Synopsis
Dry and warm weather will continue until Friday. Widespread rain, high elevation snow, and cooler weather return as we move into the weekend.
Discussion
Upper level ridging dominates the synoptic pattern over interior NorCal. Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue today with highs in the mid to upper 70s for Valley locations with 50s to 60s for the Foothills and higher elevations. While there will be some instability developing later this afternoon/evening, mainly from afternoon heating, the upper level high pressure/ridge should suppress deep convection from developing. A shower or two in the Sierra, mainly south of I-80, cannot be completely ruled out today in the afternoon and evening hours.
Ridging begins to break down and weaken as we move into Wednesday, which will allow for high temperatures to return to closer to normal. A few late-afternoon showers may be possible, mainly in Shasta County north of Redding cannot be ruled out on Wednesday and Thursday as our upper level pattern shifts into more of a westerly component. As we move into Friday, an upper level low located in the PacNW will begin to move east and bring more widespread precipitation chances to the area, beginning Friday morning. Precipitation will begin along the Coastal Range then spread throughout the region as we move into the late morning/afternoon hours. Heaviest precipitation is expected late Friday, along with a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms to develop in the Valley, Foothills and the Sierra. Snow levels will be at around 6000-7000 feet Friday, with National Blend of Models (NBM)
projecting around a 30-50% probability of 4" inches of snow or more above 6000 feet on Friday in the Sierra. Rain showers and mountain snow showers will continue as we move into the weekend, as our region will be under a troughing pattern into next week.
.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Saturday THROUGH Tuesday)...
As mentioned above, NorCal will be under a troughing pattern as we enter the extended period. Periods of Valley showers and mountain snow showers are expected to continue through Tuesday.
Overall, a general 0.25" to 1.25" inches of rainfall is forecast for the Valley, with higher totals of 1-3" inches expected in the Foothills and mountains. A 10-25% probability of thunderstorm development also exists on Saturday afternoon/evening for the Valley and Foothills. Snow levels on Saturday will be around 4000-5000 feet, lower to 3500-4500 feet on Sunday, then climb back up to 4000-5000 feet on Monday and Tuesday. Forecast snowfall accumulation is around 1-2 feet for elevations higher than 6000 feet from late Friday into Monday morning, with around 3-8 inches at 5000 feet forecast. Latest QPF runs from the NBM have brought snow totals down, so forecast uncertainty on totals remains high.
Lingering showers and mountain snow showers are possible as we move through Monday and Tuesday, although little additional accumulations are expected.
High temperatures will fall into the low to mid 60s for the Valley through the extended, and higher elevations will be in low 30s to upper 40s. By Tuesday evening, upper level ridging is forecast to build back in over the region and reduce precipitation chances for the region. Clusters are fairly consistent in showing ridging developing off-shore late Tuesday, however there is disagreement on location of the ridging and magnitude at this time.
AVIATION
VFR conditions next 24 hours. Surface wind gusts less than 12 kts except vicinity west Delta southwest 15-25 kts, strongest after 00Z Wednesday.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
