950 AM PST SAT MAR 1 2008

.DISCUSSION...
VORTICITY CENTER/UPPER TROF AXIS HAVE MOVED E OF SIERNEV AND OVER
NWRN NV AT 17Z...AND TAIL END OF FRONTAL SYSTEM AND COLDER CLOUD
TOPS ARE GRADUALLY WARMING AS THEY MOVE SWD FROM OUR SRN ZONES AND
INTO THE HANFORD FORECAST AREA. PCPN AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN RATHER SPARSE
WITH THIS SYSTEM...RANGING MOSTLY FROM A FEW HUNDREDTHS TO LOCALLY 2
TENTHS IN THE MTNS. ISOLATED HUNDREDTHS OCCURRED IN THE VLY
LOCATIONS WITH SOME VIRGA NOTED IN THE LOCAL AREA. SHOWERS OVER THE
N COAST ASSOCIATED WITH INDIRECT CIRCULATION OF THE UPPER JET AND
INSTABILITY FORECAST TO GENERALLY WEAKEN OVER THAT AREA DURING THE
AFTN. ALTHO THIS SYSTEM IS NOT BRINGING MUCH PCPN TO THE AREA...WE
DO EXPECT COOLER TEMPS...BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS AND CLEARING SKIES.
MORNING RAOBS FROM OAK/MFR/REV INDICATE STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE
COOLING...GREATER THAN 10 DEG AT 100-200 MBS AGL...SO WE EXPECT A
MUCH COOLER DAY TODAY. ALSO...WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TODAY
AS LOW TO MID LEVEL CAA STEEPEN/INCREASE LAPSE RATES. BUFKIT ETA/NAM
PROFILES INDICATE LAPSE RATES INCREASE TO 8 TO 10 DEG C/KM UP TO 700
MBS FOR RDD AND UP TO 800 MBS FOR SAC/SCK THIS AFTN. LAPSE RATES
FORECAST TO VIRTUALLY BECOME ADIABATIC OVER THE LOWEST MILE OF THE
ATMOSPHERE ALLOWING DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER OF THE STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT. CROSS SECTION OF POTENTIAL TEMP INDICATES SUPERADIABATIC
CONDITIONS JUST S OF OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTN AS POTENTIAL TEMP
DECREASES WITH HEIGHT THERE. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT PRESSURE
GRADIENTS WILL BE INCREASING WITH A NWLY GRADIENT FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO 3 MBS FROM RDD-SAC THIS AFTN...THEN BECOMING MORE NLY
ABOUT 7 MBS BY 12Z SUN. SO BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY OCCUR
OVERNITE ESPECIALLY IN AREAS ABOVE THE RADIATIVE INVERSION...ABOUT
1000-2000 FT. WE DO NOT EXPECT ADVSRY WINDS OVERNITE BUT WE WILL BE
LOOKING MORE CLOSELY AT THAT FOR THE AFTN PACKAGE. BREEZY CONDITIONS
ALSO LIKELY THROUGH SUN DUE TO THE PRESSURE RISES OVER THE PAC NW
AND GREAT BASIN AS THE ERN PAC RIDGE BUILDS INTO NORCAL BEHIND THE
DEPARTING TROF. TEMPS AND THICKNESSES FORECAST TO REBOUND
SIGNIFICANTLY ON SUN...AND TEMPS SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THE NLY
ADIABATIC WINDS AS WELL. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH SUN NITE.

A MUCH WEAKER SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO MOVE OVER THE RIDGE AND INTO
THE GREAT BASIN MON/TUE WITH LITTLE IMPACT FOR INTERIOR NORCAL AS
THE COLD FRONT SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INLAND. NLY PRESSURE
GRADIENTS WILL INCREASE AGAIN TO GIVE OUR NRN MTN AND VLY ZONES
LOCALLY BREEZY WINDS AT TIMES...THROUGH TUE NITE. OTHERWISE DRY AND
WARM WX IS FORECAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK WITH ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS. THE PATTERN MAY CHANGE NEXT WEEKEND AS THE MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS INDICATE THE WLYS FLATTENING THE RIDGE ALONG THE COAST
PAVING THE WAY FOR AT LEAST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PCPN NEXT WEEKEND.
