Synopsis
Breezy and mostly dry conditions continue today for most of the area. An isolated thunderstorm is possible over the mountains and foothills of the Sierra mainly north and along I-80 through late this evening. A few observations of lightning from early morning and afternoon storms have been observed along the foothills of Plumas County. The Fire Weather Watch has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning in effect from 8 AM PDT Sunday - 8 PM PDT Monday, as a weather system will follow a classic inside slider pattern and bring gusty north winds and low daytime relative humidity values to the Valley. Fine fuels are dry, and in combination with the dry north winds and low RH values, are the biggest threats for fire starts and rapid growth.
Dry and hot conditions will follow on Tuesday with areas of Moderate HeatRisk in the Valley and elevated fire weather conditions due to continued drying and low RH values. Upper level ridging looks to build in the Pacific Ocean until at least next Friday, when heights will flatten slightly and lower high temperatures slightly into the low 90s with Minor HeatRisk.
Key Messages
* Red Flag Warning in effect from 8 am PDT Sunday through 8 pm PDT Monday for Valley and Delta locations below 1000 feet.
* Today: -Weather system begins to drop southward from Pacific NW.
-10-25% probability of isolated thunderstorms across northeast foothills and Sierra/southern Cascades from Interstate 80 northward. Best chances for t-storm development through this afternoon, chances diminish into the late evening hours.
-Little to no rainfall anticipated outside of any thunderstorms that develop, as most energy with this system is in the Great Basin region. Little to no snow expected either, some light flurries above 7500 feet south of US-50.
-Temperatures cooling to near normal, with breezy winds throughout the day.
* Sunday - Monday: -Current ensemble trends indicate the expected weather system following an inside slider trajectory through the region.
-Gusty north to east winds expected to develop Sunday and Monday as this system progresses, with lingering breezy winds into Tuesday.
-Probability of gusts 35 mph or higher: --Sunday: 40-70%, highest along and west of I-5 in the Sacramento Valley.
--Monday: 20-40% across the central/southern Sacramento Valley and Delta.
-Critical fire weather conditions expected Sunday and Monday, due to the combination of gusty northerly winds and low relative humidity in the central/southern Sacramento Valley, Delta, and northern San Joaquin Valley. Highest threat area(s): Central and Southern Sacramento Valley along and west of the I-5 corridor, and the Northern San Joaquin Valley. Winds have trended slightly lower and RH values slightly higher in the northern Sacramento Valley, however critical fire weather conditions are still expected.
* Tuesday - Thursday: -Warming trend expected early to mid next week, with areas of Moderate HeatRisk across the Valley.
-North to east winds expected to remain diurnally breezy while very dry conditions prevail.
