Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 200 PM PDT Sat Sep 19 2020
SYNOPSIS. Forecast high temperatures through next week expected to range from slightly above to slightly below normal at times.
DISCUSSION. Most areas are trending warmer today over the interior with a weak northerly flow. Zonal flow over the region on Sunday will allow for some warming over todays highs. The Delta breeze will remain light through daytime Sunday but increase slightly Sunday night.
A weak system will move into the Pacific Northwest Monday and Tuesday. This will bring a cooling trend to the interior with temperatures cooling back into the mid 80s for the valley for Tuesday. The trough over the West coast should help to keep wind blowing through the Delta throughout both days generally in the 10 to 20 mph range.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday).
Not much change from the night forecast package. Long range guidance continues to depict zonal flow over us while high pressure sits over southern CA and a progressive trough sets up over the PacNW. Expect generally dry conditions to prevail during this time frame with temperatures still looking to be slightly above normal for this time of year. Guidance does continue to show a trough pushing over southern OR and northern CA, but timing, intensity, and placement still differ. Followed suit with lower end PoP guidance, as ensembles looked to keep us dry.
AVIATION.
VFR conditions next 24 hours at TAF sites. Localized areas of MVFR conditions near wildfires. Winds generally under 10 kts at TAF sites.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.
