Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
134 PM PST Wed Dec 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Warmer temperatures are in the forecast Wednesday as
the airmass over the region gradually warms up. Temperatures dip
slightly on Thursday ahead of a storm system that will move into
northern California on Friday. This system will bring rain to the
region on Friday with a chance of showers lingering into Saturday.
Dry and colder weather is expected for Christmas Day, but another
storm system is possible on Monday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...as of 01:32 PM PST Wednesday...Forecast challenges
continue to revolve around the next system impacting the region
Thursday night through Saturday.

Weather during the short term will continue to be relatively quiet
with moderating temperatures. Overnight lows tonight will be
seasonable with readings in the 30s and 40s. Subtle cooling on
Thursday as a cold front approaches from the north. Highs will be
in the 50s and 60s.

The real change in the weather begins to occur Thursday night.
From the birds eye view, a cold front moves in from the north
Thursday night/Friday morning. As the front moves through Friday
it will bring moderate to locally heavy rain and gusty winds.
Additionally, snow levels will drop impacting the Santa Lucia
range. Precip transitions to showers Friday night and Saturday,
but much colder air filters in with lower snow levels.

Now for the details, after several days of timing issues latest
model guidance has better consensus with the onset of precip.
Consensus develops light precip over the North Bay late Thursday
night and then spreading it south through the day. If this timing
is correct the Friday morning commute could be impacted with
light rain. As the fropa occurs during the day rainfall
intensity increases, especially terrain favored locations. The
timing of the heavier precip appears to be 20Z Friday - 03Z
Saturday. The heavier rainfall will definitely impact the
afternoon commute. This may be a bigger headache given the
increased travel ahead of the holiday weekend. Post frontal
showers will develop Friday night and Saturday under cold
northwest flow. Precip totals from Thursday night through Saturday
will be 0.25-0.75" for most locations - coastal hills and North
Bay 0.75-1.5"...locally up to 3-4" Santa Lucias.

Winds will also increase during the day Friday and peak Friday
evening with gusts in the 30-40 mph.

Unlike most systems where we have to wait for the cold core
behind the front to lower the snow levels this system will
actually lower snow levels with the fropa. By late Friday
afternoon/evening snow levels may lower enough to allow for a
transition to all snow over the higher peaks of the Big Sur Coast.
During this time period there is still some decent precip being
generated by the models. As a result a quick few inches will be
possible. During the night Friday snow levels lower to near
2500-3500 ft everywhere so a light dusting possible over higher
peak with post frontal showers. One real interesting tid bit is
the NAM12 has 850 temps down to negative 3-4 C during the day
Saturday. If this would verify and we hang onto convective showers
people may snow mixing in under 2k ft.

One final note with the fropa - some of the model guidance
suggests instability ahead of the front off the Big Sur Coast and
the southern CWA. This is definitely a lower confidence scenario
and decided to leave tstorms out for now, but something to watch.

Dry weather is still forecast for Christmas day, but one change
was to lower temperatures. Given the cold air behind the front
temperatures will be rather chilly that morning with readings in
the 20s and 30s. Highs will remain in the 50s with the peaks in
the 30s and 40s.

Next week still remains uncertain as models still remain split.
The GFS continues to show unsettled weather with another system
dropping down the coast Monday. The EC and GEM are drier during
this time period. Leaned more toward the drier EC with a nudge of
climo given the uncertain.

&&

.AVIATION...As of 9:35 AM PST Wednesday...Light offshore flow
will lead to VFR conditions through the period. High confidence.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR through the period with light winds and
a few mid to high level clouds. High confidence.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the period with light winds
and mid to high level clouds. High confidence.

&&

.MARINE...as of 09:24 AM PST Wednesday...High pressure will keep
northwesterly winds light to moderate through thursday night. a
large long period northwesterly swell will build seas through
thursday before briefly decreasing on friday. winds will turn
southerly and become very gusty ahead of a strong cold front and
storm system on friday. this cold front will turn winds out of the
northwest and pass through the coastal waters on friday
night...significantly increasing winds and waves after
passage...lasting through the day on saturday.

&&

.BEACHES...as of 9:35 AM PST Wednesday...Long period northwesterly
swell of 17 to 19 seconds will continue into the afternoon. Beach
hazards advisory in effect through the afternoon for potential
large shore break, sneaker waves and rip currents. Conditions
forecast to improve this evening.

&&

.MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
     .Tngt...NONE.
