NWS Local Northern CA. Outlook Discussion
202 FXUS66 KSTO 161046 AFDSTO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 246 AM PST Sun Feb 16 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Light showers move through today, mainly this morning and north of Interstate 80. Dry weather returns Tuesday, with breezy northerly winds, then another weak system brings light precipitation Wednesday. Dry weather then returns with a warming trend into next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Radar shows a band spreading from northwest to southeast from the northern Coastal Range through the northern Sacramento Valley and into the far northern Sierra. Precipitation amounts so far (230AM) range from a 0.03 hundredths of an inch at Redding Airport to around 0.15 inches in the mountains and foothills of Shasta County. This precipitation is associated with a shortwave moving through Northern California. Mesoscale models show this band moving down to around the I-80 corridor by the late morning. Rainfall impacts will be limited, with higher amounts over the Shasta County mountains with up to around 0.20 to 0.40 inches, generally around a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch over the Sacramento Valley. Snow levels will be around 5000 to 6000 feet today, with generally a dusting of snow possible down to 5000 feet, and 1 to 2 inches of snowfall above 6000 feet. Elsewhere expect clouds with high temperatures similar to those on Saturday. The quick moving shortwave exits by mid-day Monday, with just some light lingering showers, mainly over the mountains of Shasta County. Cloud cover decreases in the afternoon. Warmer temperatures are expected Tuesday as a ridge briefly moves in. Highs will be in low to mid 60s across the Delta and Valley by afternoon. Breezy northerly wind gusts to 15 to 20 mph are expected. Another weak system moves in Wednesday. Most precipitation will again be north of I-80, though chances of light rain will extend further into the northern San Joaquin Valley as the shortwave tracks a little farther southward. Snow amounts will again be limited to a dusting to a few inches above 6000 feet. && .EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Thursday THROUGH Sunday)... Ensemble guidance and clusters following the midweek system have very high confidence in a strong longwave ridge building in across the western CONUS through the end of the week and into the following weekend, bringing a dry and warm pattern. A warming trend is strongly indicated, with the Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) shows a signal for well above normal temperatures by Saturday. Probabilities of some readings into the 70s across the Delta, Valley, and foothills by Saturday are around 40 to 75 percent, 50 to 80 percent by Sunday. The Climate Prediction Center Outlooks through 6 to 14 days project above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation. && .AVIATION... General VFR conditions continue across interior NorCal over the next 24 hours. Light surface winds are expected with gusts under 12 kts. Chances for showers extend down to the Sacramento metro area. Local MVFR conditions are possible over the mountains and into portions of the Northern Sacramento Valley throguh 18z. && .STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$
