Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 230 AM PDT Thu Apr 18 2024

Synopsis
Warm and dry weather continues through the week. Locally breezy at times.

Discussion
Clear skies cover interior NorCal early this morning. Northerly surface pressure gradient has relaxed since Wednesday, but east gradient has tightened a bit. Still seeing some local north to east wind gusts of 15-25 mph across the northern mountains and northern Sierra, and northerly gusts of 10-20 mph over the northern Sacramento Valley. Current temperatures are similar to 24 hours ago and range from the mid 30s to mid 40s over the mountains to the 50s to mid 60s in the Central Valley.

Upper level ridging will continue dry and mild weather with above average temperatures through the weekend. Valley highs will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s, with 70s to near 80 in the foothills, and 50s to 70s in the mountains. Occasional high clouds will be possible, but the airmass will likely remain too stable to support deeper convection and any showers.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Monday THROUGH Thursday)...
Upper ridge axis shifts through interior NorCal Monday continuing dry conditions with above normal temperatures. Models then suggest upper low will approach CA Tuesday, but differ significantly with depth and position of it. EC keeps lower latitude cut-off low offshore through Wednesday, then weakens it to trough as it moves through SoCal Thursday. GFS progs deeper low farther north and off the West Coast through Thursday, as secondary low injects into main system. Model discrepancies lead to forecast uncertainty. NBM introduces slight chance POPs over the northern and eastern foothills/mountains Wednesday with higher POPs Thursday which also include a threat of showers in the Northern and Central Sac Valley. High temperatures expected to return to near normal Tuesday, then below normal Wednesday and Thursday.

AVIATION
VFR conditions over interior NorCal next 24 hrs with sfc wind mainly at or below 12 kts.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
