Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 150 AM PST Tue Nov 5 2024
SYNOPSIS
Critical fire weather conditions from gusty north winds and dry conditions expected through Wednesday for portions of the Central Valley and Delta. A brief period of calmer weather arrives through the end of the week before the weather pattern becomes more unsettled this weekend into early next week.
DISCUSSION
As of early this morning, some upper level clouds are drifting across interior NorCal, with otherwise light winds and seasonable temperatures underneath. The aforementioned cloud cover is the product of an upper level shortwave currently ejecting out of British Columbia toward the Four Corners region. While precipitation impacts are expected to remain displaced well eastward of interior NorCal, the proximity of the mid level features associated with this system will introduce increasing north to east winds beginning later today.
As the shortwave digs toward the Four Corners throughout the day today, the nose of the attendant mid level jet is expected to filter into the Valley. This will allow for north winds gusting 25 to 35 mph through the Valley and Delta from late this morning into the afternoon. These increasing northerly winds will also work to lower humidity throughout the day as well, with daytime minimum humidity values into the teens to low 20s for much of interior NorCal.
Moving into the evening and overnight hours, the aforementioned shortwave is expected to dig southwestward from the Four Corners region toward the Great Basin/Desert Southwest. Given this trajectory and the deepening trough, the attendant mid level jet is expected to continue through the Valley into Wednesday. As a result, the strongest north to east winds are expected to occur overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, before gradually tapering down late in the day on Wednesday. While strongest wind gusts are expected from Interstate 5 westward, highest probabilities (70% to 90%) of wind gusts exceeding 45 mph are expected west of Interstate 5 and south of the Coastal Range into the Delta.
These persistent north winds are expected to limit overnight humidity recovery to generally around 35% to 50% in strongest wind areas. Additionally, daytime minimum humidity on Wednesday will remain similar to Tuesday, with teens to low 20s expected for much of interior NorCal. As a result, a Red Flag Warning goes into effect at 10 am PST today and continues through 4 pm PST on Wednesday for the Delta and western portions of the Central Valley. With the strongest winds expected late Tuesday through Wednesday, a Wind Advisory also goes into effect at 10 pm PST today, continuing through 6 pm PST on Wednesday for similar portions of the Delta and Central Valley.
Despite the somewhat more active upper level pattern, temperatures through the remainder of the week are expected to largely stagnate.
Upper 60s to mid 70s are expected across the Delta, Valley, and foothills, with 50s to 60s at higher elevations. Overnight low temperatures will fluctuate night to night, primarily dependent on cloud cover and overnight winds, and while frost potential at lower elevations is expected to remain near zero, probabilities of low temperatures less than 40F are sitting around 25% to 40%, particularly on Thursday and Friday morning.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Saturday THROUGH Tuesday)...
Moving into the weekend, ensemble guidance is in generally good agreement on a weak shortwave traveling across the Pacific Northwest. There is some uncertainty on the timing of this wave, but overall passage is expected midday Saturday into early Sunday.
While overall impacts are expected to be minimal at most, some isolated to scattered showers will be possible across the northern Valley and adjacent higher elevations. Even still, current probabilities of exceeding 0.1" of precipitation in these areas sit around 20% to 40% at this time. Ensemble guidance then begins to diverge from Sunday into next week as a longwave trough looks to impact interior NorCal in some capacity. While increasing precipitation potential will be possible during this time frame, there is large uncertainty in how this system will eventually progress. Regardless, a more unsettled weather pattern at the very least is anticipated toward the end of the extended forecast period.
AVIATION
VFR conditions expected to persist across interior NorCal next 24 hours. Generally light north to east winds 12 kts or less through the morning, gusting 20 to 30 kts after 17z. A secondary peak in north to east winds gusting 30 to 50 kts is then expected after 06z Wednesday, with strongest gusts through the Delta and along the Sierra.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
