.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.
