper low centered over the Great Basin and an upper level over
the Pacific Northwest. This setup will bring cooler, near normal
temperatures along with mountain showers and afternoon/evening
thunderstorms. A Pacific upper low approaches mid week, keeping
this general pattern going through the rest of the week, and
bringing below normal temperatures. The core of the low moving is
currently expected to move inland late Thursday into Friday,
though there are hints of lingering mountain showers potentially
into the weekend. EK

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions continue over the next 24 hours at the TAF sites
with mostly clear skies and winds generally 10kt or less. Gusts to
30 kt possible in the Delta area this morning through 18z. EK

&&

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Wind Advisory from 10 AM to 6 PM PDT Friday for Central
Sacramento Valley-Northern Sacramento Valley-Southern Sacramento
Valley.
