Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 218 PM PST Sat Jan 16 2021

SYNOPSIS. Continued above normal temperatures and dry conditions are forecast to prevail this weekend. Strong winds possible early next week. Chance for mountain showers by next weekend.

DISCUSSION. High pressure continues to dominate the forecast today leaving most of northern California with clear skies and above normal temperatures. Valley sites currently span the mid 60s to the mid 70s, with the warmest temperatures being observed in the northern Sacramento Valley and Delta region. Sacramento Executive Airport (SAC), Downtown Sacramento (DTS), and Stockton (SCK) have a decent shot at tying or breaking their records. SAC and SCK's records are 69 degrees and DTS's record is 71, all of which were set in 2014. The Sacramento sites have 68% chance of exceeding 71 degrees. Modesto will struggle a bit to break their record, 69 degrees in 2014, but there is a 65% chance of tying it. Farther north, in Redding and Red Bluff's areas, their records are 80 degrees set back in 2014, which will be tougher to tie or break.

Tonight, guidance suggests the chance for some patchy fog in the from the Sacramento area down into the northern San Joaquin Valley. Otherwise, expect partly to mostly clear skies with overnight low temperatures forecast to be roughly 5 to 15 degrees above normal. Tomorrow, the ridge will continue to hold, thus we're expecting similar weather and high temperatures. Late Sunday into Monday, we'll see start to see major pattern change unfold. Ensemble and model guidance show a predominately moisture- starved shortwave quickly digging south from the Pacific Northwest and then traveling down the California coast. Models and ensembles then favor the trough digging to southern California about 12 hours later; with a secondary system sliding down the CA/NV border. Offshore surface pressure gradients will develop with this synoptic setup, resulting in periods of strong, potentially damaging north to east winds. The High Wind Watch remains in effect from Sunday night and continues through the day on Tuesday. Valley sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts 40 to 50 mph are possible, particularly along the west-side and in the Delta region. Even stronger winds are possible in the Sierra with gusts of 50 to 65 mph, local gusts of 75+ mph in the exposed peaks and ridgetops. High resolution models just starting to capture the onset of this wind event, and will keep a close eye as these models better- capture the duration of the event. Stay tuned for additional details. // Rowe/KR

EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday).

Forecast remains on track for the extended period. Ensemble guidance, including the 500mb cluster data, agrees with the EPAC ridge nosing into northern California on Wednesday. This will cause the trough to dig farther south, leading to lighter winds and mild high temperatures through Thursday. Friday into Saturday, ensemble guidance favors a trough digging into the region and brings more seasonal weather to the region. It may also bring light precipitation to the mountains and foothills, with the southern Cascades and Sierra being favored. NBM guidance highlights these areas well, thus kept it in for PoP guidance.

AVIATION.

VFR conditions remain thru this evening before areas of BR/FG form between 07-09Z south of KMYV. Surface winds are generally below 12 knots for the next 24 hours.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. High Wind Watch from late Sunday night through Tuesday evening for Carquinez Strait and Delta-Central Sacramento Valley- Motherlode-Mountains Southwestern Shasta County to Western Colusa County-Northeast Foothills/Sacramento Valley-Northern Sacramento Valley-Northern San Joaquin Valley-Shasta Lake Area / Northern Shasta County-Southern Sacramento Valley-West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada-Western Plumas County/Lassen Park.
