AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
1015 AM PST WED FEB 23 2011

...WINTER STORM WATCH POSTED FOR THE NORTH BAY HILLS THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY...

...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 8:45 AM PST WEDNESDAY...LITTLE TO TALK ABOUT FOR
THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH ALL ATTENTION CONTINUES TO BE ON A COLD UPPER
LEVEL LOW SYSTEM TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST THAT WILL DROP ALONG
THE COAST THROUGH SATURDAY. FIRST CONCERN TO ADDRESS WITH THE
FORECAST TODAY IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN STARTING LATE THURSDAY OVER THE NORTH BAY SPREADING
TO THE SOUTH ON FRIDAY. WILL LIKELY UPGRADE THE NORTH BAY MOUNTAINS
WATCH TO A WARNING AND ISSUE A WATCH FOR ALL REMAINING HIGHER
ELEVATION SPOTS WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE. LATEST GUIDANCE WOULD
KEEP SNOW OUT OF THE LOWEST ELEVATIONS UNTIL FRIDAY EVENING WHEN
THE VERY COLD POST-FRONTAL AIR MOVES ACROSS THE CWA AND POST-FRONTAL
SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS. NEXT CONCERN IS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
NIGHT WHEN VERY COLD AIR DOWN TO THE SURFACE WILL DROP URBAN SPOTS TO
VERY LOW VALUES (RECORD-BREAKING IN SPOTS) -- NAM GUIDANCE IN FACT
NOW HAS 700 MB TEMPS TO -21C BY FRIDAY NIGHT! WILL TAKE A VERY CLOSE
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS SINCE THERE REMAINS SOME SPREAD BETWEEN THE
VARIOUS MODELS. HOWEVER...LOOKS LIKE FREEZING TO LOCALLY SUB-FREEZING
TEMPS WILL HIT PORTIONS OF THE SF BAY AREA (ALTHOUGH PROBABLY NOT SF
ITSELF). TOO FAR OUT TO ISSUE A FREEZING WATCH FOR MOST OF THE BAY
BUT WOULD EXPECT THAT WITH THE MIDNIGHT PACKAGE TONIGHT. WILL UPDATE
THE HWO TO EMPHASIZE THE COLD TEMPERATURES MORE AND ISSUE AN SPS TO
ALSO MENTION THE COLDER AIR.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...ALL ATTENTION THEN SHIFTS TO FRONTAL BOUNDARY
THAT WILL APPROACH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THURSDAY. NO BIG CHANGES
FROM PREVIOUS THINKING WITH MODELS STAYING FAIRLY CONSISTENT OVERALL.
RAIN SHOULD BEGIN TO DEVELOP IN THE NORTH BAY AS EARLY AS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON BUT NAM MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE SLIGHTLY SLOWER. EITHER WAY
HIGHER CONFIDENCE THAT PRECIP WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS MAIN COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURS. HAVE ISSUED A
WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NORTH BAY HILLS ABOVE 1000 FEET STARTING
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THINKING IS THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL
QUICKLY DROP TO AT LEAST 1000 FEET OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
MORNING FOR THE NORTH BAY AS 850 MB TEMPS DROP TO -5 CELSIUS.
STRONGLY CONSIDERED ISSUING A WATCH FOR THE NORTH BAY VALLEYS AS
WELL BUT CONFIDENCE NOT QUITE HIGH ENOUGH. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH THAT HILLS ABOVE 1000 FEET IN THE NORTH BAY WILL SEE
WIDESPREAD SNOW EVENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. IN FACT FOR ALL THE ATTENTION
ON LOW SNOW LEVELS OF LATE IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW MUCH SNOW
FALLS IN THE 1000-2000 FOOT LEVEL WHERE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS COULD
OCCUR ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH BAY WHERE COLD AIR WILL BE IN PLACE
FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT.

