AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
1013 AM PST WED DEC 10 2014

...A POWERFUL PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM REMAINS ON TRACK TO IMPACT THE
REGION FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY...

.SYNOPSIS...A VERY POWERFUL PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM REMAINS ON TRACK
TO IMPACT A MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIA BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY. THE GREATEST IMPACTS WILL BE FROM VERY HEAVY RAIN AND
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AHEAD OF...AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 09:10 AM PST WEDNESDAY...NOT PLANNING FOR ANY
CHANGES AT THIS TIME TO THE SHORT-TERM FORECAST. A MIX OF LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG CONTINUE TO IMPACT A GOOD PORTION OF THE REGION
WITH SURFACE DEW POINT TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S AND SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 60S. THIS HAS ALREADY ALLOWED FOR VERY
GOOD SATURATION IN THE LOWER LEVELS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING STORM
SYSTEM. WITH THAT...WILL FOCUS THIS MORNING ON THE LATEST TIMING
BASED ON THE FORECAST MODELS TO GET OUT FOR THIS AFTERNOON'S
FORECAST PACKAGE. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THE GREATEST IMPACTS
FROM THE HEAVY RAIN AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE OVER
THE NORTH BAY BETWEEN 1 AM - 7 AM THURSDAY AND WILL SPREAD
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE LATE MORNING...IMPACTING THE BAY AREA
BETWEEN 4 AM - 10 AM AND SPREAD SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE LATE MORNING
AND AFTERNOON. THE FRONT DOES NOT LOOK TO IMPACT MONTEREY COUNTY
UNTIL AFTER NOON THURSDAY. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON
POTENTIAL IMPACTS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...AS OF 3:30 AM PST WEDNESDAY...DEFINITE CALM
BEFORE THE STORM THIS MORNING WITH LIGHT WINDS PLUS SEVERAL
STATIONS REPORTING FOG WITH LOW VISIBILITIES. IN FACT A FEW
LOCATIONS HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO HALF A MILE OR LESS SO ADDED A
MENTION OF PATCHY DENSE FOG TO ALMOST ALL OF SF BAY PLUS DOWN THE
SALINAS VALLEY. TEMPS ARE RUNNING CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE
YESTERDAY -- MOSTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. THE BUOYS ARE STILL
REPORTING READINGS IN THE 60S WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.

MAIN FOCUS FOR THE SHIFT (AND FOR A SLEW OF PREVIOUS SHIFTS) HAS
BEEN FOR THE VERY POWERFUL STORM THAT WILL IMPACT OUR AREA
STARTING LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. FOR THOSE
NEEDING A QUICK SUMMARY...LITTLE HAS CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS
LINE OF THINKING. RAIN WILL SPREAD TO THE NORTH BAY OVERNIGHT
WITH THE MAIN BAND OF VERY HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED TO HIT THE NORTH
BAY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS BAND ALONG WITH VERY STRONG
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY AND BRING HEAVY
RAIN TO THE SF REGION STARTING NEAR OR JUST AFTER THE MORNING
RUSH. IT WILL THEN PROGRESS DOWN TO THE SOUTH BAY AND MONTEREY
BAY REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS HAVE ALSO CHANGED VERY LITTLE FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF
FORECAST PACKAGES.

NOW TO THE DETAILS...

MAIN PACIFIC LOW AROUND 550 MILES WEST OF SEATTLE CONTINUES TO
STRENGTHEN THIS HOUR WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE NOW DOWN TO 968 MB
(COMPARED TO AROUND 975 MB JUST THREE HOURS AGO). ALONG AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT AN INTENSE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE -- POSSIBLY
DOWN TO 973 MB -- WILL FORM AND HEAD TOWARD THE NORCAL/OREGON
COASTAL AREA BY THURSDAY. THIS SECOND LOW WILL PRODUCE A VERY
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT (UP TO 15 MB FROM SFO TO ACV) HELPING TO
INCREASE SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. AT THE SAME TIME VERY
MOIST (PW VALUES POSSIBLY IN EXCESS OF 1.50 INCHES) WILL BECOME
ENTRAINED IN THE FLOW AND TAKE DIRECT AIM ALONG THE COAST.
STEPPING BACK AND LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE JUST AT THE PW IS
IMPRESSIVE AS IT CAN BE TRACED FAR TO THE WEST OF HAWAII WITH ITS
DIRECT AIM RIGHT THROUGH OUR CWA. IN ADDITION...IT SHOWS NO SIGN
OF DISSIPATING AS IT FOLLOWS THE FRONT TO THE SOUTH. KEEP IN MIND
THAT PW VALUES THIS HIGH ARE AT THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR DECEMBER
AROUND HERE. OTHER PARAMETERS ARE JUST AS IMPRESSIVE INCLUDING
THE ISENTROPIC FLOW AN AMAZING 60 TO 80 KTS FROM THE SW. ALL
SIGNS POINT TO A BIG 1 DAY RAIN EVENT FOR OUR ENTIRE CWA.
RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THURSDAY SHOULD BE GENERALLY 1.5 TO 3 INCHES
FOR URBAN SPOTS SOUTH OF THE NORTH BAY WITH LOCALLY 4 INCHES
POSSIBLE. FOR THE NORTH BAY PLUS OTHER COASTAL RANGES 4 TO 6
INCHES ARE FORECAST WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS TO 8 INCHES. THE BIG THING
TO REMEMBER IS MUCH OF THE RAIN WILL FALL AS THE FRONT GOES
THROUGH SO RAIN RATES WILL BE VERY HIGH FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. THIS
WILL CREATE ADDITIONAL HYDRO CONCERNS.

