AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
553 PM PDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...ANOTHER NIGHT OF LOW CLOUDS AND COASTAL DRIZZLE IS IN
STORE FOR THE FORECAST AREA WITH SEASONALLY COOL TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. A SLOW WARMING TREND WILL RESUME FOR THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK ALONG WITH ONGOING DRY WEATHER AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 2:09 PM PDT TUESDAY...SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING AROUND 5 DEGREES COOLER THAN NORMAL.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR THE COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES
INCLUDE A DEEP MARINE LAYER WHICH IS CURRENTLY AROUND 2000 FEET
DEEP...GENTLE ONSHORE FLOW AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE LINGERING
ALONG THE COAST. THE TROUGH AXIS IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN LIFTING OF THE MARINE
LAYER AND ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS AND COASTAL DRIZZLE.

THE 1200Z ECMWF AND GFS40 HAVE INITIALIZED WELL WITH THE CURRENT
SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND BOTH MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A TROUGHY PATTERN
LINGERING OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS SUGGESTS
SEASONALLY COOL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. BOTH
MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE
EASTERN PACIFIC...TRIGGERING A WARMING TREND TO BEGIN AS EARLY AS
FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THE MODELS ARE NOT IN ABSOLUTE AGREEMENT BOTH ARE
SHOWING 500 MB HEIGHTS REACHING 585 DM OVER THE CWA ON SATURDAY.
AT 850 MB TEMPERATURES REACH 23 DEGREES CELSIUS ON SATURDAY WITH
GENTLE NORTHERLY WINDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN COASTAL TEMPERATURES
IN THE 70S AND INLAND TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE 90S WITH
TYPICAL HOT SPOTS REACHING 100. SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE
ANTICIPATED ON SUNDAY HOWEVER MODEL AGREEMENT REALLY BREAKS DOWN
AT THIS POINT.

IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST THE ECMWF APPEARS TO BE COMING CLOSER
INTO LINE WITH THE GFS40. PREVIOUSLY THE ECMWF WAS ADVERTISING A
FAIRLY DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUESDAY. IT HAS
SINCE PUSHED THIS LOW FARTHER NORTH INTO BC BEFORE SWINGING IT
SOUTH WEDNESDAY FURTHER TOWARDS THE GREAT BASIN AREA. ACCORDING TO
THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTERS 6 TO 10 DAY OUTLOOK THERE IS A
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL CHANCE OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NEAR
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IN THE 8 TO 14 DAY OUTLOOK.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 5:15 PM PDT TUESDAY...A STRENGTHENING NORTHERLY
GRADIENT AND A SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER ONSHORE GRADIENT WILL
CONTINUE TO SWEEP THE STATUS FROM THE COAST THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
STRATUS WILL ALSO RETURN TO BAY AREA TERMINALS SIGNIFICANTLY LATER
THAN YESTERDAY WHEN THE ONSHORE GRADIENT FROM SFO-WMC WAS 8.8 MB
COMPARED TO 2.8 MB CURRENTLY. MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW UP TO 15 KT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING THEN EASE OVERNIGHT BECOMING LIGHT AND
LOCALLY VARIABLE. CLEARING WEDNESDAY IS ANTICIPATED AROUND 18Z-
19Z. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

VICINITY OF KSFO...VFR CONDITION EXPECTED UNTIL 08Z. MVFR CIGS
EXPECTED TO RETURN BETWEEN 08Z AND 10Z TONIGHT. WEST WINDS TO
AROUND 15 KT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING THEN EASE BECOMING
LIGHT AND LOCALLY VARIABLE OVERNIGHT. CLEARING EXPECTED AROUND
18Z WEDNESDAY MORNING.

KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...MVFR CONDITION EXPECTED TO PERSIST
OVER KMRY WITH CIGS REACHING KSNS AFTER 02Z THIS EVENING. WEST
WINDS TO AROUND 12 KT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING THEN EASE
BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVERNIGHT. CLEARING EXPECTED BETWEEN
18Z-20Z WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...AS OF 2:09 PM PDT TUESDAY...MODERATE NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OFF THE
WEST COAST. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL MAINLY BE OVER THE OUTER
WATERS NORTH OF POINT REYES. GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL. NORTHERLY SWELLS WILL BUILD
THROUGH THE WORK WEEK THEN SUBSIDE OVER THE WEEKEND.
