Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sacramento CA
305 AM PDT Thu Apr 7 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Unseasonably warm through Friday with record or near record high
temperatures. Gusty winds with elevated fire weather concerns
return over the weekend. Much cooler with shower chances early
next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Satellite imagery shows a few high clouds approaching the NorCal
coast, otherwise skies remain clear across the region. The
northerly surface pressure gradient has slackened considerably
since Wednesday morning, however the easterly gradient is tighter
(around 8 mbs RNO to SAC) and the usual windy spots in the
northern Sierra are seeing gusts in the 20-30 mph range while
Jarbo Gap is gusting to around 40 mph.

Current temperatures are very mild with many locales seeing
readings that are running 5-10 degrees milder compared to this
time early Wednesday. Temperatures are presently in the 50s to
lower 60s across much of the Central Valley.

The main short-term weather concerns continue to focus on the
unseasonably warm temperatures today and Friday with record (or
near record) highs possible, and then the strong northerly
breezes over the weekend as the warmth abates. The strong ridge
peaks over the area today, then begins to shift east on Friday as
the next upstream trough moves into the PacNW.

Current records for today.
Redding/Redding Airport.....94 in 1924
Red Bluff...................97 in 1989
Downtown Sacramento.........91 in 1989
Sacramento Exec.............90 in 1989
Stockton....................91 in 1989
Modesto.....................94 in 1989

Current records for Friday.
Redding/Redding Airport.....93 in 1989
Red Bluff...................96 in 1989
Downtown Sacramento.........91 in 1989
Sacramento Exec.............90 in 1989
Stockton....................90 in 1989
Modesto.....................92 in 1989

It's still looking like an extended period of breezy to windy
conditions will develop over the weekend as NorCal will be on the
backside of the trough as it digs into the western US. Still some
uncertainty in the details, but ensembles continue to point
toward potential for a solid wind advisory level event (gusts
40-50 mph) for the Sacramento Valley and surrounding terrain.
Elevated fire weather conditions, local power outages and
difficult driving conditions will be possible.

In addition to the wind, temperatures will be dramatically cooler
over the weekend (around 15-20 degrees cooler compared to today)
and will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s across the Central
Valley by Sunday.

&&

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Monday THROUGH Thursday)...
A generally cool and unsettled week is expected next week. On
Monday model ensembles are in good agreement that a cold upper
level trough will drop down into the area from western Canada.
There has been some increased confidence in the potential for
precipitation and for higher amounts. Ensemble members are showing
better confidence for some rain and mountain snow, though exact
amounts remain uncertain. The trajectory of this system favors the
northern Sierra, where up to three quarters of an inch of liquid
equivalent are currently projected. Due to the cold nature of this
system, this would be mainly in the form of snow over the
mountains and upper foothills, with storm totals Monday and
Tuesday of around 5 to 10 inches possible above 4,000 feet. If
these amounts hold up, this would mean travel impacts Monday and
Monday night for mountain highways, especially for the Sierra
passes. If you must travel during this period it is a good idea to
plan ahead for winter driving conditions, including having chains
and winter clothing in your vehicle.

Cold air aloft will bring some unstable conditions, and this could
lead to a few isolated thunderstorms Monday afternoon. Any details
on this potential will have to wait until we get closer to the
period.

Breezy north to northwesterly winds are expected Monday and
Tuesday, but won't be as strong and increased RH levels should
diminish fire weather concerns. An unsettled pattern continues for
the rest of the week with below normal high temperatures. Lows
could drop into the upper 30s Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
Another reinforcing shortwave from western Canada is possible
Wednesday night into Thursday, with the possibility for some
precipitation, but confidence is low at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions continue over the next 24 hours. Local northerly
winds generally less than 12kts in the Valley and the Delta today.

&&

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