Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 339 AM PDT Sat Mar 28 2020

Synopsis. Unsettled weather is expected over the weekend with showers and mountain snow showers. Threat of showers persists in the north Monday and Tuesday, otherwise drier and much warmer into the middle of next week.

Discussion. Warm advection is spreading light precipitation into the northwestern California coast ahead of a positively-tilted short wave trough. Mesoscale models suggest this precipitation could reach western Shasta County around 5-7 am, then spread into the rest of the northern Coastal Range and Delta by 10 am, reaching the northern Sierra by around noon. The trough tracks inland later in the day. Model ensembles show rain amounts of around .05" to .15" are expected by early evening. Snow levels are forecast to be around 4500-5000 feet, with snow amounts during the day ranging from a dusting to an inch.

Conditions trend wetter Saturday night into Sunday as reinforcing wave with a cold front pushes inland, but moisture is somewhat lacking, so rain and snowfall amounts should remain light to moderate. Have introduced a slight chance of thunderstorms Sunday afternoon over the Delta and western San Joaquin Valley with some modest instability there in potential clearing behind the front.

Total Valley rainfall amounts will range from 0.20 to 0.50 inches. Over the Sierra/Cascade range, NBM projects 3 to 5 inches of snow with higher amounts around mountain ridges. While snow rates and total amounts are modest, some mountain travel delays are possible on any snow covered roads.

On Monday, trough from the Gulf of Alaska passes through the Pacific Northwest, with the southern portion of a cold front brushing through the northern mountains and northern Sacramento Valley. This will keep shower chances in those areas, with the bulk of the precipitation remaining further to the north. Expect cloudy skies along with periods of light rain showers to dominate Monday with total amounts staying under a tenth of an inch. For Monday, temperatures will rebound quite a bit from the weekend with mostly sunny skies likely from I-80 southward.

Tuesday warms quite a bit, although some clouds and lingering light showers remain possible over the mountains of Shasta County. Valley highs in the low 70s are expected. This begins a warming and drying trend. EK EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday).

Ensemble mean and latest deterministic runs support the idea of broad ridging amplifying by the end of next week resulting in dry weather and gradually milder temperatures across the region. Highs are forecast to around 5-15 degrees above average.

AVIATION.

Mostly VFR conditions are expected thru about 20Z, then areas of MVFR with local IFR conditions as showers develop across the region. Snow level 040-050. Winds generally less than 10 kts.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

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.
