Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 1206 PM PDT Sat Oct 17 2026
For additional details on weather and expected impacts over the next 7 days, please visit weather.gov/sto/briefing.
KEY MESSAGES
- Elevated Fire Weather Conditions continue in the Sierra and adjacent foothills, portions of the Sacramento Valley through this evening.
- Gradual cool down begins Sunday with renewed precipitation chances by the middle of next week.
- Onshore flow returns Sunday evening, providing temperature relief and improved overnight/daytime humidity values Monday through next week.
DISCUSSION
...Rest of Today - Sunday...
Mostly clear skies once again across interior NorCal this morning.
High temperatures beginning to climb into the lower 70s across the Valley floor, with continued warming into the upper 80s/low 90s expected. Upper level pattern reveals high pressure moving further north and east out of our area, with a closed low off SoCal's coast being the primary driver of our sensible weather. Pattern will allow for very dry conditions to persist in the mountains and foothills today, along with west winds however much weaker compared to the last few days. With fuels/ERCs still very dry/high, elevated fire weather conditions will persist through the mountains and adjacent foothills today. SoCal low will weaken Sunday, while a PacNW trough begins to dig south ushering in the return of onshore flow to the region by Sunday evening. Highs will still be in the 80s in the Valley with slightly improved humidities throughout the day. Overnight humidity recoveries will improve significantly as well, helping mitigate some of the fire weather concerns in the Valley and higher elevations.
...Monday-Tuesday...
By Monday, closed low has developed and will continue to dig south off the coast. Monday and Tuesday we will see our high temperatures fall significantly into the upper 60s to low 70s in the Valley with enhanced onshore flow. Wind gusts up to around 35 mph in the Delta, upslope gusts up to 40 in the mountains along the peaks and ridges. Ensembles continue to show the low pressure further west off the coastline, which may inhibit some of the precipitation chances early next week. Nonetheless, NBM keeps slight chances of Valley showers in the forecast late Monday night into Tuesday, but confidence is very low on any activity at this time. Better precipitation and isolated rumbles of thunder arrive on Wednesday.
...Wednesday - Late Next Week...
Low pressure still meanders off the coast, but subtle eastward movement on Wednesday may increase the precipitation chances across the area Wednesday and Thursday. Latest NBM run has removed most of the QPF totals from the Valley, with most less than 0.10" total rain south of Sacramento. Higher rain totals still forecast in the foothills and mountains Wed-Thu, along with best chances of t-storms on Wednesday as a shortwave trough ejects from parent low and moves inland. Trends continue to push precipitation chances further along in the week, so confidence remains low on activity developing. Snow levels look to remain above 8000 feet, and NBM runs reduced snow totals to below 4 inches, south of HWY-50 Tue- Thu. High confidence in pattern change, more fall like temperatures, onshore winds returning; with low confidence on precipitation chances and totals next week.
AVIATION
VFR conditions prevail across interior NorCal next 24 hours. Light surface winds in the Valley generally below 12 knots. Occasional wind gusts up to 20 knots in higher elevations next 24 hours.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
