* OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IS THE PFEIFFER FIRE BURN SCAR AND 
  SYCAMORE CANYON AND OTHER LOCAL DRAINAGES WITHIN THE BURN SCAR

  SEISMIC ADJUSTMENT OF SIGNIFICANT MAGNITUDE THAT OCCURS LOCAL 
  TO THE PFEIFFER BURN SCAR DURING THE COURSE OF FORECAST 
  PRECIPITATION MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO ACCENTUATE DEBRIS FLOW 
  POTENTIAL. EXTRA CAUTION AND PREPAREDNESS IS URGED IN LIGHT OF 
  THIS... AS WELL AS THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS FROM THE RAINFALL 
  THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
938 AM PST THU FEB 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...ANOTHER STRONGER STORM WILL AFFECT THE AREA LATER
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY BRINGING STRONG WINDS AND PERIODS OF RAIN.
SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF ON SATURDAY. AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL
KEEP SHOWER CHANCES IN THE FORECAST OFF AND ON THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 09:00 AM PST THURSDAY...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
CONTINUED TO IMPACT MUCH OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT...WITH SIX HOUR
RAINFALL TOTALS GENERALLY BETWEEN A TENTH OF AN INCH TO AROUND
THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN. SHOWER ACTIVITY IS FORECAST TO
DIMINISH THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE UPPER
TROUGH SHIFTS QUICKLY EAST. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS WERE ALSO PRESENT
OVERNIGHT...WITH WIND GUSTS GENERALLY BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH. A FEW
LOCATIONS DID EXPERIENCE WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH...MAINLY OVER
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY WILL BE SPENT FINE TUNING TIMING OF
STRONGEST WINDS AND AMOUNT OF RAIN EXPECTED WITH UPPER LOW
FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE NORTHERN CA COASTLINE LATER
TODAY INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WE WILL LIKELY BE ISSUING A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR MANY COASTAL LOCATIONS WHERE WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE FORECAST FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THIS POWERFUL STORM
SYSTEM SLATED TO IMPACT THE AREA AS EARLY AS MIDNIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...AS OF 3:06 AM PST THURSDAY...THE RADAR SCOPE SHOWS A
DECREASING TREND OF SHOWERS AS YESTERDAY'S FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE
TO THE EAST. THERE CONTINUE TO BE A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES DETECTED
OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...THE MOST RECENT STRIKE NEAR HOLLISTER
AT 1:30 AM. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH THIS MORNING. AN UPPER
LOW WILL PUSH INTO SOUTHERN OREGON THIS MORNING...AND AS THIS
MOVES EAST...A CHANCE OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTH BAY
THIS MORNING. THE REST OF THE DISTRICT SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN THE
WEATHER THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM DUE TO AFFECT THE STATE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ABOUT
900 MILES WEST OF SAN FRANCISCO...STEMMING FROM AN UPPER LOW
CENTER NEAR 43N/148W. THIS SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE COAST
TODAY...SPLITTING FROM THE PARENT LOW AND FORMING INTO A DEEP LOW
CENTER WEST OF CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS SYSTEM NEARS THE
COAST TONIGHT...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL REALLY RAMP UP OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS THEN SPREAD INLAND FRIDAY MORNING. GALE WARNINGS
ARE POSTED FOR THE WATERS FOR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...AND A HIGH
WIND WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING FOR COASTAL AND MOUNTAIN AREAS IN THE DISTRICT. THESE
WINDS COULD BE STRONGER THAN THE WINDS TODAY AND MORE WIDESPREAD
SO THERE IS A THREAT OF MORE DOWNED TREES AND POWER LINES.

RAIN FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE CENTRAL COAST SOMETIME
AFTER MIDNIGHT THEN SPREAD NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THE
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE ACROSS THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS WHILE RAIN SHADOW
EFFECTS WILL LIMIT RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE VALLEYS ESPECIALLY IN
THE SALINAS AND SANTA CLARA VALLEYS. THE MAIN RAIN BAND WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND RAIN WILL TURN TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS. RAIN COULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY IN THE SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND. THE MAIN DYNAMICS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE ONE-HALF TO ONE INCH IN THE
VALLEYS AND 1-4 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH GREATEST AMOUNTS IN
THE SANTA CRUZ AND SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS.

SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL END SATURDAY NIGHT AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES AMONGST THE MEDIUM
RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS...BUT THE UPSHOT IS THAT THE WEATHER COULD
REMAIN UNSETTLED FOR MOST OF THE DISTRICT AT TIMES NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 9:40 AM PST THURSDAY...SHOWERS HAVE ENDED FOR
ALL TERMINALS HOWEVER PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE TO KEEP CLOUDS
