NWS Local Northern CA. Outlook Discussion
000 FXUS66 KSTO 212148 AFDSTO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 248 PM PDT Sat May 21 2022 .Synopsis... Periods of breezy north winds and low humidity will bring elevated fire weather conditions through the middle of next week, especially Tuesday. Moderate heat risk through the middle of next week. Dry weather through next week. && .Discussion... A warming trend remains on track this afternoon with temperatures running 5 to 12 degrees warmer than yesterday`s readings. Northerly gradients have relaxed, although some local gusts up to 20 mph are observed across portions of the northern Sacramento Valley. Periods of breezy northerly winds remain in the forecast through mid-week as disturbances pass to the east. Wind gusts from 20-25 mph will be possible through Monday, mainly in the northern Sacramento Valley and over the mountains. The combination of breezy northerly winds and very low humidity will likely lead to elevated fire weather conditions. Ensembles then show offshore winds strengthening late Monday night into Tuesday as a shortwave drops into the Great Basin. Model guidance indicates that the MFR-SAC gradient could peak at around 10-13 mbs. ECMWF ensemble meteograms show mean gusts from 30-35 mph for some western Valley locations north of I-80, with some members to around 40 mph. In addition, NBM 4.1 probabilities show a 50-70% chance of wind gusts exceeding 40 mph across portions of the western Sacramento Valley. This event is not expected to be as strong as our last one. However, this could result in additionally heightened fire weather concerns on Tuesday. Ensemble guidance advertises a strengthening ridge this weekend into mid-week that will promote a warming trend across interior NorCal. This will bring widespread 90s to the Valley early next week. By Tuesday, Valley highs will be in the upper 90s to around 100. The heat risk will run in the moderate category across the Valley through mid-week, impacting groups that are sensitive to the heat. && .EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Wednesday THROUGH Saturday)... The heat will continue and peak on Wednesday with Valley temperatures around 100 degrees. Then, Thursday will see some relief as a trough deepens and makes its way onshore. Temperatures are expected to be about 10 degrees cooler Thursday and another 5 degrees on Friday. There is some uncertainty in the clusters on the timing of the trough, but there is decent confidence that along with the cooler temperatures, this sytem will bring onshore flow and higher humidities, bringing some relief to fire weather concerns. This system could bring light precipitation chances to far Northern California late week. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions next 24 hours. Light winds through 10Z Sunday, then northerly surface wind gusts 15-25 knots over the western Valley. && .STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$
