AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA CA
954 AM PST FRI FEB 22 2008

...POWERFUL STORM STILL ON TRACK FOR WEEKEND...

.DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA INDICATE NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AROUND IN MOIST WESTERLY ONSHORE FLOW. ONE LIGHTNING
STRIKE SEEN JUST OF MONTEREY IN PAST 30 MIN. SOME OF THE SHOWERS IN
SOUTHERN NAPA AND NORTHERN EAST BAY ARE LOCALLY HEAVY ALTHOUGH SOME
BRIGHT BANDING MAY BE OCCURRING AS MELT LEVELS MAY BE NEAR 3800 FT.
EXPECT THESE SHOWERS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY AS VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS MORE SHOWERS OUT SOME 120 NMI WEST OF SAN
FRANCISCO. THESE SHOWERS ARE NEAR THE 700 MB TROUGH AXIS WHICH IS
FORECAST BY LATEST 12Z GFS TO PASS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AROUND 4
PM THIS AFTERNOON.  SHOULD SEE SHOWERS DIMINISH RAPIDLY TONIGHT AS
SHORTWAVE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF THE MAJOR STORM
SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE AREA TOMORROW THROUGH SUNDAY. WILL TWEAK ZONES A
LITTLE AFTER 9 AM TO ADJUST WORDING FOR SHOWERS.

THE MAJOR STORM IS NOW TAKING SHAPE NEAR 34/150 WITH NICE DARKENING
IN WV IMAGERY AND VERY NICE BAROCLINIC LEAF AHEAD OF THIS.  MODELS
INDICATE THIS SYSTEM WILL BOMB OUT NEAR 37/136 BY 12Z SAT. SOME
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 00Z EURO AND 12Z GFS WITH EURO SHOWING MIN
CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 967 MB WHILE 12Z GFS SHOWS 980 MB.  THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AND MAY BE ASSOC WITH MODEL SPECTRAL
RESOLUTION.  THE STORM THAN MOVES ALMOST DUE EAST TOWARD THE NOR CAL
COAST AND BY SUN 12Z IS JUST OFF THE MENDICINO COAST. ALTHOUGH THIS
LOOKS LIKE A VERY POWERFUL STORM THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS STORM AND THE JAN 4-5 EVENT. THAT STORM WAS
IN THE DEEPENING STAGE AS IT APPROACHED THE COAST WHILE THIS STORM IS
FILLING. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THE LARGE SCALE VERTICAL MOTIONS AND
FRONTAL LIFT WILL BE WEAKER. SO WILL NOT SEE THE 5 TO 8 TO 10 IN
RAINS WE SAW IN THE JAN EVENT. ALSO LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE
MORE OFFSHORE AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS DESCRIBED IN THE PARAGRAPH
BELOW. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL BE MORE IN THE 2 TO 3 IN RANGE IN THE
NORTH BAY OROGRAPHICALLY FAVORED REGIONS...THE SANTA CRUZ MTNS AND
THE SANTA LUCIAS. 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE LIKELY IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BY
LATE SUN. THUS DO NOT EXPECT ANY MAINSTEM RIVER PROBLEMS BUT LOCAL
STREAMS AND CREEKS COULD SEE RAPID RISES LATE SAT AND SAT NIGHT JUST
AHEAD OF AND WITH THE COLD FRONT.

