KEY MESSAGES
- Periods of clouds, mist, or fog continue in the Central Valley for the next few mornings mainly from the Sacramento area southward to northern San Juaquin valley.
- Normal tempareatures for the next 7 days with highs in the valley in the upper 50s to mid 60s north and lows in the 40s.
- Weak system brushes by the area this weekend, bringing a slight chance for showers across Shasta County. Dry weather continues elsewhere for the foreseeable future.
..Tonight
The inside slider system which brought dry northerly flow to the area will move off to the south and east. As it does northerly flow will decreast for less winds tonight but overnight humidity recoveries will be low in the 30 to 40 percent range in the foothills and mountains. In the valley...with less winds inversions should set up again for some fog from Sacramento southward. Probably not widespread or dense enough for a fog advisory.
A stronger system will move into the PacNW on Saturday which will bring a slight chance of a few showers to Shasta county with little to no impact...otherwise the weather will be dry.
Sunday through next Wednesday including the extended period the upper pattern changes very little as riding over CA or to the west remains inplace. This will result in continued dry weather with occasionally morning fog in the valley. Fog and low clouds should be able to burn off by mid morning most days so high temperatures will actually be pretty close to normal for this time of the year in the 50s to around 60 with lows in the 40s.
Alomst all ensembles are in agreement in this dry pattern. Some AI models have been hinting at to return to westerly flow by mid December but that is a ways out there and will see how that pans out. WR
AVIATION
Decreasing north to east winds with gusts up to 20-30 kts becoming light in the Valley by 09z Thursday and lingering mountain gusts of 10-20 kts into 12z Thursday as light north to east winds continue into 18z Thursday. Weaker northerly flow compared to this morning (Wednesday) brings the chances for another round of patchy BR/FG across the central Valley with best chances across the Southern Sacramento Valley southward around 50-75% from 12z-18z Thursday.