IN GENERAL FOLLOWED THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS WHICH BRING THE
ORGANIZED BOUNDARY THROUGH LATER THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
COLD AIR QUICKLY FILTERING OVER THE REGION. THE 06Z NAM DID THROW A
WRINKLE INTO PLAY AS IT DEVELOPS A 1015 MB SURFACE LOW AND BRINGS
IT ONSHORE RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE BAY AREA. THIS SOLUTION
WOULD ALTER THE THERMAL STRUCTURE AND KEEP THE NORTH BAY COLD
ENOUGH FOR A FAIRLY LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT BUT KEEP THINGS AS
BASICALLY ALL RAIN FROM THE BAY AREA SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE MAIN
PRECIPITATION PERIOD. HAVE TO SAY FOR THE MOST PART NOT FOLLOWING
THE 06Z NAM WHICH ALSO CREATED MUCH HIGHER QPF NUMBERS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THIS SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT. IT DOES SHOW HOW
FINICKY THIS WHOLE SITUATION WILL BE FOR NAILING DOWN SNOW LEVELS
AND ACCUMULATIONS.

THUS GOING WITH THE HEMISPHERIC MODELS EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO DROP TO
NEAR SEA LEVEL OR AT LEAST BELOW 1000 FEET BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE
06Z GFS HAS 850 MB TEMPS OF -6 CELSIUS WITH 522 DM THICKNESS OVER
KSFO AT 00Z SATURDAY. THUS MUCH OF THE POST-FRONTAL SHOWER ACTIVITY
LATER FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING WOULD BE OF THE FROZEN NATURE.

STILL ENOUGH TIME ON OUR SIDE TO LET FUTURE SHIFTS MULL OVER THE
DETAILS OF FUTURE WATCHES, ETC. WOULD EXPECT ALL MOUNTAIN ZONES
WILL END UP NEEDING SOME TYPE OF WINTER WEATHER PRODUCT. THE REAL
QUESTION IS THE LOW ELEVATION ZONES AND DETERMINING NOT ONLY WILL
SNOW FLAKES FALL...WHICH IS SEEMING MORE LIKELY BUT WILL THERE BE
IMPACTS (I.E ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL).  EITHER WAY ALL MAJOR PASSES
IN THE BAY AREA INCLUDING HIGHWAY 17 AND PACHECO PASS WILL LIKELY
END UP BEING IMPACTED. ALSO CONCERNED THAT PORTIONS OF THE 101 IN
NORTHERN SONOMA COUNTY COULD SEE SOME WHITE STUFF.

SLIGHTLY QUICKER SOLUTIONS NOW INDICATE THAT MOST PRECIP WILL HAVE
ENDED AS EARLY AS FRIDAY EVENING AND MOST LIKELY BY SATURDAY
MORNING WITH TROUGH DROPPING TOWARDS SOCAL. HOWEVER ANY LINGERING
POST FRONTAL SHOWERS ON SATURDAY MORNING WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY
FALL AS FROZEN PRECIP WITH 850 MB TEMPS DOWN -7 TO -8 RANGE.

OBVIOUSLY VERY COLD DAYS IN STORE BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...LIKELY
RECORD BREAKING COLD WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S.

SUNDAY LOOKS DRY WITH MODEST WARMING AS RIDGING BUILDS INTO MONDAY.
MORE RAIN CHANCES BY TUESDAY/WEDS WITH MUCH WARMER SYSTEMS. LITTLE
TIME SPENT ON LONG RANGE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 10:15 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE LATEST SATELLITE
WATER VAPOUR IMAGE IS SHOWING MOISTURE PUSHING INTO THE FORECAST
AREA THIS MORNING. THIS MOISTURE IS RIDING OVER TOP OF A
DETERIORATING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE
EASTERN PACIFIC. AS A RESULT OF THE MOISTURE AND ASCENT FROM AN
APPROACHING BOUNDARY LOW TO MID LEVEL CUMULUS TYPE CLOUDS ARE
PRESENT ACROSS MANY OF THE TERMINALS.

VICINITY OF KSFO...PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS TODAY WITH SCT020 BASES
AND OCCASIONAL CIGS BKN030 THROUGH 2100Z. CIGS WILL DETERIORATE TO
BKN015 OVC030 AROUND 1200Z. SHOWERS AND LIGHT RAIN ARE EXPECTED
THURSDAY BY 2100Z. GENERALLY LIGHT NORTH WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST
THIS AFTERNOON REACHING 15 TO 20 KT GUSTING TO 28 KT.

KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...PRIMARILY BKN-OVC035 CIGS THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON WITH ONSHORE WINDS INCREASING TO 12 KT BY 2200Z. MVFR
CIGS BKN015 WILL RETURN BY 1000Z.