WINDS WILL BE THE BIGGEST FACTOR FOR THIS EVENT. WILL LOOK CLOSELY AT
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE BUT AM LEANING TOWARD ISSUING A HIGH WIND
WARNING WITH THIS AFTERNOONS PACKAGE FOR MOST OF THE CWA EXCEPT MAYBE
THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY...THE SOUTHERN SALINAS VALLEY AND THE GABILAN
RANGE FOR LATE SAT MORNING INTO EARLY SUN. WINDS WILL PICK UP SHARPLY
DURING THE MORNING HOURS SAT ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE THE NORTHERN
SALINAS VALLEY WHICH IS A FAVORED LOCATION FOR STRONG AND GUSTY SE
WINDS. SINCE THE LOW WILL BE MOVING EAST AT ABOUT OUR LATITUDE THERE
WILL BE STRONG CROSS ISOBARIC FLOW OFFSHORE FROM THE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. THUS COASTAL GAPS AND CANYONS AND
VALLEY LOCATIONS ORIENTED SE TO NW MAY SEE WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH
GUSTS TO 45 MPH EARLIER IN THE DAY. WINDS WILL PEAK SAT EVENING WITH
AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTH BAY AND
SF BAY AREAS SEEING GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND UPPER ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1000
FT OVER 70 MPH. WET SOILS AND HIGH WINDS WILL LEAD TO DOWNED TREES
AND POWERLINES ESPECIALLY IN THE SANTA CRUZ MTNS AND MOST COASTAL
AREAS. EXPECT HIGH/DAMAGING WINDS TO BE OVER BY MIDNIGHT SAT BUT
WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG AND GUSTY AS THE LOW SLOWLY FILLS OVER NOR
CAL DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF SUN.  SO SUN WILL SEE NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND WILL LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THREAT OF ANY THUNDER FOR
AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

EXTENDED...RIDGE BUILDS IN RAPIDLY OVER THE STATE MON AND CONTINUES
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.  THUS THE LA NINA PATTERN KICKS RIGHT
BACK IN AFTER THIS MJO INDUCED STORMY PERIOD DIMINISHES.
QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER CONVECTION REDEVELOPS IN THE INDIAN
OCEAN AS THE 200 MB VELOCITY POTENTIAL ASSOC WITH A POSSIBLE 4TH
MJO THIS WINTER. MODELS DO NOT HANDLE THIS VERY WELL. CAN SAY
WITH SOME CONFIDENCE HOWEVER THAT NEXT WEEK AT LEAST WILL BE DRY AND
MUCH WARMER.

.AVIATION...SHOWERS AROUND THE AREA THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. VAST MAJORITY OF PRECIPITATION IS ALREADY TO
THE EAST OF SF BAY AREA TERMINALS ALTHOUGH VCSH LEFT IN AS A FEW
POCKETS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH 23Z DUE TO MOIST FLOW. CIGS SHOULD
GENERALLY BE BKN BETWEEN 030 AND 045 THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH
HIGHER AMOUNTS MORE LIKELY BY AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST WINDS GENERALLY
UNDER 10 KT THIS MORNING WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY BY AFTERNOON. ONE
EXCEPTION WILL BE NEAR KSNS WHERE GUSTY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THIS
MORNING WILL STITCH TO THE WEST BY AFTERNOON. FOR THE EVENING
HOURS...MOSTLY SCT TO BKN SKIES FROM 030 TO 050 EXPECT NEAR KSTS
WHERE 2SM BR EXPECTED FOR OVERNIGHT HOURS. SCT TO BKN SKIES CONTINUE
THROUGH EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW BEFORE GOING BKN TO OVC BY
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL PICK UP DRAMATICALLY BY LATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

FOR KSFO...FEW SHOWERS STILL EXPECTED THROUGH 22Z WITH MAIN ACTIVITY
OFF TO THE EAST AND SOUTH. SCT030 WITH BKN TO OVC 035 TO 045 ALSO
EXPECTED ALONG WITH PATCHES OF FEW015. WEST WINDS TO AROUND 10 KT
WILL SWITCH TO THE SOUTHEAST BY SATURDAY MORNING. MUCH HIGHER
SPEEDS...WITH GUSTS POTENTIALLY TO 50 KT...ARE FORECAST FOR
LATE SATURDAY EVENING.

.MARINE...WINDS WILL INCREASE FOR TOMORROW IN ALL ZONES ALONG WITH A
SIGNIFICANT RISE IN SEAS. STORM FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE AND
