NEXT ROUND OF PCPN COMING THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MON. UPPER LOW/VORT
JUST N OF 40N/AT 130W ROTATING NEWD WITH BULK OF THE ENERGY GOING
INTO THE PAC NW. 08Z AMSU DATA SHOWED NARROW TPW PLUME HAS BEEN
RE-ENERGIZED ALONG 130W AS IT TAPS INTO YESTERDAYS MUCH WETTER
PLUME WHICH HAS BEEN SHUNTED SWD. 310K GFS ISENTROPIC CHART
INDICATES BEST WAA PCPN ALONG N COAST THIS MORNING WITH WAA QUICKLY
MOVING ACROSS NORCAL...N OF I-80 THIS MORNING AND WEAKENING. BELIEVE
THE INITIAL WAA WILL BE MUCH WEAKER THAN EARLIER INDICATED AND WILL
BACK OFF WINTER STORM WARNING TIL NOON PST. THIS IS WHEN THE COLD
FRONT SHOULD MOVE INTO OUR COASTAL RANGE MTNS. LIGHTNING DATA
PICKING UP A FEW STRIKES ALONG THE COLD FRONT JUST INSIDE 130W NOW.
PCPN SHOULD INCREASE AND BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND MORE CONVECTIVE
IN NATURE AS PIECE OF ENERGY FROM THE FROM THE COLD AIR BETWEEN 140W
AND 155W MOVES INLAND AND INTERACTS WITH COLD FRONT OVER COASTAL
RANGE. MODELS DIFFER SLIGHTLY WITH GFS FAVORED AS STRONGER VORT NEAR
35N/155W DIGS SEWD. THIS WILL SLIGHTLY AMPLIFY THE 180 KT JET WITH
YESTERDAYS TPW PLUME LIFTING SLIGHTLY NWD AS WELL. THIS SHOULD SPELL
HEAVY PCPN AGAIN FOR NORCAL AS INDIRECT CIRCULATION OF THE WLY JET
ENHANCES UVM OVER NORCAL BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON. AGAIN THERE IS A
BAND OF SWLY 55-60 KTS WINDS AT 700 MBS WHICH ARE FORECAST TO
ENHANCE OROGRAPHICS AND CREATE WINDY CONDITIONS OVER MTNS THIS
AFTN...WITH SPEEDS DROPPING OFF OVERNIGHT. STRENGTH OF WINDS A
QUESTION IN THE VLY AS UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW MOVE INTO
PAC NW...WELL NW OF NORCAL. THIS WILL MEAN A WEAKER GRADIENT THAN IF
THE SFC LOW WAS TRACKING FURTHER S. WILL KEEP WINDS IN THE VLY JUST
BELOW ADVSRY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.

OROGRAPHIC AIDS SHOW QPFS RANGING FROM 1.0 TO 1.5 INCHES OVER SHASTA
AND FEATHER BASIN TODAY WITH THE ETA CRANKING OUT ANOTHER 1.2 TO 1.8
INCHES OVERNIGHT...THE GFS/AVN ABOUT ONE-HALF AS MUCH. THIS IS DUE
TO THE GFS SHUNTING THE TPW PLUME FARTHER S WITH THE DIGGING TROF.
THIS IS AT LEAST A QUARTER TO A HALF THAT OF THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM.
WILL PROBABLY HOLD OFF ON ISSUING FLW FOR SMALL RIVERS/STREAMS AS
HEAVIER PCPN EXPECTED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL LATER AFTN AND TONIGHT. WAA
VERY STRONG DURING THE AFTN WHICH WILL BOOST SNOW LEVELS THIS AFTN
TO AROUND 6000 FEET. WAA WEAKENS OVERNIGHT WITH CAA OCCURRING BY
EARLY MON.

THE STRONGER VORT NEAR 35N/155W WILL CARVE OUT A DEEPER/COLDER TROF
OVER NORCAL ON MON. STRONG CYCLONICALLY CURVED JET FORECAST TO LIFT
NEWD ACROSS THE S AND ERN HALF OF OUR CWA ON MON. STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE AND AXIS OF NEGATIVE LIS POINT TO AREA FROM SAC SWD INTO
THE SAN JOAQUIN VLY AS STRONG POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER MON AFTN. MAYBE
EVEN SOME STRONG CONVECTION TONIGHT GIVEN THE FORECAST UPPER
DIVERGENCE S OF HIGHWAY 50.

FLAT RIDGING OVER NORCAL ON TUE AS DEEP TROF MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN WILL WARRANT A MENTION OF SMALL POPS OVER OUR FAR NRN ZONES.
AFTER THAT MAINLY DRY WX...UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND.     JHM
