AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
138 PM PST MON JAN 23 2012

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 1:30 PM PST MONDAY...SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER THE
SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE DISTRICT...BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TAPERING
OFF IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE PARENT SFC LOW CONTINUES TO
MOVE WELL EAST OF THE DISTRICT. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS INDC THAT
RIDGING IS STARTING TO BUILD TOWARDS THE COAST FROM THE EASTERN
PACIFIC.

ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD END BY LATE AFTERNOON AS THE BEST
MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST. RIDGING WILL
BUILD INTO THE DISTRICT FORCING THE STORM TRACK WELL TO THE NORTH.
THE UPSHOT IS THAT THE DISTRICT WILL ONCE AGAIN BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A RIDGE WITH DRY WEATHER FOR THE NEXT 7-10 DAYS.

AGREE WITH LAST NIGHTS FORECASTER THAT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF
TULE FOG THE NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS AS THE RIDGE BUILDS OVERHEAD.
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS...ALONG WITH A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER
WILL ALLOW FOG TO FORM IN THE INLAND VALLEYS DURING THE
NIGHT/MORNING HOURS. WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A LIGHT OFFSHORE
FLOW...FOG COULD ALSO BE ADVECTED WEST THROUGH THE CARQUINEZ
STRAIGHTS AND THE PASSES FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY. WITH 850 MB
TEMPS AS WARM AS 13-15C DAYTIME HIGHS COULD BE WELL INTO THE
60S...IF NOT INTO THE MID 70S BY MIDWEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE
INLAND VALLEYS OF MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES.

HAVE KEPT OUT FOG OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND
INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC
NW AND THEN DIVE SOUTHEAST. THIS WOULD BRING A STRONGER OFFSHORE
FLOW AS WELL AS MODERATE COLD ADVECTION. THIS MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO
KEEP THE FOG OUT OF THE DISTRICT. EITHER WAY...IT WILL BE DRY WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND AS
WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 9:37 AM PST MONDAY...LINGERING SHOWERS AND LOW
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT AREA TERMINALS THROUGH EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...OCCASIONAL GUSTY WINDS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE SFC LOW EXITS EASTWARD
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH AND CIGS WILL LIFT.
FOR TONIGHT...TRICKY SITUATION WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WHICH
MAY PRODUCE PATCHY FOG. FOR NOW...WILL JUST INTRODUCE RETURNING
CIGS AT MOST TERMINALS.  OVERALL CONF IS LOW-MEDIUM.

VICINITY OF KSFO...WILL KEEP LINGERING SHOWERS AND IFR COND POSS
THROUGH 20Z. AFTER 20S WILL LIFT CIGS TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
RE-DEVELOP MVFR CIGS FOR TONIGHT WITH SOME VSBY RESTRICTIONS.

KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO...BUT WINDS MAY BE A LITTLE LESS.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...SIMILAR TO SF BAY WILL KEEP MVFR
CIGS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN VFR. MVFR CIGS WILL RETURN TONIGHT.
