Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Valley Springs, CA

DISCUSSION

Today and Wednesday
As troughing over the Great Basin/Desert Southwest ejects eastward through the middle of the week, winds will continue to lessen relative to the past weekend. As ridging builds in offshore of the Pacific Northwest, a deepening trough over SoCal/Baja will leave interior NorCal underneath nebulous split flow mid to late week. Despite this, rising heights aloft will introduce gradually warming temperatures and areas of Moderate HeatRisk beginning on Wednesday. As a result, high temperatures in the 90s are expected in the Valley, with 70s to 80s at higher elevations.

Thursday into the Weekend
As the split flow pattern and higher heights aloft persist into the end of the week, warm temperatures and Moderate HeatRisk look to stick around through Friday. Warmest temperatures, into the mid to upper 90s in the Valley, are anticipated on Thursday before gradually cooling toward and into the weekend. Despite some ensemble uncertainty, broad troughing aloft is on track to build in over the weekend helping to reinforce breezy onshore winds and temperatures nearer to normal for mid to late May. While periodically breezy onshore winds are expected to develop by Thursday evening, strongest winds are currently on track this weekend into early next week.

AVIATION

VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Light northerly winds less than 10 kts expected through the afternoon, becoming light and variable after 00z Wednesday.
