NWS Local Northern CA. Outlook Discussion
000 FXUS66 KSTO 032205 AFDSTO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 205 PM PST Fri Feb 3 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Dry weather with patchy morning fog before a stronger system moves through Saturday night and Sunday bringing gusty winds, rain and heavy mountain snow. Dry weather returns and continues for much of next week. && .Discussion... The main part of the upper level trough and low pressure center is begining to push into BC this afternoon with a short wave trough pushing to our east. A few light showers are lingering over southeast portions of the area. These showers will continue to diminish as the afternoon goes on. Ridging will be building to our east tonight into tomorrow and that will bring a break from rain and snow into Saturday. We will see some clearing this evening but high clouds will quickly move in overnight ahead of our next system for later Saturday into Sunday. This does bring some uncertainty for fog potential tonight but given the light rain today and some clearing expected we should see some patchy fog develop from around Marysville south. If we see more clearing some of the fog could be dense. Upper level trough and cold front then approach the region Saturday afternoon into Sunday. This will bring the return of rain and snow. Precip will move in mainly after 4 pm but some light activity will be possible before that. Widespread rain and snow is expected for the evening into the overnight. The cold front will push south of us by daybreak Sunday with the trough axis digging down the coast. This is going to keep showers in the forecast throughout the day Sunday. Models build in 100-500 j/kg of CAPE by Sunday afternoon mainly from about Chico south. This is also the same area that should see better forcing during the afternoon with the trough. A few isolated thunderstorms will be possible. Soundings are not overly impressive with most of the better shear above 500 mb. We still see 0-1 km shear up to 20 knots which might be enough for a funnel cloud or two but overall the threat looks low. The main concern with any convection would be brief heavy rain and small hail. A few showers will linger into Sunday night over the mountains, otherwise dry conditions set in with upper level ridging developing on Monday. QPF with this system are looking to be 0.25-0.75" in the Valley, 0.75-2" in the foothills, and 1-3" in the mountains. Snow levels initially start out 5500 to 6500 feet late Saturday afternoon and lower to 3500 to 4500 feet on Sunday. The majority of the snow accumulation will be above 4500 feet but light snow accumulation is expected down to around 4000 feet Sunday. 1 to 3 feet of snow is expected above 5000 feet and 3 to 15 inches above 4000 feet. Quiet and dry weather is expected on Monday. -CJM && .EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Tuesday THROUGH Friday)... Overall we will see quiet weather for the extended period. Ensembles bring in a trough mid-week and are struggling with the placement. It is favored to stay to our north over the PacNW but 30% or so of the members bring it further south. If we would see this further south solutions some light mountain showers will be possible Wednesday. Ridging is then favored for the end of the week. Highs will be seasonal with chilly overnight lows. -CJM && .AVIATION... Lingering light showers possible through this afternoon, tapering off by the evening hours. Southerly wind gusts up to 25-40 kts over higher terrain through 00Z Saturday. Local MVFR/IFR visibilities after 10Z-12Z Saturday with BR/FG across portions of the Sacramento Valley and northern San Joaquin Valley. A stronger weather system will bring widespread precipitation after 22z Saturday. && .STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning from 4 PM Saturday to 10 PM PST Sunday for West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada-Western Plumas County/Lassen Park. && $$