FOR THE WINDS ALL OF THE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO REMAIN VERY
BULLISH WITH 925 MB SPEEDS 50 TO 70 KTS IN MOST LOCATIONS AS THE
FRONT GOES THROUGH. JUST GOING OFF THE RAW ARW SURFACE SPEEDS
SHOWS 30 TO 40 KT FOR MOST SPOTS. WOULD EXPECT URBAN LOCATIONS ON
THURSDAY TO SEE WINDS OF 20 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH.
HIGHER ELEVATION LOCATIONS COULD EASILY SEE GUSTS WELL OVER 70
MPH DURING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

FINALLY...WORTH NOTING THAT CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE A BIT MORE
FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. IN
ADDITION...THE VERY WARM BUOYS TEMPERATURES WILL HELP TO CREATE A
MORE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WHICH WOULD HELP WITH STORM DEVELOPMENT.
IF WE END UP GETTING A THUNDERSTORM OVER AN URBAN AREA AS THE
FRONT GOES THROUGH IT WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO A PERIOD OF EXTREMELY
HEAVY RAIN AND VERY STRONG WINDS LEADING TO ADDITIONAL HYDRO
PROBLEMS. THIS WILL NEED TO BE VERY CLOSELY WATCHED ON THURSDAY.

RAIN WILL SWITCH OVER TO SHOWERS BY THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A
SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS MORE UNSTABLE AIR
MOVES ACROSS. ALTHOUGH OVERALL RAINFALL NUMBERS WILL BE LESS WE
COULD STILL PICK UP ANOTHER HALF AND INCH TO AND INCH IN SPOTS
WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 1.5 INCHES.

DRY AND NICER WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR SATURDAY AND MOST OF SUNDAY
BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES BACK INTO OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH THIS
WILL BE A FAR CRY FROM WHAT WE WILL SEE ON THURSDAY THE MODELS
ARE DEFINITELY TRENDING WETTER WITH IT COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT. IN
FACT THE ECMWF DEPICTS A GOOD PUNCH OF RAIN FOLLOWED BY A DAY OR
TWO OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AS A SECOND LONGWAVE TROF QUICKLY
FOLLOWS BEHIND THE STORM. WITH MANY SOILS EXPECTED TO BE
SATURATED FROM THE THURSDAY STORM THIS EXTRA SHOT COULD PRODUCE
SOME HYDRO ISSUES.

ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY IMPACT OUR AREA AT THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

BOTTOM LINE...NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE BEFORE THE STORM ON
THURSDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE ONE OF THE STRONGEST THAT WE HAVE
HAD IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE MADE ASAP.

&&

AVIATION...AS OF 10:12 AM PST WEDNESDAY...THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
WITH A MIX OF MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS AT MANY TERMINALS THROUGH
THIS EVENING. THERE MAY BE A FEW PERIODS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WITH
VFR CONDITIONS...CIGS AOA 3K FT. AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
KEEP REDUCED VIS FROM BR AND HZ THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...POSS
IMPACTING VISUALS. NOW FOR THE REAL FORECAST CONCERNS. THE MUCH
ADVERTISED VERY STRONG FROPA IS STILL ON TRACK FOR LATE TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM N-S FROM ROUGHLY
6-12Z THURSDAY. FOR SF BAY...THE MAIN FROPA STILL WILL BE AFTER
15Z THURSDAY AND CLOSER TO 21-00Z FOR MONTEREY BAY. THE FROPA WILL
BRING HEAVY RAIN...VERY STRONG WINDS AND POSSIBLE TSRA.

VICINITY OF KSFO...A MIX OF MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY
TONIGHT. LINGERING HAZE MAY IMPACT VIS AT BOTH KSFO AND KOAK TODAY.
WINDS WILL LIKELY SWITCH TO MORE SE THIS AFTERNOON FOR KSFO. THE
MAIN IMPACTS FOR KSFO AND KOAK WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL EARLY
THURSDAY. SE WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTS TO 40KT WILL BE
POSSIBLE. AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING STILL IN EFFECT TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.

KSFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS... JUST LIKE UP NORTH...MIX OF MVFR TO
VFR THROUGH THIS EVENING. RELATIVELY BENIGN WEATHER THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF
THE FORECAST. THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM THE FROPA WILL LIKELY BE AFTER
18Z THURSDAY...OUTSIDE OF CURRENT TAF FORECAST.

&&

.MARINE...AS OF 09:39 AM PST WEDNESDAY...A DEVELOPING POWERFUL
STORM SYSTEM WEST OF CALIFORNIA WILL IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS
LATER TODAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. AS THE STORM IMPACTS THE
COASTAL WATERS...HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP WITH DANGEROUS
SURF...LARGE SWELL...ROUGH BAR...HEAVY RAIN...THUNDERSTORMS...AND
GALE FORCE WINDS WITH OCCASIONAL STORM FORCE GUSTS. MARINERS
VENTURING ON OPEN WATERS ON LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY ARE URGED TO
USE EXTREME CAUTION AND CHECK THE LATEST CONDITIONS BEFORE
DEPARTING. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE ON FRIDAY AS THE STORM EXITS
THE REGION.
