Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 123 PM PDT Sat Jun 1 2024

SYNOPSIS
Slight cooldown through Monday before a significant warmup to widespread Major HeatRisk and triple digits in the Valley by mid- week. An Excessive Heat Watch remains in effect for the lower elevations from Tuesday morning until Thursday evening. Peak heat expected Wednesday. Slight chance of showers for the Coastal Range and northern monutains on Monday. Slight chance for late-day shower/thunderstorm over the Sierra Nevada Thursday-Saturday.

DISCUSSION

Discussion at a Glance:

- Cooler through Monday with periods of increased onshore flow and Delta Breeze.
- An Excessive Heat Watch remains in effect from Tuesday morning through Thursday evening across the Valley and adjacent foothills.
- Areas of Major HeatRisk Tuesday for the Valley, becoming widespread Wednesday & Thursday for the Valley & Foothills with widespread triple digit high temperatures. Prepare now for elevated daytime highs and overnight lows and reconsider outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day (3:00-7:00 PM).
- Moderate HeatRisk next Friday, with a few isolated spots of Major HeatRisk in the Valley; Triple digits in the Northern Sacramento Valley and adjacent Valley foothills with low to mid 90s in the Delta and Sacramento metro area - Slight chance of showers for the Coastal Range and northern mountains on Monday. Slight chance for late-day shower or thunderstorm over the Sierra Nevada Thursday-Saturday.

Short-Term Discussion (Today THROUGH Tuesday)...

Current GOES-West visible satellite imagery illustrates mostly sunny skies with just a few passing high level clouds and a few mountain cumulus over the southern Cascades and northern Sierra Nevada. Temperatures are currently trending approximately 2 to 12 degrees cooler than this time yesterday afternoon, valid at 1 PM PDT. This slight cooling is a result of upper level troughing over the region. These cooler temperatures will continue through Monday, with generally Minor HeatRisk, and areas of Moderate HeatRisk in portions of the northern and central Sacramento Valley. Periods of onshore flow will also aid in the cooler temperatures over this timeframe, with afternoon and evening gusts of 15 to 25 mph in the Delta area and adjacent Valley locations.

On Monday, a weather system will move through the Pacific Northwest. For interior northern California, we can expect slightly cooler temperatures, increased onshore flow, and increasing cloud cover. This system will also allow for slight chances for showers over portions of the Coast Range and northern mountains. There is a 15 to 35 percent probability of precipitation amounts of 0.10" or greater on Monday over those aforementioned locations, so overall little to no impacts are expected from any precipitation that falls. Dry conditions will continue elsewhere in the Valley, foothills, and Sierra Nevada.

Upper level ridging begins to build in on Tuesday, bringing along the start of a significant warming trend to interior NorCal. An Excessive Heat Watch remains in effect starting Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday, Major HeatRisk is in the forecast for much of the Valley and even into portions of the foothills. The probability for reaching or exceeding 100 degrees for the daytime high on Tuesday is 50 to 80 percent in the Valley. This significant warm- up will continue into the extended forecast period.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday)...

Ensemble guidance indicates that upper level ridging continues to build mid-week over the Western US, bringing along the potential for dangerously hot temperatures through at least Thursday.
Widespread Major HeatRisk is currently expected to impact the Valley and foothills on Wednesday and Thursday, with triple digit temperatures in the Valley and warm overnight low temperatures.
The Excessive Heat Watch remains in effect through Thursday evening to address the significant heat. Peak heat is currently projected to be on Wednesday. The National Blend of Models (NBM)
shows a 65 to 95 percent probability of 100 degree highs or greater in the Valley on Wednesday and Thursday, with a 30 to 70 percent probability in the lower foothills over the same timeframe.

By Friday, slightly cooler but still hot temperatures are in the forecast with Moderate HeatRisk, as ensemble guidance indicates the ridge shifting east. However, there is still some uncertainty with the details in the cluster analysis that is resulting in a larger spread of potential high temperatures for Friday and into next weekend. Late-day mountain shower and thunderstorm chances return to the Sierra Nevada as well, with generally a 10 to 20 percent probability over the High Sierra mainly south of Interstate 80 from Thursday through Saturday, in the afternoon and evening hours. Additionally, area waterways continue to run fast and cold from snowmelt, creating dangerous conditions for those seeking relief in rivers and lakes next week. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer and plan ahead now to practice heat and cold water safety!
