AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
1215 PM PDT SAT MAR 31 2012

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 9:15 AM PDT SATURDAY...COASTAL RADARS INDICATE
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THIS MORNING ACROSS OUR AREA AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE CWA. WINDS HAVE PICKED UP AS
THE FRONT APPROACHED AND HAVE LOCALLY GUSTED TO AROUND 40 MPH AT
TIME (IN FACT A FEW ISOLATED SPOTS HAVE GUSTED OVER 50 MPH).
RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO THIS POINT HAVE BEEN MOSTLY UNDER 1/2" WITH
THE MAIN CONCENTRATION OVER THE NORTH BAY. BY THE END OF THE DAY
SOME SPOTS OVER THE NORTH BAY WILL LIKELY HAVE PICKED UP MORE THAN
AN INCH WITH MOST URBAN SPOTS BETWEEN 1/3" AND 2/3" (LOCALLY 1").
HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE ALSO LIKELY OVER COASTAL MOUNTAINS FOR SANTA
CRUZ AND MONTEREY COUNTIES.  DID UPDATE THE GRIDS FOR A LOWER SNOW
LEVELS AS THE PROFILER HAS ALREADY INDICATED VALUES MOVING INTO
OUR AREA LESS THAN EXPECTED. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF A SOME OF THE
PEAKS GET A NICE DUSTING OR MINOR ACCUMULATIONS.

NUMERICAL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE FAVORABLE DYNAMICS THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING FOR CONVECTION SO THE
POTENTIAL AREA FOR THUNDER/SMALL HAIL WAS EXPANDED. WILL BE
INTERESTING TO SEE IF HE HAVE MUCH SURFACE HEATING DUE TO BREAKS
IN CLOUDS BEHIND THE MAIN FRONT TO HELP WITH THE CONVECTION.
LIGHTNING DETECTION DID PICK UP A FEW STRIKES OFF THE OREGON
COAST EARLIER TODAY. WILL UPDATE THE FORECAST TODAY AS NECESSARY
AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE COLD FRONT THAT IS APPROACHING THE
WEST COAST IS STILL OFF THE COAST AND LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES DUE
WEST OF SAN FRANCISCO. SOME WARM FRONTAL RAINS WERE OCCURRING IN
THE NORTH BAY...BUT HAVE TAPERED OFF OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
HOURS. MEANWHILE...THE FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH THE COAST AND
IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE NORTH BAY AROUND SUNRISE WITH WINDS
PICKING UP OUT OF THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. RAIN WILL THEN
SPREAD SOUTH REACHING THE GREATER SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BY MID
MORNING...AND THE MONTEREY BAY AREA AN HOUR OR SO LATER. STEADY
RAINS WILL TURN TO SHOWERS BY AFTERNOON...WITH RAINFALL ENDING
OVERNIGHT. RAINFALL ESTIMATES WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE FROM 0.5 TO 1.25 INCHES...EXCEPT LESS THAN A HALF INCH IN
THE SOUTHERN INLAND VALLEYS AND PERHAPS AS MUCH AS 1.5 INCHES IN
NORTHWESTERN SONOMA COUNTY. SINCE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS FORECAST
TO MOVE THROUGH QUICKLY...LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAIN ARE NOT EXPECTED
IN ANY ONE PLACE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

WINDS AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONT ARE FORECAST TO BE BRISK...IN
THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE...WITH STRONGER WINDS
ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BUT SWITCH TO NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT.

HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC BY SUNDAY
BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS TO THE DISTRICT THROUGH ABOUT TUESDAY. THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF STORM SYSTEMS FORECAST TO AFFECT THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST COAST COULD BRING SOME RAINS TO THE NORTH BAY LATE TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. BEYOND THAT...THERE ARE VAST DIFFERENCES IN MODEL
SOLUTIONS WITH THE GFS KEEPING HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE DISTRICT WHILE THE ECMWF BRINGS A DEEP UPPER TROUGH
SOUTH ALONG THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST ON THURSDAY WHICH COULD
SPREAD RAIN FARTHER SOUTH THROUGH THE ENTIRE CWA BY FRIDAY. FOR
NOW...NO CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED...BUT DEPENDING ON LATER
RUNS...WILL HAVE TO SEE.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 12:15 PM PDT SATURDAY...WINDS TURNED WEST
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND FRONT BUT ARE NOW TURNING SSW AHEAD OF UPPER
TROUGH AXIS. WILL HOLD ONTO MORE OF A SSW FLOW THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE SWITCH TO WEST OCCURS THIS EVENING WITH GUSTY
WINDS AT ALL TERMINALS...ESPECIALLY KSFO. STEADY RAINS DONE FOR
BAY AREA WITH A LULL FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE MORE -SHRA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN ENDING ALL -SHRA BY ABOUT 06Z.

VICINITY OF KSFO...EXPECTING SSW WINDS THROUGH ABOUT 00Z AHEAD OF
UPPER TROUGH AXIS. THEN MORE -SHRA WITH SWITH TO WEST WINDS THIS
EVENING AS UPPER TROUGH PASSES. -SHRA SHOULD END BY 06Z. GOOD NEWS
IS CLEARING AND DRYING TREND OVERNIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...BACK EDGE OF FRONT WILL PASS OVER
KMRY BY ABOUT 20Z...THEN WINDS WILL SWITCH BACK TO SW AHEAD OF
UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE THAT WILL OCCUR LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING WITH MORE -SHRA AND WIND SHIFT TO WEST. DRY AIR WORKS IN
OVERNIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...AS OF 4:50 AM PDT SATURDAY...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR 130 WEST 40 NORTH WILL PUSH TOWARDS THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST TODAY. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PRODUCING
WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STORM. THE STORM
IS ALSO TRAVELING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 KNOTS TOWARDS THE COAST. THIS RESULTS
IN A CONDITION CALLED DYNAMIC FETCH WHICH CAN RESULT IN RATHER LARGE
SWELL. FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS ENP AND SWAN WAVE MODELS HAVE BEEN PREDICTING
WAVES RANGING BETWEEN 18 TO 24 FEET IMPACTING THE COAST FROM SONOMA
COUNTY TO MONTEREY COUNTY SATURDAY EVENING.

WITH DYNAMIC FETCH IN PLACE AND CONSISTENT MODEL SOLUTIONS OVER
THE PAST FEW RUNS HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY VALID
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THESE LARGE STEEP
SWELLS WILL NOT BE GREAT SURFING WAVES BUT WILL PRODUCE LARGE
BREAKING WAVES AT SOME LOCATIONS AND SURGING WAVES ON STEEP WEST
FACING BEACHES SUCH AS MONASTERY BEACH IN CARMEL. MAJOR THREATS FROM
THESE WAVES WILL BE LARGE RUN-UP WHICH COULD WASH UNSUSPECTING BEACH
GOERS FROM BEACHES. THESE LARGE WAVES WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF WASHING
FISHERMEN FROM ROCKS AND JETTIES. AS ALWAYS STRONG RIP CURRENTS WILL
BE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LARGE WAVES.

THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL BE VALID FOR THE ENTIRE COASTLINE WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF THE SANTA CRUZ AREA. THE DIRECTION AND PERIOD OF
THESE WAVES WILL MAKE STEEP BEACHES ALONG THE SONOMA COAST AND
MONTEREY BIG SUR COASTLINE...SUCH AS MONASTERY BEACH...PARTICULARLY
SUSCEPTIBLE TO LARGE SURGING WAVES AND SIGNIFICANT RUN-UP. BEACH
GOERS SHOULD USE CAUTION WHEN VISITING THE BEACHES AND ALWAYS KEEP
AN EYE ON THE OCEAN.
