Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
230 AM PST Fri Feb 28 2020

.Synopsis...
Dry with above normal daytime temperatures again today. Cooler
with gusty wind this weekend along with a threat of showers,
mainly in the foothills and mountains. Dry and warmer early next
week with breezy north to east wind.

&&

.Discussion...
Pacific frontal system approaching the PacNW attm as lower
latitude closed upper low progresses towards the CA coast.
Abundant mid to high level cloudiness, associated with closed low,
lifting up into the area today. Cloudiness will help to lower max
temps, but highs will still be well above normal with potential
new records in the Southern Sac/Northern San Joaquin Valleys.

Frontal system tracks into the PacNW tonight into early Saturday,
then secondary colder short wave trough digs offshore near 130W
tomorrow. Increased dynamic/orographic forcing over the Shasta
mountains by the afternoon could result in some scattered light
showers. Significant cooling expected Saturday with locally breezy
conditions. High temperatures are forecast 10 to 15 degrees lower
than today.

Associated upper low then progged to dig south through the CWA
Saturday night and Sunday. CAA continues over the area Sunday with
breezy to windy conditions. Potential for some showers over
Interior NorCal, spreading from north to south, Saturday night and
Sunday. However, with limited available moisture, best chances
for precip will be over the eastern foothills and mountains. Snow
levels lower into the foothills Sunday, as snow ratios increase,
but little to no accumulations expected at those elevations. Bulk
of snow will fall over the higher elevations of Western Plumas
mountains and Sierra Nevada. 2 to 5 inches of snow are possible
at pass levels Sunday with locally up to near 8 inches over the
higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, south of Highway 50. Main
threat of precip for the Central Valley looks to be along the east
side, with only a few hundredths expected. Wind speeds continue
to ramp up Sunday, with potential for wind advisory in the
Northern and Central Sacramento Valley, extending into the western
foothills and Coastal Range, Sunday afternoon into evening.

Shower threat winds down Sunday evening as upper low digs into
SoCal and upper ridging drops in from the north. Breezy conditions
continue Sunday night into Monday under strong northerly flow
aloft and EPAC surface high building inland through OR into the
Great Basin. AMS warms Monday under increased subsidence and
downslope flow. Highs Monday return to above normal with upper 60s
in the Central Valley, 40s to low 60s for the mountains and
foothills.

PCH

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Tuesday THROUGH Friday)...
The extended period will start out dry and mild as a ridge of
high pressure builds back over interior NorCal. Forecast highs in
the Valley will be in the low to mid 70s, with mountain locations
in the mid 40s to low 60s. These temperatures are forecast to be 5
to 10 degrees above average for early March. Locally gusty north
winds are expected through Tuesday. Deterministic and ensemble
guidance show signs that the ridge may break down late next week.
This would suggest the possibility for some precipitation making
it down to interior NorCal. However, confidence in any specific
details is low at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions expected to persist over the next 24 hours. Winds
generally under 10 kts.

&&

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
