Area forecast discussion, May 20, 5:03 AM PDT, 3 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA CA
503 AM PDT TUE MAY 20 2008

UPDATED AVIATION

...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY ALONG THE COAST
AND IN THE HILLS...
...BIG TEMPERATURE CHANGE FROM THE PAST WEEKEND TO THE COMING
WEEKEND AS INLAND MAX TEMPERATURES LOWER 25 DEGREES F...

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 3:50 AM PDT TUESDAY...MARINE AIR PRESSED A
LITTLE FARTHER INLAND MONDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY LOWER
TEMPERATURES ALONG THE COAST EVEN WHILE DEEPER INLAND AREAS HAD
CONTINUED MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE UP SLIGHTLY REFLECTING THE INCREASED COASTAL
MOISTURE. IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SHORT-WAVE TROF THE MARINE
LAYER IS LIFTING AND ABOUT 600 FEET DEEPER THAN LAST NIGHT AT 1600
FEET MSL. CENTRAL COAST AND S.F.BAY FORECAST AREA OBSERVATIONS ALSO
REFLECTING THE LIFTED STRATUS DECK WITH HIGHER RH VALUES AND
SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES IN THE MOISTURE.

FLOW ALOFT VEERING WITH TIME IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SHORT-
WAVE TROF AND 24-HOUR H5 HEIGHTS/THICKNESS TO DROP 110/130M
RESPECTIVELY BY THIS AFTERNOON. S/WV TO PASS AREA DURING THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS. H8 WINDS DEPICTING 20-30KT OVER FORECAST AREA BY
AFTERNOON AND THEN 30-40KT THIS EVENING. BY LATE THIS EVENING WINDS
GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH ARE LIKELY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. A WIND
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NORTH AND EAST BAY HILLS BEGINNING
AT 5 PM TODAY. POST-TROF WINDS CONTINUING TO VEER BUT MAINTAINING
SPEED THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HAVE EXTENDED WIND ADVISORY ISSUED FOR THIS
EVENING FOR NORTH BAY MOUNTAINS AND EAST BAY HILLS NOW UNTIL
WEDNESDAY EVENING TO REFLECT THIS WINDY EPISODE EVEN THOUGH SPEEDS
MAY DIMINISH SLIGHTLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. IT SHOULD BE STRESSED
THAT WINDS WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY AT TIMES IN THE HILLS AND ALONG
THE COAST FROM LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A WIND ADVISORY WILL
NEED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR COASTAL ZONES FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WITH THE S/WV THE H8 TEMPS DROPPING 8C WITHIN 24 HRS AND
CONTINUED COOLING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS THE FLOW ALOFT
TURNS MERIDIONAL.

A SECOND WIND MAXIMUM IS FORECAST TO OCCUR...MAINLY IN THE HILLS...
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTH THROUGH WESTERN
NEVADA. WIND ADVISORIES MAY NEED TO BE REISSUED IN THE HILLS FOR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. DURING THIS TIME FRAME...
HUMIDITY VALUES MAY DROP SOME DUE TO A DRIER AIRMASS COMING IN FROM
THE NORTH AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS MAY DEVELOP...SEE FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSION BELOW. YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST TO SLIDE INTO
EASTERN CALIF ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND TRIGGER A THIRD ROUND OF WINDS.
AGAIN...IT LOOKS LIKE THE HILLS OF THE NORTH AND EAST BAY EXPERIENCE
THE BRUNT OF THE HIGH WINDS.

MODEL SOLUTIONS FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WORK WEEK SHOW SOME
CONSISTENCY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED LOW OVER THE CA/NV
AREA. HOWEVER THE MODEL DIFFERENCES VARY THE LOCATION OF THE LOW
CENTER AND ITS COLD AIR POOL FROM SOUTHERN NV TO SOUTHERN CA.
AND SOLUTIONS FOR LOW PLACEMENT ALSO VARYING FROM RUN-TO-RUN WITHIN
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS. HAVE TAKEN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SOLUTION AND
INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE NORTH BAY
MOUNTAINS...EAST BAY HILLS...AND SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE DIABLO RANGE
THROUGH SAN BENITO AND MONTEREY COUNTIES. THE COLDEST AIR ALOFT WITH
H5 TEMPS AT -20C LIKELY TO BE JUST EAST OF CENTRAL COAST BY FRIDAY
EVENING. WITH THE WINDS LIGHT...THE BROAD LOW AND COLD POOL ALOFT...
AND SUN ON THE ELEVATED TERRAIN EXPECT POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION THOSE AREAS. AGAIN...CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH
GIVEN MODEL DISCREPANCIES AND INCONSISTENCIES BUT WEEKEND PATTERN
CERTAINLY ONE THAT COULD FAVOR CONVECTION OVER HIGHER TERRAIN...
ESPECIALLY IF THE LOW RETROGRADES CLOSER TO CALIF COAST PER THE GFS.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 5:00 AM TUESDAY...WATER VAPOUR IMAGE INDICATING
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE WESTERN CONUS. HIGH CLOUDS
ARE SCATTERING OUT PROVIDING A GLIMPSE OF THE CURRENT STRATUS
SITUATION. IT APPEARS THAT STRATUS IS PILING UP AGAINST THE COAST
LINE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING BOUNDARY AND IS ADVECTING INTO THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY. OBSERVATIONS AT SFO AND OAK OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS HAVE SHOWN SOME LIFTING OF THE STRATUS SO FEEL THAT CIGS WILL
GRADUALLY RISE THIS MORNING BEFORE SCATTERING OUT DUE TO TURBULENT
MIXING AROUND 1700 UTC. ADDITIONALLY...IT APPEARS THAT THE
TRAILING EDGE OF THE STRATUS IS APPROX 40 NM OFFSHORE AND ADVANCING
TOWARDS THE CALIFORNIA COAST WITH PLENTY OF COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND IT. THIS COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL DRIVE WEST WINDS TO 20 KT
GUSTING TO 30 KNOTS BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

.MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...FOG PRODUCT INDICATING STRATUS
PUSHING INTO THE MONTEREY BAY AND ADVECTING INTO THE SALINAS
VALLEY. FORT ORD PROFILER SHOWING A MUCH DEEPER MARINE LAYER THAN
LAST EVENING. MRY AND SNS OBS ARE INDICATING CIGS OF 200-300FT...
THE COMBINATION OF A DEEP MARINE LAYER AND LOW BASE TRANSLATES INTO
STRATUS STICKING AROUND A LITTLE LONGER THIS MORNING. WITH
APPROACHING BOUNDARY WILL SEE LIFTING OF BASES BEFORE TURBULENT
MIXING SCATTERS OUT CIGS BY 1800 UTC. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL AFTER-WARDS. WINDS WILL NOT BE AS ROBUST AS IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA BUT WILL STILL BE BREEZY AND OUT OF THE WEST
NORTHWEST FOR MOST OF THE DAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...AS OF 3:00 AM PDT AND NO CHANGE...ALTHOUGH PERIODS OF
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ARE FORECAST FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH
THURSDAY...MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES SHOULD HELP TO KEEP RH VALUES
ABOVE RED FLAG CRITERIA. HOWEVER...THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP ON WEDNESDAY AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
NORTHERLY AND DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF OUR
DISTRICT (I.E. HILLS OF NAPA COUNTY AS WELL AS THE HILLS OF EASTERN
ALAMEDA COUNTY AND EASTERN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY). THE TIME PERIOD OF
GREATEST CONCERN IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN NORTHERLY WIND SPEEDS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND WHEN RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES IN THE
AREAS MENTIONED ABOVE LOOK TO BE QUITE POOR.
