Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 234 PM PST Sun Dec 8 2019

SYNOPSIS. Lingering rain and mountain snow showers continue this afternoon, with drier weather returning late this evening. High pressure builds over the region on Monday, which will lead to a period of dry conditions and near average temperatures. More widespread precipitation could return late in the week.

DISCUSSION. Water vapor imagery and mid-level height fields show a positively-tilted trough slipping southward through central California. Cool temperatures aloft combined with daytime heating has fueled scattered showers generally south of Highway 50. A few of the more robust cells may produce a rumble of thunder or two. Across the higher terrain, generally above 5,500 feet, any such snow shower may briefly reduce visibilities. All of this activity should wind down by the evening hours as the upper low shifts farther south along with the loss of diurnal heating. Some residual cloud cover will likely linger into the evening with skies gradually clearing overnight. At this point expecting Valley fog to form given the level of moisture sitting on the ground and in agriculture. This would include the Sacramento and northern San Joaquin Valleys with any fog likely mixing out by mid/late Monday morning.

Heights will continue to build on Monday as an offshore ridge moves through. This ensures a period of dry weather to start the week with near average temperatures. The ridge axis crosses the state early Tuesday before a weak shortwave enters the picture for Tuesday evening into the following morning. Moisture seems to be meager so precipitation will be light, mainly focused over the northern Sacramento Valley and into the higher terrain. Any snowfall will lead to little to no accumulations. Lingering precipitation should diminish by midday Wednesday with the trough shifting into southern Nevada. ~BRO

EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Thursday THROUGH Sunday). We will see zonal flow for the start of the extended period. A short wave tracking into the PacNW Thursday will push a cold front into the region. This will bring the chance for some light showers over the higher elevations with the best chances north of I-80. Snow levels will be high and most of the activity will fall as rain. A stronger trough will dig into the area on Friday. Ensembles are in pretty good agreement with pushing a cold front south through the area Friday night. This will be the best chances for widespread precip activity. The trough axis will then push through on Saturday and this is going to keep widespread shower activity in the mountains throughout the day. Snow levels start out well above pass level but will be falling on Saturday and we could see some light snow down to pass level Saturday afternoon. We also could see breezy southerly winds Saturday morning/afternoon as the trough pushes east through the area.

Short wave riding builds in on Sunday and continues into Monday with dry weather expected. Temperatures will mainly be near average throughout the period.

-CJM

AVIATION. Scattered showers will be possible for KSCK and KMOD until 23z. MVFR conditions are expected until 23z for southern terminals due to low cigs, locally lower vis and cigs in any showers. Skies clear overnight with fog developing KMYV south. Low vis is expected from 10z to 17z brining widespread MVFR conditions with localized IFR. Winds remain under 10 knots.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
