AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
930 AM PST THU DEC 29 2005

.DISCUSSION...
VERY BRIEF BREAK IN THE WET WEATHER PATTERN OVER OUR AREA THIS
MORNING. UNFORTUNATELY...CLEAR SKIES THIS TIME OF YEAR OFTEN LEAD TO
DENSE FOG AND THAT IS THE CASE THIS MORNING. STILL DEALING WITH A
NARROW STRIP OF DENSE FOG FROM THE SACRAMENTO AREA THROUGH AREAS
JUST EAST OF STOCKTON AND MODESTO.

BIG CONCERN OBVIOUSLY FOCUSES ON OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM WITH LEADING
EDGE OF ALREADY IMPRESSIVE LOOKING PLUME WORKING IT/S WAY INTO OUR
AREA. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW REMARKABLE AGREEMENT CONSIDERING THE
ACTIVE PATTERN WE/RE IN. TO KEEP THIS DISCUSSION SHORT...WILL JUST
SAY THAT IT/S TOUGH TO FIND ANY LIMITING FACTORS FOR THIS NEXT
SYSTEM WITH INCREDIBLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...A SEEMINGLY UNLIMITED
MOISTURE SUPPLY...AND A LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD THAT WILL NOT ONLY
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT WINDS OVER MOST OF OUR AREA...BUT WILL ALSO
ENHANCE THE OROGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE STORM TOTALS.

BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED FACTORS...COMBINED WITH THE FACT THAT
MANY OF OUR AREAS HAVE SATURATED OR NEARLY SATURATED SOILS...AND
THAT THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN TRYING TO STALL THE BOUNDARY OVER
OUR AREA BY SATURDAY AS IT BECOMES MORE ALIGNED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
FLOW...WILL GO WITH A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WHICH
SHOULD BE OUT BEFORE 10 AM THIS MORNING.

WILL LIKELY ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH AT SOME POINT LATER THIS MORNING
FOR MOST OF OUR AREA BASED ON THE PROJECTED SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENTS AND LOW LEVEL WIND SUPPORT. BASED ON PROGGED 16 MB SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM KSAC TO KMFR AND 850 MB WINDS AROUND 50
KTS...COULD SEE A PERIOD OF GUSTS TO 60 MPH OVER PARTS OF THE
VALLEY/FOOTHILLS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTS OVER 80 MPH WOULD BE
POSSIBLE ON THE HIGHER PEAKS AND RIDGES IF THIS PATTERN EVOLVES AS
MODELED.
