AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA
930 PM PDT WED MAR 16 2011

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...
SHORTWAVE TROUGH PIVOTING THROUGH PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORCAL
BROUGHT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SHORTWAVE IS NOW MOVING INTO
THE SIERRA NEVADA AND WITHOUT SOLAR INSOLATION...THE SHOWERS ARE
WEAKENING QUICKLY. WITH MINIMAL RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON...LOCAL
CREEKS CONTINUE TO RECEDE AND WILL ALLOW URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOOD ADVISORY TO EXPIRE. SMALL SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT SHOULD BRING SOME CLEARING. PARTIAL CLEARING HAS ALREADY
ALLOWED EVENING TEMPERATURES TO DROP TO A FEW TO SEVERAL DEGREES
BELOW 24 HOURS AGO AND SOME PATCHY FOG MAY BE POSSIBLE IN THE
VALLEYS TONIGHT. A WEAK DISTURBANCE NOW APPROACHING 130 WEST IS
FORECAST TO LIFT ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THURSDAY BRINGING
CLOUDINESS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA AND A THREAT OF
PRECIP FROM ABOUT SACRAMENTO NORTHWARD. ANY PRECIPITATION FROM THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT. A COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NOW IN
THE GULF OF ALASKA IS FORECAST TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS AND WILL PIVOT A MORE SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL BAND THROUGH NORCAL
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY PRECIP TO NORCAL THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE FRONT SLIDES
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH NORCAL. 00Z RUN OF THE GFS REMAINS A LITTLE
WETTER WITH THIS SYSTEM THAN PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE NAM AND ECMWF BUT
TRENDING DOWNWARD A BIT SO BELIEVE GOING WITH NAM/ECMWF QPF IS A
GOOD BET FOR NOW. THIS SYSTEM STILL LOOKING LIKE IT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER THAN LAST COUPLE OF SYSTEMS AND CURRENT SNOW
LEVEL FORECASTS IN THE 3000 FOOT RANGE LOOK GOOD FOR NOW AS WELL.
WILL THEREFORE LEAVE WINTER STORM WATCHES NOW IN AFFECT IN PLACE.

MAIN COLD UPPER LOW FORECAST TO REMAIN OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
COAST THROUGH SATURDAY SO SHOWER THREAT AND COLD AIRMASS WILL REMAIN
OVER THE AREA SATURDAY.

FARTHER NORTH OVER NORCAL SUNDAY SHOWING MUCH HIGHER QPF OVER OUR
CWA. GEM SOLUTION LEANS TOWARDS THE EURO AND THUS WILL KEEP HIGH
CHANCE POPS OVER THE CWA SUNDAY. SOME SHOWERS CONTINUE MONDAY AS
MODELS WEAKEN UPPER LOW AND MOVE IT INLAND...BUT DIFFER WITH ONSHORE
TRACK. MODELS TRENDING TOWARDS LONG WAVE TROUGHING CONTINUING TO
