AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
330 AM PST SUN FEB 26 2006

.DISCUSSION...
BIG PATTERN CHANGE EVOLVING...JUST SEEMS TO BE DELAYED FOR INTERIOR
NORCAL BY ABOUT 6 HRS OR SO. AMSU TPW PLUME THAT EXTENDED FROM THE
SUBTROPICS TO W OF 130W HAS BEEN SHIFTING EWD TO ABOUT 125W BY 07Z
SUN. WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL TAP A SOLID BAND OF TPW FROM 1.40 TO
1.50 INCHES N OF 30N AND W OF CA COAST TODAY...AND PCPN EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER INTERIOR NORCAL THIS AFTN. MAIN UPPER LOW VCNTY
45N/140W WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SWD TODAY AND CONTINUE TO CARVE OUT
VERY DEEP TROF. COLD CUMULUS NOW EXTEND AS FAR S AS 30N. THIS
DIGGING TROF HAS SHIFTED A LARGE AREA OF COLD CLOUD TOPS NWD MAINLY
ALONG AND W OF 130W WHICH WILL MISS NORCAL. HOWEVER...BEGINNING OF
ENHANCEMENT ALONG 140W SHOWS UPPER JET HAS ROUNDED BASE OF TROF AND
AS IT LIFTS NEWD TOWARDS THE COAST TODAY...SHORT WAVE NEAR 30N/130W
WILL LIFT NEWD BRINGING MOISTURE INTO NORCAL THIS AFTN. A WEAKER
WAVE IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BRING HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE INTO OUR SRN
ZONES AT LEAST THROUGH THE MORNING AS IT PASSES S OF OUR AREA.
INITIAL PCPN EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT TODAY AS AIR MASS VERY DRY IN LOW
LEVELS AND MAY RESULT IN SOME WET BULB COOLING AND LOWER THAN
EXPECTED SNOW LEVELS AT THE ONSET. BUT AS THE AIR MASS CONTINUES TO
MOISTEN AND STRONG WAA CONTINUES...SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE. PCPN
EXPECTED TO BECOME HEAVIER TONIGHT AND INTO MON AS 150 KT JET MOVES
INLAND THIS EVENING...AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE INCREASES
LARGE SCALE ASCENT OVER NORCAL.

BAND OF 50-70 KT SW 700 MBS WINDS EXPECTED TO INCREASE OROGRAPHIC
PCPN...ESP IN THE SHASTA AND FEATHER BASINS TONITE AND INTO MON
MORNING. GFS HAS ALSO BEEN CONSISTENT IN FORECASTING A BAND OF SLY
850 MBS OF 60 KTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL VLY WHICH IS PRIME FOR HEAVY
PCPN OVER SHASTA CO. INITIAL SFC LOW FORECAST TO DEEPEN ALONG 130W
AND TRACK TOWARDS VCRISL. THIS WILL INCREASE SLY PRESSURE
GRADIENTS...AND GIVEN UPPER AIR SUPPORT WIND ADVSRY SITUATION LIKELY
TO DEVELOP. OUR FIRST ACTION IS TO ISSUE WIND ADVSRY FOR THE COASTAL
AND SHASTA CO MTNS AND A WINTER WX ADVSRY FOR THE SIERNEV DUE TO
STRONG WINDS AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW. GIVEN STRENGTH OF WAA...WE
EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO BE HIGH...GENERALLY NEAR THE PASSES ON
I-80/US-50...WITH HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE 8000 FEET FOR THIS
INITIAL WAVE. WIND ADVSRY FOR THE VLY LOOKS MORE PROBLEMATIC...BUT
FEELING IS THAT AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE VLY MAY BE ADDED LATER.
ETA BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MOMENTUM TRANSFER FROM 4000 TO 6000
FEET OVER N END OF VLY /RDD AND RBL/ WHICH WOULD MIX DOWN THE 850 MB
JET AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE OF HRS THIS AFTN. REMAINDER OF THE
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE WAA WILL CAUSE VERY ISOTHERMAL SOUNDINGS
LIMITING MOMENTUM TRANSFER.

A 2ND WAVE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE OFFSHORE FRONT ON MON
AND TRACK RIGHT OVER THE N COAST AND INTO ORE MON NITE. THIS WILL
BRING MORE HEAVY RAIN TO THE AREA WITH WAA KEEPING SNOW LEVELS HIGH
THROUGH THE EVENING. THE DEEPER SFC LOW AND STRONG FRONT MOVING
ACROSS NORCAL WILL ALSO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGH WINDS TO THE
REGION. SNOW LEVELS FORECAST TO CRASH WELL BELOW PASS LEVELS IN WAKE
OF THE FRONT BY TUE MORNING...AND WE WILL LIKELY BE ISSUING
WATCH/WARNINGS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD IF THIS TIMING HOLDS.

GFS/NAM OPEN UP THE UPPER LOW AND MOVE ACROSS NORCAL S OF OUR CWA
TUE NITE. ANOTHER ROUND OF AT LEAST MODERATE PCPN IS EXPECTED OVER
THE SRN SIERNEV WITH THIS FEATURE. THIS UPPER LOW IS SHUNTED SWD BY
ANOTHER GOA LOW THAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY MODELED TO DROP SWD ALONG
THE PAC NW COAST AND BRING A 3RD ROUND OF PCPN TO NORCAL LATE WED
AND INTO THU. THIS LOW WILL BE MUCH COLDER WITH SNOW LEVELS POSSIBLY
LOWERING TO LESS THAN 1000 FEET...POSSIBLY TO THE VALLEY FLOOR. THIS
LOW IS FORECAST TO TAP A TPW PLUME BETWEEN .70 TO .80 TENTHS OF AN
INCH...MUCH WETTER THAN LAST WEEKENDS STORM. 700 MBS BETWEEN -12 TO
-14 DEG C WILL INCREASE DENDRITIC GROWTH OF ICE CRYSTALS AND RESULT
IN PILES OF FINE POWDER FOR THE SIERRA. SHORT WAVE RIDGING SHOULD
PROVIDE A BREAK IN THE WX NEXT WEEKEND...ALTHO ECMWF SHOWS LESS
RIDGING THAN PREVIOUS RUN.      JHM
