AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA CA
445 AM PDT THU OCT 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 4:00 AM PDT THURSDAY...SOME STRATUS HAS FORMED
ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY AFFECTING MONTEREY BAY. TEMPERATURES
ACROSS THE DISTRICT ARE MAINLY IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 60S. THE
NORTHERLY GRADIENT HAS REALLY RAMPED UP...NOW 8.6 MB BETWEEN ARCATA-
SFO. THE ONSHORE GRADIENT IS AT 2.0 MB.

THE BIG WEATHER STORY FOR THE DISTRICT WILL BE THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS
ACROSS THE DISTRICT. A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL DIVE INTO SOUTHERN
NEVADA TODAY THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...REMAINING NEARLY
STATIONARY INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE VERY STRONG. A WIND ADVISORY HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
COAST NORTH OF THE GOLDEN GATE. BASED ON SFC OBS...AND LOOKING AT THE
MODELS IT LOOKS LIKE A MARGINAL EVENT. THE BODEGA BAY MARINE LAB HAS
HAD GUSTS NEAR 40 MPH TONIGHT...SO HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THE ADVISORY
GOING THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE FOCUS THEN TURNS TO THE NORTH AND
EAST BAY HILLS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS WINDS INCREASE OVER THE
HILLS. AS A RESULT...A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NORTH
AND EAST BAY HILLS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS COULD
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL JET OF 120 KT
LINKS UP WELL WITH THE LOWER LEVELS WITH THE STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE. 850 MB TEMPS WILL COOL TO 2-5C
ACROSS THE DISTRICT TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BRING
OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS INTO THE 30S IN WIND PROTECTED VALLEYS OF THE
NORTH BAY AS WELL AS INTERIOR MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES. THE
COLDEST NIGHT LOOKS TO BE SATURDAY NIGHT...LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY
OF PATCHY FROST IN THE NORTH BAY INTERIOR VALLEYS. HOWEVER...THIS
WILL BE STRONGLY DEPENDENT ON THE WINDS.

ON SUNDAY THE UPPER LOW LIFTS NE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AS A RIDGE
BUILDS INTO THE PACIFIC NW AND CALIFORNIA. THE RIDGE WILL FLATTEN
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NW.
THIS WILL BRING WARMER TEMPS AND LIGHTER WINDS...BUT CONTINUED DRY
CONDITIONS. WITH THE FLOW BECOMING MORE ONSHORE...NIGHT AND MORNING
LOW CLOUDS WILL RETURN TO THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 4:45 AM PDT THURSDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND CENTRAL COAST THIS
MORNING...THE EXCEPTI0N IS THE MONTEREY BAY AREA WITH IFR CIGS IN
STRATUS OVER THE BAY AND EXPECTED TO INTRUDE INLAND JUST TO THE
KMRY AND KSNS TERMINALS AROUND DAWN. WITH STRONG N-S SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS NORTHWEST-TO-NORTH WINDS WILL BE GUSTY BY 18Z
OVER THE AREA. MECHANICAL TURBULENCE CAN BE EXPECTED AT LOWER
LEVELS OVER THE AREA ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL WIND SHEAR +/- 15-20 KT
DUE TO WIND SHADOWING AND CHANNELING AROUND AREA AIRPORTS.

WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THE NORTHERLY
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED 15 TO 25 KT RANGE WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KT THIS
AFTERNOON. KSFO WILL MAINTAIN SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KT WITH
GUSTS TO 30 KT AFT 19Z.

&&

.MARINE...AS OF 4:45 AM PDT THURSDAY...LATEST BUOY REPORTS SHOW
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 KT WITH GUSTS TO 40 KT ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS. GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT ACROSS ALL THE COASTAL WATERS.
THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN OVER THE REGION
WHICH WILL EXTEND THE GALE WARNINGS INTO FRIDAY MORNING. STRONG WINDS
ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. SHORT PERIOD
SEAS IN THE 13 TO 15 FT RANGE ARE ALSO BEING REPORTED AND ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY.

A MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS THE WIND AND SEAS POTENTIAL
THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...AS OF 4:30 AM PDT THURSDAY...THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION FROM
6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY. SEE THE SFORFWMTR FOR MORE
DETAILS.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MODELS INDICATE STRONG SINKING MOTION AT
700 MB WITH A VERY DRY AIRMASS. THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WINDS
INCREASE AT ALL LEVELS WITH STRONG NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS
CONTINUING...MOST NOTABLY IN THE HILLS AND ALONG THE COAST. HOWEVER
UNLIKE TYPICAL OFFSHORE WIND EVENTS THE STRUCTURE WILL BE FAVORABLE
FOR MIXING DOWN AIR FROM ALOFT. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY
WITH MODERATE RH BUT VERY WINDY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. THEN WINDS WILL
LIKELY GET STRONGER ON FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES
THROUGH. AT THE SAME TIME AN UPPER LEVEL 100 KNOT JET PASSES RIGHT
DOWN THE COAST WITH NORTHERLY WIND FLOW ALIGNED FROM THE SURFACE
RIGHT THROUGH THE DEPTH OF THE ATMOSPHERE. SO EVEN THOUGH COOL WITH
MODERATE RH THE STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE TRUMP CARD. WINDS ARE
NORTHEAST BY SATURDAY MORNING BUT THEN EASING THROUGH THE DAY. THE
FORECAST FOR SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK CALLS FOR WARMING
AND DRYING TREND AS STRONG WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

&&

.PAST COMPARISON...AS OF 3:00 PM PDT WEDNESDAY...THE UPCOMING STORM
IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO TWO PAST EVENTS IN OUR CWA. THE FIRST ONE IS
FROM APRIL 3, 1999. IN THAT STORM GUSTS NEAR OR OVER 45 MPH WHERE
REPORTED AT KSFO... KSTS... KMRY... KSNS... KSJC... AND KSQL. IN
ADDITION...BUOY DATA SHOWS THAT SEAS ROSE TO BETWEEN 16 AND 22 FEET
WHILE GUSTS CLOSE TO 50 KT WERE REPORTED OVER THE WATERS. BASED ON
ANALYSIS...THE UPCOMING EVENT AT THIS TIMES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS
STRONG AS THE STORM FROM 1999 MOSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT GRADIENTS
ARE FORECAST TO BE A BIT WEAKER.

ANOTHER STORM WHICH HAD A SIMILAR STRUCTURE WAS FROM NOVEMBER 29,
1991. THE TROUGH AXIS IN THAT CASE WAS FURTHER TO THE EAST WHICH
ENDED UP PRODUCING STRONGER WINDS TO THE EAST OF OUR CWA. IN THAT
CASE ALL OF THE AIRPORTS IN OUR AREA GUSTED TO OVER 30 MPH WITH
ONLY KAPC HITTING 40 MPH.
