KEY MESSAGES

- Well-above normal temperatures expected through next week with mainly Minor HeatRisk

..Saturday-Wednesday

The upper level pattern will feature the ridge flattening slightly over the weekend as a trough drops down to the east. This will allow for some increased northerly flow behind it with gusts of 15 to 20 mph at times from Saturday into Sunday. The ridge will then build back in and strengthen. This will allow for the continued rise in temperatures into next week. There is an impressive EFI (Extreme Forecast Index) signal for above normal temperatures especially next week. Forecast highs are currently in the 60s-80s across the area Saturday, rising to the 70s to potentially around the low 90s next week. Widespread Minor HeatRisk is forecast for interior NorCal with some isolated Moderate HeatRisk in the Delta and Valley. Area waterways are still running cold from snowmelt. Be sure to plan ahead for the warmer weather and take the necessary precautions near waterways.

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period, with winds around 5-10kts going light and variable this evening and overnight. Slight chance of lowered visibility from haze/mist over the eastern Sacramento Valley from 12z to 17z Friday.
