AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
448 AM PDT TUE APR 5 2016

.SYNOPSIS...MUCH WARMER TODAY UNDER BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AND
OFFSHORE FLOW. WEDNESDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE THE HOTTEST DAY THIS
WEEK WITH RECORD OR NEAR RECORD WARMTH. THE HOT WEATHER WILL END
ABRUPTLY ON THURSDAY AS LOW CLOUDS AND FOG RETURN TO THE COAST
ALONG WITH ONSHORE BREEZES. CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH.
UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 3:11 AM PDT TUESDAY...LOOKS LIKE THE COAST IS
CLEAR WITH 8 MB NORTHERLY GRADIENT DOWN THE COAST PRODUCING GALE
FORCE WINDS OVER THE OCEAN AND NO LOW CLOUDS TO SPEAK OF. FORT ORD
PROFILER SHOWS WARMING ALOFT AND THIS IS CONFIRMED WITH 50 DEGREES
CURRENTLY REPORTED AT 5000 FEET IN BLUE CANYON AND UP ON CHEWS
RIDGE IN MONTEREY COUNTY. FAVORABLE NORTHEAST WIND PATTERN IN THE
HILLS WILL ALLOW THE WARM AIR ALOFT TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE
RESULTING IN A NOTED WARMING TREND WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WELL INTO
THE 70S AND MID 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY UNDER SUNNY
SKIES.

AS DISCUSSED FOR DAYS NOW WEDS LOOKS TO BE THE PEAK OF THE HEAT
WITH MILD OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE HILLS LEADING TO ANOTHER HOT DAY
ON WEDS. IN FACT RECORDS STILL LOOKS POSSIBLE WITH AFTERNOON
READINGS POKING INTO THE UPPER 80S AND 90S. MUCH LIKE OUR FALL
OFFSHORE WIND EVENTS THERE WONT BE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE FROM THE
INLAND AREAS TO THE COAST...IN FACT UNDER THE PURE EASTERLY FLOW
SOME PLACES ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST COULD BE THE HOTTEST AREAS
IN THE DISTRICT. FOR EXAMPLE EAST WINDS COMING OFF THE SANTA
LUCIAS COULD BRING LOCALIZED READINGS INTO THE MID 90S ALONG THE
BIG SUR COAST BY LUNCH TIME WEDS. THE ABRUPT CHANGE TO HOT WEATHER
WILL IMPACT THOSE SENSITIVE TO THE HEAT SUCH AS THE ELDERLY AND
VERY YOUNG AS WELL AS THOSE WORKING OUTDOORS.

THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS EVENT IS HOW QUICKLY IT WILL BOTH
ARRIVE AND END. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT WE SEE A SOUTHERLY SURGE OF
STRATUS RACE UP THE COAST FROM POINT CONCEPTION TO THE GOLDEN
GATE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. AS THIS OCCURS THE OCEAN WILL BECOME
SHROUDED IN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. THIS ALONG WITH A SOUTHERLY WIND
FLOW WILL BRING COOL MARINE AIR BACK INTO THE COASTAL VALLEYS
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AND ALLOW FOR AS MUCH AS 15-20 DEGREES OF
COOLING FROM WEDS TO THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

NEXT ITEM TO MONITOR WILL BE SHOWER CHANCES. PRETTY GOOD MODEL
CONSENSUS FOR SHOWERS OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SPREADING NORTHWARD
INTO MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. CANT RULE OUT T-STORMS BUT LATEST SPC LIGHTNING
PROGS ARE NEGLIGIBLE SO WONT SHOW ANY T-STORM CHANCES AT THIS
TIME. SEASONABLY COOL WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON AND OFF FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY AS WEAK PIECES OF ENERGY ROTATE AROUND UPPER LOW.
BEST CHANCES OF RAIN LOOK TO STAY SOUTH OF THE GOLDEN GATE WITH
QPF NUMBERS LOOKING LIGHT AND SPOTTY GIVEN CONVECTIVE NATURE.

WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY BUT GENERAL IDEA LOOKS
LIKE DRY AND SEASONABLE LATER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. LONG RANGE PROGS
KEEP PATTERN SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED FOR APRIL WITH POSSIBLE WEAK
TROUGHS BRINGING LIGHT RAIN AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPS LATER NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 4:39 AM PDT TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING IN
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IS HELPING TO SET UP A WEAK NE FLOW
ALOFT THIS MORNING. EAST BAY HILLS ARE QUITE BREEZY THIS MORNING
BUT HAVE YET TO TRANSLATE TO THE SURFACE. WITH SUNRISE THERE IS A
CHANCE OF SOME GUSTY EAST WINDS AT OAK, BUT THESE SHOULD BE SHORT
LIVED AND COME WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. ALL OTHER AIRPORTS WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE A LIGHT MORNING OFFSHORE WIND, WHICH WILL BACK AND
INCREASE TO THE NW-N BY LATE MORNING. WINDS WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS OFFSHORE IS EXPECTED TO PEAK
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD BRING GUSTY EAST WINDS TO MOST
BAY AREA AIRPORTS. CIGS WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE TODAY AS VFR IS
EXPECTED UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.

VICINITY OF KSFO...VFR WITH LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS IN THE MORNING
BECOMING NW-N BY AFTERNOON.

SFO BRIDGE APPROACH...SIMILAR TO KSFO.

MONTEREY BAY TERMINALS...VFR.

.MARINE...AS OF 04:38 AM PDT TUESDAY...STRONG TO GALE FORCE
CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS EASES. HIGH PRESSURE
NOSING OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND LOW PRESSURE OFFSHORE OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL CAUSE OFFSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP LATE TODAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL HELP TO LIMIT LOCAL WAVE DEVELOPMENT.
LOW PRESSURE WILL SLIDE BY TO THE SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEK BRINGING
A PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY WINDS. LIMITED SWELL IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
FORECAST TIME.
