Area forecast discussion, May 25, 10:30 PM PDT, 4 hours 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
1030 PM PDT FRI MAY 25 2012
.DISCUSSION...AS OF 8:55 PM PDT FRIDAY...AN UNSEASONABLY COLD
UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CENTERED OVER THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY THIS
EVENING. THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH THIS SYSTEM TRIGGERED SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS THE LOW DRIFTED SLOWLY SOUTH
ACROSS CENTRAL CA TODAY. A BRIEF SHOWER SWEPT THROUGH SAN
FRANCISCO THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE MOST WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY
WAS PRIMARILY OVER THE EASTERN PART OF OUR AREA. A SHORT-LIVED
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPED NEAR SAN PABLO BAY AT ABOUT 4:15 THIS
AFTERNOON. A MORE INTENSE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPED IN SOUTHEASTERN
SANTA CLARA COUNTY NEAR PACHECO PASS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THAT
THUNDERSTORM DRIFTED SOUTH...SKIRTING THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
PARTS OF HOLLISTER WHERE THERE WERE REPORTS OF FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN. THE HOLLISTER RAWS SITE
PICKED UP NEARLY A THIRD OF AN INCH OF RAIN WITH THIS
THUNDERSTORM.
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY RAPIDLY DISSIPATED THIS EVENING
AS SURFACE HEATING DIMINISHED. CURRENT RADAR SHOWS ONLY LIGHT
SHOWERS OVER CENTRAL SAN BENITO COUNTY AT THIS TIME. EXPECT ALL
SHOWER ACTIVITY TO END BY LATE EVENING AS THE LOW TRACKS OFF TO
THE SE. THE LOW WILL THEN MOVE QUICKLY TO THE ENE ON SATURDAY.
ONE FINAL SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE LOW IS FORECAST TO SWING
ACROSS CA TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND THIS SHORTWAVE COULD TRIGGER A
FEW SHOWERS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF OUR FORECAST AREA. BUT FOR
THE MOST PART...SATURDAY WILL BE A DRY AND RELATIVELY COOL DAY
UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. BY TOMORROW THE COLDEST AIR ALOFT WILL
HAVE MOVED OFF TO THE EAST AND SO THE AIRMASS IS NOT EXPECTED TO
BE AS UNSTABLE AS IT WAS TODAY. THEREFORE...THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WERE MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 50S AND
60S...EXCEPT FOR A FEW LOWER 70S IN THE NORTH BAY VALLEYS. TODAY'S
TEMPERATURES WERE FROM 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ACROSS ACROSS
MOST OF OUR AREA. THE 60 DEGREE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AT PINNACLES
NATIONAL MONUMENT TODAY WAS 20 DEGREES BELOW THE NORMAL FOR LATE
MAY. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM GRADUALLY OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT STILL
REMAIN COOLER THAN NORMAL. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY AND MIXING TO PRECLUDE FOG FORMATION THIS
WEEKEND...SO HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE FOG FROM THE SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING FORECAST.
A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN CA ON
MONDAY WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE OF NORMAL FOR
THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. BUT THE MODELS AGREE THAT AN
UPPER RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD OVER CA BY MIDWEEK...ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO WARM TO NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL DURING
THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION...AS OF 10:30 PM PDT FRIDAY...SURFACE WINDS HAVE GRADUALLY
DECOUPLED FROM THE GUSTY N-NW WINDS ALOFT. CLOUD COVERAGE WILL BE

ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST. DRIER NORTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP REDUCE
CLOUD COVER SATURDAY.
VICINITY OF KSFO...WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS UNDER 20 KNOTS TONIGHT
BUT SHOULD RESUME AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS APPROACHING
20 KNOTS. OTHERWISE VFR FOR THE PERIOD.
KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...VFR.
MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...W-NW WIND OFF THE OCEAN WILL PRODUCE
MORE IN THE WAY OF LOW CLOUDS OVERNIGHT. LESS CLOUDS PROBABLE ON
SATURDAY DUE TO DRIER NW WIND FLOW. MVFR/VFR FOR THE PERIOD.
