AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
1101 PM PST MON MAR 7 2016

...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS WILL END THIS EVENING. LIGHT RAIN IS LIKELY
ACROSS MAINLY THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM LATE
TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. MORE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS THEN
LIKELY DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK...WITH PRECIPITATION
STARTING IN THE NORTH BAY THURSDAY AND THE REST OF THE AREA BY
FRIDAY. MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 9:15 PM PST MONDAY...UPPER LEVEL LOW HAS
MOVED INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHEAST.
SHOWERS ARE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING AS DRY NORTHERLY FLOW
DEVELOPS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW. STRONG JET STRETCHES
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST OFF THE COAST AND THIS BROUGHT BREEZY
CONDITIONS TO THE AREA WITH GALE FORCE WINDS OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
TUESDAY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL RIDE OVER THE RIDGE BRINGING A
CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN FROM THE SFO BAY AREA NORTHWARD TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. LATEST NAM BRINGS THE RAIN A LITTLE
FARTHER SOUTH SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF RAIN INTO THE MRY BAY
AREA.

THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO SLIDE EASTWARD WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A
FRONTAL SYSTEM AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM APPROACHES. RAIN IS
FORECAST TO BEGIN IN THE NORTH BAY THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS A
MOISTURE TAP TO HAWAII SO RAINFALL COULD BE MODERATE TO HEAVY AT
TIMES. THE MODELS DIFFER ON THE HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM. THE
ECMWF SHOW THE ASSOCIATED LOW SLIDING NORTHEAST WHICH STALLS THE
FRONT OVER THE NORTH BAY AND THE NORTH COAST BEFORE GETTING
EJECTED RAPIDLY EASTWARD FRIDAY. THIS SCENARIO WOULD CONCENTRATE
MORE RAIN ON THE NORTH BAY WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS ELSEWHERE. THE GFS
MOVES THE LOW EAST ACROSS THE AREA SO THE FRONT WILL BE MORE
PROGRESSIVE AND THE RAIN MORE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE CWA.
WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE MODELS BEFORE
GETTING MORE SPECIFIC ON THIS SYSTEM BUT AT LEAST WE CAN LOOK FOR
WET WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN THE NORTH BAY AND FRIDAY OVER
THE REST OF THE DISTRICT.

AFTER A BREAK ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORE RAIN IS
FORECAST FOR LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AND THEN AGAIN FOR LATE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. AFTER THAT LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW A RIDGE
BUILDING OFF THE WEST COAST RESULTING IN DRY WEATHER THROUGH AT
LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 10:58 PM PST MONDAY...RIDGING RETURNS TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. N-NW WINDS ARE HELPING TO CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT.
WEAK TROUGH EMBEDDED IN THE RIDGE MOVES THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING
WITH A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE BAY AREA.

VICINITY OF KSFO...VFR. VCSH TUESDAY EVENING.

SFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY AREA TERMINALS...VFR.

&&

.BEACHES...AS OF 10:52 PM PST MONDAY...A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS
IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PST TUESDAY MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...AS OF 10:38 PM PST MONDAY...STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE LATE TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BRING STEEP
WIND DRIVEN WAVES ON TOP OF A WESTERLY SWELL. A CHANCE OF RAIN
RETURNS MID TO LATE WEEK.
