Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 230 AM PDT Tue Apr 30 2024

Synopsis
Mild and dry weather this week. Occasionally breezy. Light precipitation chances return this weekend.

Dry and mild weather will persist through Friday as short-wave troughs pass to the north over broad ridging covering the eastern Pacific and NorCal. Precipitation chances will remain well to the north of the region across the PacNW, though occasional bouts of north to east wind are expected as surface pressure gradient tightens in the wake of each of these waves. The strongest period of northerly winds is expected tonight and Wednesday with gusts of 35-45 mph possible in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding terrain with the strongest winds forecast to occur to the northwest of Sacramento along the west side of the valley (NBM probabilities are around 60-100 percent for reaching that range for wind gusts). Difficult driving conditions can be expected and loose objects may blow around, and a Wind Advisory has been posted.
Valley high temperatures will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s.
