AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO CA
600 AM PST MON FEB 27 2006

CORRECTED WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES

.DISCUSSION...A DEEP UPPER LOW NEAR 40N 135W CONTINUES TO FEED
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO CALIFORNIA BRINGING WIDESPREAD MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAIN INTO THE CWA THIS MORNING. STRONG DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AND
FAVORABLE OROGRAPHICS HAVE BROUGHT IMPRESSIVE 24 HR RAINFALL TOTALS
TO MOUNTAIN AREAS. VENADO IN THE SONOMA COUNTY MOUNTAINS HAVE
RECEIVED ALMOST 4 INCHES AND BEN LOMOND RAWS IN THE SANTA CRUZ
MOUNTAINS HAVE RECEIVED OVER 2 INCHES...WITH A MAJORITY OF THE RAIN
FALLING IN THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE MAJORITY OF THE RAINFALL HAS BEEN
IN THE NORTH BAY AND SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS WITH WIDELY VARIED RAINFALL
AMOUNTS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CWA DUE TO STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT ALLOWING OROGRAPHICS PLAYING A STRONG ROLL. AS OF 12Z ONLY
A FEW HUNDREDTHS HAS FALLEN WHERE RAIN SHADOWING HAS BEEN STRONG AND
JUST OVER AN INCH HAS FALLEN WHERE TOPOGRAPHY HAS ENHANCED THE LIFT.
AT 1230Z KMUX RADAR IS SHOWING NUMEROUS STRONG CELLS MOVING INTO
MARIN AND SAN MATEO COUNTIES. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
PONDING ON ROADWAYS DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE AND WILL ISSUE AN
URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY SHORTLY.

THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE TOWARD THE CA/OR BORDER THROUGH TONIGHT WHILE
A SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO DEVELOP SOUTHWEST OF SAN FRANCISCO. MODELS
CONTINUE ON LOCATION AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW AS IT MOVES TOWARD
NORTHERN CA TODAY. THE 06Z GFS HAS A 995 MB LOW JUST WEST OF CAPE
MENDOCINO AT 00Z TUE WHILE THE 06Z NAM HAS A 998 MB LOW ABOUT 175 NM
WEST OF SAN FRANCISCO AT THIS TIME. THE 00Z EURO IS IN LINE WITH THE
GFS IN LOCATION BUT IS A LITTLE WEAKER AT 998 MB. THE GFS INITIALIZED
WELL WITH YESTERDAY DEVELOPING LOW OFF THE COAST AND FEEL IT IS
PERFORMING WELL LATELY. THE GFS SOLUTION WILL BRING THE STRONGEST
GRADIENTS ACROSS THE CWA WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS OCCURRING LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WHEN THE LOW IS CLOSEST TO THE REGION.
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING THE AND
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3.5 INCHES OF RAIN FALLING ACROSS THE DISTRICT
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TODAY
THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW WILL BE NEAR THE REGION HELPING TO
DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. ADDITIONALLY...AS A RESULT OF STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS AND RUNOFF FROM PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN...IN
COMBINATION WITH A HIGH ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDE TODAY...MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN IN SOUTH FACING OF THE SFO BAY AND COAST
AROUND HIGH TIDE TODAY. A HIGH TIDE OF 6.7 FT OCCURS AT 1034 AM THIS
MORNING AT THE GOLDEN GATE BUT CHECK LOCAL TIDE CHARTS FOR PREDICTED
TIDES AT OTHER LOCATIONS ALONG THE COAST AND BAY.

WINDS WILL SLACKEN OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTHEASTWARD
BUT SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING AS ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN CA. ONLY LIGHT RAINFALL
TOTALS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS SHORTWAVE AS THE FOCUS OF THE
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST...HOWEVER AN
UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE STATE AND THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES CONTINUE TUESDAY AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN COULD FALL IN AREAS
WHERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP.

THERE WILL BE A BRIEF BREAK TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY
BEFORE ANOTHER UPPER LOW DIVES SOUTHWARD OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA.
THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO LACK A SUBTROPICAL FEED AND CURRENT QPF
PREDICTIONS BRING LESS THAT 1.5 INCHES TO VENADO ON WEDNESDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL ALSO BE MUCH COLDER THAN ONES EARLIER IN THE WEEK WITH
SNOW POSSIBLE OVER THE BAY AREA HILLS. THE UPPER LOW REMAINS NEAR
THE CA/OR BORDER THROUGH FRIDAY AND SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
THROUGH FRIDAY AS VORT MAXES ROTATE AROUND THE UPPER LOW. THE
PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN WET OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK AS
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS BRING ANOTHER UPPER LOW SOUTHWARD OUT OF THE
GULF OF ALASKA.

&&

.AVIATION...HEAVIER RAINS NOW MOVING OVER THE SFO BAY AREA
TERMINALS AND STS EXPECTED TO LAST ALL DAY. SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL INCREASE DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KT AND
CONTINUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH EARLY EVENING. CEILINGS LOWERING TO
1500 FEET AND COULD GET EVEN LOWER DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS SOMETIME THIS EVENING. WILL HAVE A BETTER
IDEA OF THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE NEXT DISCUSSION.

&&

.MARINE...BUOYS HAVE BEEN REPORTING SUSTAINED WINDS 30-35 KT WITH
GUSTS UP TO 40-45 KT UP AND DOWN THE COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING.
WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE SLIGHTLY LATER THIS MORNING AS THE
DEVELOPING GALE CENTER CURRENTLY ABOUT 500 MILES WEST OF PT
CONCEPTION STRENGTHENS AND SLAMS INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AS THIS
SYSTEM MAKES LANDFALL...A POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL COME ALONG WITH
IT...AND STORM FORCE GUSTS UPWARDS OF 50-55 KT ARE A POSSIBILITY
JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BODEGA BAY WIND PROFILER ALREADY SHOWS
WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE...SO IT WOULD NOT
TAKE MUCH TO MIX THESE STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE.

VERY STEEP SOUTHWEST SEAS CONTINUE TO BATTER THE COAST AND COASTAL
WATERS...DRIVEN BY THE STRONG COASTAL WINDS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...
THIS IS ALL OCCURRING AS WE EXPERIENCE THE PEAK ASTRONOMICAL TIDES
OF THE MONTH...INCREASING THE RISK OF MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. TIDAL
GAGES ARE ALREADY SHOWING WATER LEVELS SEVERAL INCHES ABOVE
ASTRONOMICALLY PREDICTED LEVELS...THIS WILL ONLY INCREASE AS RUNOFF
INCREASES AND SURFACE PRESSURE DECREASES.

LATEST BUOY REPORTS INDICATE SEAS ARE GENERALLY IN THE 13-16 FT
RANGE WITH PERIODS OF 8-10 SEC. SEAS OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEREFORE THE
HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE COAST.

THE NEW EXPERIMENTAL SAN FRANCISCO BAR FORECAST IS NOW ON THE WFO
MONTEREY WEB SITE. IT IS INCLUDED IN THE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST FOR
THE POINT ARENA TO PIGEON POINT INNER WATERS ZONE (PZZ550).
