Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 130 PM PDT Mon Mar 16 2026 ...DRY CONDITIONS AND WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON PM - SUN AM)... Forecast remains on track with no updates in the afternoon package. Updated the freezing levels with the latest GFS/ECMWF runs, otherwise no precip for the next six days as a strong upper ridge gradually drifts overhead from the eastern Pacific. This will result in well above normal temperatures with anomalies of +15 to +30 deg F throughout the work week. Troughing to the north may flatten the ridge some over the weekend, but still expect temperatures of 10 to 20 deg F above normal. |
