AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
950 PM PDT MON JUL 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...
RECORD MAX TEMPS TODAY AT RDD AND RBL AS ADIABATIC WARMING FROM NLY
WINDS AND IMPROVING SMOKE CONDITIONS ALLOWED TEMPS TO WARM TO WHAT
WOULD BE SUGGESTED BY TAKING THE 850 MBS TEMP DOWN THE DRY ADIABAT..
AND ADDING A COUPLE OF DEG FOR THE NLY/DOWNSLOPE FLOW. IN OTHER
AREAS...THE SMOKEY CONDITIONS MAY HAVE REDUCED THE MAX TEMPS BY
ABOUT 5 OR 6 DEG OR SO.

ERN PAC RIDGE EXPANDING EWD WITH ANTICYCLONIC FLOW AND LARGE SCALE
SUBSIDENCE INCREASING OVER NORCAL. SURFACE PRESSURE RISES TO THE N
CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE MFR-RDD GRADIENT TO ABOUT 10 MBS AT 03Z
WITH MODELS FORECASTING AN INCREASE IN N-NELY WINDS ACROSS THE
NRN ZONES BETWEEN 09Z-15Z TUE. UPPER AIR SUPPORT IS WEAK DUE TO THE
SYNOPTIC PATTERN WITH A BUILDING ERN PAC RIDGE SO WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE LIMITED IN AREAL EXTENT. HOWEVER...BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDINGS
FOR RDD INDICATE WINDS IN THE 20-30 KTS RANGE IN THE UPPER BOUNDARY
LAYER AND JUST ABOVE IT WHICH MAY IMPACT THE FAVORED SW-NE FAVORED
RIDGES WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SMOKE PLUMES FROM VARIOUS NORCAL WILD
FIRES INDICATE TRANSPORT WINDS WERE MAINLY OUT OF THE NE TODAY...AND
THIS IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE OVERNITE AND INTO TUE. SMOKE SHOULD BE
LOCALLY DENSE ENOUGH TO REDUCE VSBYS GENERALLY OVER PORTIONS OF
ZONES 15, 16, 66, 63 PRIMARILY. THAT MEANS MUCH OF ZONE 13 AND NRN
15 WILL HAVE LESS SMOKEY CONDITIONS THAN ELSEWHERE...AND WITH
CONTINUED WARMING OF 850 MBS TO 30-31 DEG C...RECORD TEMPS AROUND
115 ARE POSSIBLE FOR RDD/RBL ON TUE. NLY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
WEAKEN DURING THE DAY ON TUE AS THE NLY GRADIENT RELAXES DUE TO
INLAND PRESSURE FALLS AS THE ERN PAC HIGH EXPANDS FURTHER INLAND.
THAT MEANS THE NLY WINDS WILL KEEP THE MIN TEMPS UP TONITE...WITH
THE NLY WINDS BECOMING LESS OF A FACTOR DURING THE DAY...ALTHO THAT
SHOULD NOT MATTER MUCH DUE TO THE SYNOPTIC WARMING.

WED/THU LOOK ALSO LOOK VERY HOT WITHOUT MUCH APPRECIABLE CHANGE IN
THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT NORCAL WILL SEE MUCH
CHANGE UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN A TROF MOVES INTO WRN B.C. AND THE PAC
NW AND BEGINS TO PUT A SIGNIFICANT DENT (WEAKENING) IN (OF) THIS
RIDGE.

GFS CROSS SECTION SHOWS A VERY LIMITED TIME OF SELY FLOW AOA 700 MBS
THAT MAY ADVECT SOME SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE NWD ON TUE. FLOW TURNS
PRIMARILY SWLY THEN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. AT THIS TIME...THE
MOISTURE LOOKS VERY SHALLOW WITH LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE PREVAILING
OVER THE AREA. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH CONVERGENCE OVER TUOLUMNE CO
FOR A REPEAT OF CUMULUS/ISOLD THUNDER DURING THE AFTERNOON FOR MUCH
OF THE WEEK...BUT DO NOT EXPECT THUNDER TO MAKE IT INTO OUR FORECAST
AREA FOR NOW.    JHM

.AVIATION...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXCEPT AREAS OF MVFR AND
LOCAL IFR VSBYS IN SMOKE VCNTY OF WILDFIRES AND ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SACRAMENTO AND NORTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEYS NIGHTS AND MORNINGS.
LOCAL NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS 8-15 KTS WITH ISOLD G25-30
KTS POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND COASTAL MOUNTAINS AND
WEST SLOPES SIERRA NEVADA TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING MAINLY OVER
