Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 345 AM PDT Sat May 30 2020

Synopsis. Low pressure moves through today bringing cooler weather with showers and thunderstorms with possible locally heavy precipitation. Threat of mountain showers and afternoon thunderstorms continues early next week.

DISCUSSION. 561 DM closed upper low approaching the Bay Area this morning with center progged to move inland invof of KSFO around 18z, then track through interior NorCal this afternoon. Forecast PWS over the CWA running around 1 to 1.5 inches to suggest potential for heavy precipitation. CAPE values trend up from the south this morning, spreading over much of the CWA this afternoon with values from 200-500 J/Kg. Elevated instability progs indicating widespread thunderstorm potential today with large areas of modified TT's above 30 over CWA. As upper low progresses inland later today, increasing SEly flow and upper level divergence combine over western portions of Shasta/Tehama counties, extending into the Coastal Range. HREF precip probabilities showing area of 0.5 inch/hr exceedance above 50 percent in watch area between 3 and 6 pm. The Carr-Hirz-Delta burn scar in Western Shasta will need to be watched. Flash flood potential will be dependent on cell speed and if training occurs over same region. Small hail will also be possible with stronger cells. Gusty winds can be expected, especially in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Clouds and synoptic cooling will result in high temperatures today upwards of 20 to 30 degrees lower than Friday.

Models progress upper low through Central Oregon tonight resulting in storm potential lifting northward through the CWA this evening and diminishing overnight. Secondary weaker trough moves through Sunday with possible late day showers over the higher elevations of Lassen Park and the Northern Sierra Nevada. High temps rebound some Sunday but remain below normal.

Short wave energy continues to feed into long wave trough early next week developing another upper low that remains quasi- stationary off the SoCal coast into midweek. Southerly diffluent flow will continue a threat of showers and afternoon thunderstorms over the mountains Mon/Tue. AMS warms Monday back to near normal with highs Tuesday forecast 5 to 10 degrees above normal.

PCH

EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday). Ensembles and deterministic models continue to show a cutoff low stalling just off the southern California coast for the middle of next week. Depending on how far north this low sets up, embedded shortwaves along the northern portion of the low could produce mountain shower and thunderstorm chances each afternoon next week, mainly over the northern Sierra. Other than that, dry and warm conditions are expected. Temperatures will warm back up to around 5 to 10 degrees above normal Wednesday through Thursday, in the low to mid 90s for the Valley and mountain highs in the 60s to 70s.

Ensembles still indicate a trough approaching from the Gulf of Alaska by Friday. GEFS and EPS continue to show cooling trend, with high temperatures near normal levels. There is also a chance of precipitation by later Friday for the northern mountains, with best potential later in the weekend. EK

AVIATION. VFR conditions at TAF sites will give way to scattered MVFR and isolated IFR in showers and thunderstorms today. Isolated elevated thunderstorms are developing in the Valley early this morning over the central and southern Sacramento Valley. A more extensive band of showers and will set up over the northern Sacramento Valley 15-03z. Scattered thunderstorms develop to the south after 18z. Delta Breeze 22-29 kts with gusts around 40 kts through the Carquinez Strait and into the Sac Delta. Widespread IFR/LIFR conditions over mtns today obscuring higher terrain.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. Flash Flood Watch through this evening for Mountains Southwestern Shasta County to Western Colusa County-Northern Sacramento Valley-Shasta Lake Area / Northern Shasta County.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
