AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
330 PM PST MON FEB 14 2011

.DISCUSSION...
THE INITIAL FRONTAL BAND AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT HAS MOVED ACROSS
NORCAL AND...AS EXPECTED...WE ARE SEEING A LULL OR BREAK IN THE
PRECIP. THE UPSLOPE FLOW HOWEVER WILL KEEP SOME LIGHT SHOWERS GOING
MAINLY IN THE NRN AND NERN MTN ZONES AHEAD OF THE NEXT WX SYSTEM.
THE WINDS ARE STILL BLOWING IN THE VALLEY AS THE MFR-SAC GRADIENT
HAS INCREASED TO 15 MBS...STRONGER THAN FORECAST. THE LAMP GUIDANCE
HAS INDICATED THE WINDS MAY LAST UNTIL 02Z-03Z OR SO...SO WE HAVE
EXTENDED THE WIND ADVSRY INTO THE EVENING FOR A COUPLE OF HRS.

IR IMAGERY SHOWS A MASSIVE AREA OF OPEN CELLULAR CUMULUS OVER THE
NERN PAC...AND THIS COLD AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL BE MOVING TOWARD
THE COAST ON TUE AND INLAND ON WED. PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
OVER THE NRN ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT AHEAD OF A SHORT WAVE BACK NEAR
40N/140W WHICH WILL APPROACH THE N COAST BY TUE MORNING. ALREADY THE
SHORT WAVE JUST OFF THE ORE COAST AND THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS
COLDER AIR IS INTERACTING WITH FRONT #2 JUST OFFSHORE...AND THIS
FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ONTO THE COAST AS THE SHORT WAVE NEAR
40N/140W APPROACHES THE COAST. SO WE LOOK FOR AN INCREASE IN BOTH
RAIN AND WIND BY TUE MORNING OVER INTERIOR NORCAL.

FROM 12Z-18Z TUE...THE 925 MBS WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO
50-55 KTS IN THE NRN SAC VLY AHEAD OF FRONT #2...WITH THE NEXT ROUND
OF WIND AND RAIN. PRESSURE GRADIENTS ARE FORECAST TO REACH ABOUT
12-14 MBS FROM MFR-SAC ON TUE (COMPARABLE TO TODAY) RESULTING IN
WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE VALLEY AND MTNS. THUS...WE ARE FAIRLY
CONFIDENT THAT ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE VALLEY
AGAIN ON TUE.

SUCCESSIVE SHORT WAVES WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE DEEPENING LONGER
WAVE TROF THROUGH WED GIVING NORCAL ADDITIONAL BURSTS OF PRECIP TUE
NITE AND WED. A DOUBLE JET STRUCTURE...DIRECT CIRCULATION ACROSS THE
ORE BORDER AND INDIRECT CIRCULATION ACROSS CENTRAL CA...IS STILL
FORECAST TO AFFECT NORCAL FROM TUE AFTERNOON INTO WED MORNING. THIS
WILL ENHANCE UPWARD MOTION OVER OUR AREA...RESULTING IN INCREASING
PRECIP AND WIND FOR OUR FORECAST AREA. WHILE QPFS FROM THE FIRST
SYSTEM TODAY ARE GENERALLY UP TO A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH...QPFS IN
EXCESS OF AN INCH IN THE VALLEY AND WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MTNS WITH THIS
SECOND...STRONGER AND LONGER DURATION STORM TUE AND WED.

BY WED AFTERNOON...THE COLD UPPER TROF WILL MOVE INLAND AND THE AIR
MASS WILL DESTABILIZE DURING THE AFTERNOON. NORCAL WILL BE ON THE
COLD SIDE OF A STRONG CYCLONIC JET...AND CAPES ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO SEVERAL HUNDRED J/KG IN THE VALLEY...SIGNIFICANT FOR
NORCAL STANDARDS. LOW-TOPPED CBS ARE POSSIBLE...WHICH TEND TO
PRODUCE SMALL HAIL IN THE VALLEY AND FOOTHILLS...AND ICE PELLET OR
SLEET SHOWERS IN THE FOOTHILLS. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD ALSO LOWER INTO
THE FOOTHILLS AS WELL...IT COULD GET VERY MESSY.

MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...COLD TEMPERATURES AND LINGERING SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED ON THU AS A BROAD UPPER TROF REMAINS OVER NORCAL. THEN THE
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS REFORM A CLOSED LOW OFF THE COAST WHICH WILL
AFFECT NORCAL WX DURING THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.     JHM

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
MODELS ARE UNUSUALLY DIVERGENT WITH EACH OTHER FOR FRIDAY...WITH
HIGH UNCERTAINTY FOR CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION. THE LATEST RUNS OF
THE GFS HAVE THE UPPER LOW WELL OFF THE COAST...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS
A SHORTWAVE ELONGATING THE UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE
GFS WOULD KEEP THINGS RELATIVELY DRY FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITH SOME UPPER LEVEL RIDGING. THIS WOULD BRING JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. THE ECMWF...ON THE
OTHER HAND...WOULD BRING SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND SNOW AS WELL AS COOLER
TEMPERATURES. WILL LEAN MORE TOWARDS THE ECMWF FOR NOW...WITH
CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE CWA. SATURDAY IS ACTUALLY A
LITTLE MORE CLEAR WITH GFS...ECMWF...GEM...AND UKMET SHOWING THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. WILL GO WITH MORE SHOWER
ACTIVITY AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH. SUNDAY LOOKS DRIER...BUT
WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCES OF SOME SHOWERS. ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DROPS SOUTHWARD FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA ON MONDAY. THIS
SHOULD REINFORCE THE TROUGH PATTERN AND KEEP CONDITIONS COOL AND
UNSETTLED. EK
