.SHORT TERM...Through Sunday Night...A warm front has moved
onshore and is directing a moisture plume on shore. This is
bringing showers to the area, one band along and east of the
Cascades, the other moving onshore now. Some isolated showers also
exist outside of these main bands as well. Amounts in the past
six hours from this current front are at 0.1" to 0.2" in the
Cascades and Siskiyous and less than 0.1" everywhere else. At the
moment road cameras show overall dry conditions and support these
more sparse rain accumulation observations.
As the warm front continues to push onshore the snow level will
hover between 5000 and 5500 feet. Precipitation amounts will pick
up in the coming hours as well, though most of the precipitation
will remain over NorCal. With the heavier precipitation rates in
NorCal, the snow level may drop at times down to 4500 feet. In
Siskiyou County, there is a winter storm warning for above 4500
feet to highlight the winter impacts. Please read the Winter Storm
Watch product for more details (WSWMFR).
As the cold front, currently well offshore, moves towards the
coast later this evening, winds will continue to increase. A wind
advisory is out for the Shasta and southern Rogue valley, as well
as a high wind warning for the coast. Driving conditions could
become difficult for high profile vehicles and weak tree branches
may fall.
These wind and snow impacts will continue into Saturday morning
with another warm and cold front right behind it. Snow levels have
trended down behind the cold front with this next system and
precipitation amounts again are expected to be focused along the
coast and over NorCal. We have issued a winter storm watch for
almost the same area of NorCal, except above 3000 feet this time.
In addition, this system will again bring gusty winds and we have
issued high wind watches for the Shasta Valley and higher terrain
of the East Side. We will wait for the warnings and advisories in
effect currently to drop before we upgrade the current watches.
There may also be a need for further wind advisories in the
greater area of the Shasta Valley and in the southern end of the
Rogue Valley.
With both today's series of fronts and tomorrow's, we expect rain
shadowing to occur in the west side valleys. So if you plan to
travel over the passes, do not be fooled by what is expected to be
dry conditions. Check the forecast and plan for at least lightly
wet, winter weather driving conditions.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday). The pattern will
remain active for the foreseeable future with a parade of systems
moving the area. The pattern that has set up over the Pacific
remains fairly consistent with systems lined up as far west as the
Aleutians.
The main challenge during this time will be the timing, intensity,
and track of each individual upper low trough, surface fronts and
surface low pressures. The main change from what was discussed
yesterday are that there is better clarity among the operational
ECMWF, GFS and there respective individual ensemble members.
Right now it looks like Sunday nights/Mondays storm will be the
strongest of the lot in terms of precipitation and winds. Even then
the bullseye of the precip will be in northern California, and
perhaps the southern coastal range. These areas have the best chance
of getting moderate to occasionally heavy precipitation from Sunday
night into Monday afternoon, although precipitation could end up
diminishing Monday afternoon along the coast and south coastal
range.
Another, but weaker storm will be on the heels of Mondays' storm and
impacting mostly northern California, however precipitation amounts
are not expected to be as significant, and it should not be as
windy.
Snow levels during this time will fluctuate, especially during
periods of when the warm front moves through where they can end up
around 5000 feet, followed by the cold front where they could lower
to around 4000 feet. Areas above 5000 feet are likely to have some
travel impacts. Thats' not to day areas above 4000 wont't but the
chances will be diminished some.
We'll catch "relative" break in the action as short wave ridging
builds in Tuesday night into Wednesday, before the next system
arrives bringing increasing precipitation and gusty winds.
One thing to note: A large upper trough west of Wednesday's system
is expected to dig which could result in the bulk of the
precipitation to remain along the coast and offshore Wednesday night
through Thursday, then by the time it makes its way inland we could
see a flow split which typically puts a cap on the amount of
precipitation and less concern for wind.
There is "some" evidence supporting the continued wet and windy
pattern through at least the middle of the month, followed by a
pattern change for the latter part of the month with troughing
developing in the eastern part of the U.S. with riding building over
the Pacific Northwest. A different data set (showing the same
parameters) were not as convincing yesterday, but today it's showing
some promise. -Petrucelli

.AVIATION...06/18Z TAFs...Mainly VFR is expected through the morning
with a few light showers and local terrain obscuration along the
coast. Low level wind shear is also expected as this systems pushes
onshore. The coast appears the most impacted location for wind shear
as winds aloft will be quite strong, but low level wind shear is
expected at all TAF locations sometime during the next 24 hours.
Winds at about 2200 feet will be about 60 knots over the waters.
Otherwise, VFR will prevail through the day farther inland as rain
begins to move in through the day. There could be some pockets of
MVFR visibilities under heavier rain showers and briefly lower
ceilings. This is especially true along the coast as a cold front
stalls out overnight increasing the possibility of periods of MVFR
under heavier rain.
&&
.MARINE...Updated 200 PM PST Friday 6 January 2023...Strong winds
will result in Gales through this evening, and there's a chance a
few gusts could approach Storm Force. A front will move through the
waters tonight with winds gradually diminishing, but the combination
of winds and steep seas will result in Small Craft conditions late
this evening into Saturday. Another front approaches the waters
Saturday evening and south winds will increase again and could
approach gales Saturday evening into Sunday. With increased swell
combining with increased wind waves Hazardous Seas Warning
criteria are possible over all the waters Saturday evening into
Sunday night.
Next week the pattern remains active with a series of storms
impacting the waters resulting in a continuation of marine
headlines. However the timing and duration could change from day to
day.
