Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 1225 PM PDT Fri Mar 27 2026 ...WARM AND DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND... ...TURNING COOLER WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRECIP MON THROUGH THU... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (FRI PM - THU AM)... High confidence with dry and warm conditions continuing through the weekend under the influence of an upr ridge centered over west Texas. Afternoon temperature anomalies through Sunday are expected to run primarily between plus 15- and plus 25-degF over seasonal normals. A pattern shift is expected on Monday with a series of disturbances moving across the west coast bringing an opportunity of precip through Thursday with cooler temperatures closer to or just below average. However...confidence is low to moderate as models continue to weaken the systems with each successive run...resulting in lowered precip amounts. That is the story for the afternoon forecast issuance...down anywhere from 0.10- to 0.33-inch across northern and central CA (locally down 0.50-inch over the northern Sierra). |
