warm and windy for the middle of this week
From the National Weather Service office in Sacramento:
WARM AND WINDY CONDITIONS LIKELY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...
A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION ON
TUESDAY AS A RESULT OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT PASSES THE AREA
TO THE NORTH AND DEEPENS OVER THE ROCKIES. THIS WILL RESULT IN
WINDY CONDITIONS FOR THE INTERIOR.
IMPACTS:
* GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS COULD CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES
FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
* LOCAL DOWNED LIMBS/TREES AND LOCAL POWER OUTAGES TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY ARE POSSIBLE.
* BLOWING DEBRIS AND LOCAL LOCATIONS WITH BLOWING DUST
POSSIBLE...SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS.
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL FIRST DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL VALLEY ON
TUESDAY. NORTHERLY WINDS 15 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40
MPH ARE LIKELY.
AS HIGHER PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE GREAT BASIN TUESDAY EVENING
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE SIERRA NEVADA RANGE AND
COASTAL MOUNTAINS OF LAKE COUNTY. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE
THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS WITH A NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
ORIENTATION WITH THE STRONGER WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 40 TO 60 MPH. THE
WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE DECREASING
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
LIGHTER NORTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE LATER IN THE WEEK
AS A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST
COAST. VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH TEMPERATURES
POSSIBLY CLIMBING WELL INTO THE 90S.
