.A long period swell of 18 to 20 seconds arrives early Thursday
morning with swell heights over 12 feet from coastal Sonoma
County to coastal Monterey County. The swell arrives over the
northern waters early Thursday morning, moving southward
impacting area beaches through Thursday evening into Friday
morning, resulting in a high risk of sneaker waves and strong rip
currents. Swell periods will diminish slightly to 15 to
17 seconds on Friday, but the risk for sneaker waves and rip
currents will persist. Additionally during this time period, the
high energy of this swell may result in larger breaking waves in
the surf zone from 14 to 18 feet. Swell heights and periods are
expected to diminish below risk threshold Friday overnight into
Saturday.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
251 PM PDT Tue Apr 19 2022

.SYNOPSIS...A storm system moved through the area from late
yesterday through midday today but has now dissipated. The next
storm system will impact the area from Wednesday through early
Friday, with peak intensity late Wednesday through Thursday.
Drier, milder conditions this weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...as of 02:50 PM PDT Tuesday...Another late season
storm system arrived in the region late yesterday and brought
light to locally moderate rain through midday today. Areas that
received the highest rainfall totals (generally to around 2/3")
were the coastal slopes such as Mt Tamalpais (highest overall at
1.22"). Valley locations ranged from little to nothing across
southern and eastern interior to around 0.35" near places such as
Napa, Cloverdale, Richmond, and Mill Valley.

The surface cold front gradually dissipated through the mid to
late morning upon reaching the Santa Cruz mountains and East Bay
hills, leaving the Central Coast generally dry. Infrared and water
vapor imagery show activity associated with the remnants of the
surface cold front now over the San Joaquin valley and portions of
the Central Sierra Nevada. Closer to home, KMUX radar indicates a
few weak post frontal showers briefly flaring up across interior
portions of Santa Clara, Monterey, and San Benito counties. Only a
few sprinkles at best should be expected by these weak ephemeral
showers.

The rest of the day will see the core of the upper low shift
inland across extreme northwest California (ie near WFO Eureka)
with a few stray showers dropping into northern Sonoma/Napa
counties this afternoon to evening. Otherwise, expect partly to
mostly cloud skies the rest of the day with temperatures in the
60s.

Then, the storm door stays propped open through the remainder of
the work week for the fourth rain producing system in the span of
11-12 days (and potentially the strongest of the four).

The next storm system is anticipated to impact the area as early
as tomorrow morning, peak in intensity Wednesday night through
Thursday and finally tapering off through Friday morning. High
clouds ahead of this system are expected to move in as early as
this evening.

Descending from the Gulf of Alaska as a 520dm 500mb upper low, the
storm system will tap into a roughly 1.0" precipitable water
moisture tap that will transition southward along the coast
through the tail end of the work week. Initial light rain in the
storms warm sector will begin as early as sunrise tomorrow
(Wednesday) across coastal Sonoma then gradually increase in
intensity and coverage to include all of the North Bay through the
morning as the cold front approaches from the northwest. The
system will sluggish slide down the northern coast through the day

Locations in the Bay Area to the south of the Golden Gate could
begin to receive light steady rainfall by the afternoon tomorrow,
but rain coverage and intensity should reach its maximum for the
urban centers between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning as
the surface cold front nears and passes. As such, Thursday morning
commute will be a slog for many so plan accordingly if travelling
on Thursday. Up to this point, predominately steady stratiform
precipitation will have fallen, especially along the windward
coastal slopes.

Steady stratiform precipitation will transition into hit or miss
convective showers by Thursday afternoon in the wake of the cold
front. At this time, scattered showers are expected with the
potential for a few isolated thunderstorms. These convective
showers will weaken in coverage and intensity overnight Thursday
but not completely dissipate until later Friday morning as the
core of the upper low begins to exit the region.

Given that these are spring showers, expect sufficient insolation/
surface heating to kick off at least moderate intensity showers/
thunderstorms that are capable of producing brief heavy downpours,
copious amounts of small hail, and/or a few lightning strikes.
Brief heavy downpours and copious amounts of small hail are both
roadway hazards so expect a messy commute Thursday afternoon as
well. If you must travel, give yourself extra time to reach your
destination, give plenty of space between vehicles, and be aware
of your surroundings, especially if there is hail on the roadway
or visibility is poor.

Overall, rain totals from this storm system will be similar to a
"run of the mill" mid-winter storm system, except that it is now
spring, so it is stronger than a typical system for this time of
the year. One key difference, again, will be that increased
 heating will lead to greater instability and more
coverage/intense showers late Thursday. Generally, rain from this
storm system will be beneficial to the region however we will need
to watch for signals of NCFR/ stronger convective cells near the
vicinity of recent burn scars. Short term guidance indicates there
is the potential for peak 1 hour rain rates in excess of .3 to
.4" on Thursday which could bring localized issues and something
we will need to evaluate in more detail over the next 24 hours.

Interestingly enough, more rain may fall in the tail end of the
rainy season (Apr 11-Apr 22) than fell from the start of the
calendar year to this point (Jan 01-Apr10). La Nina years often do
feature a mid-winter dry spell but this is quite notable.

Drier, milder conditions expected after the storm exits the region
into the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...as of 10:50 AM PDT Tuesday...For the 18Z TAFs. The
front is currently passing through the southern portion of our
cwa, so VCSH exiting KMRY and KSNS. For the sites north of the
front, VFR prevails as the FROPA has brought a drier airmass,
scattering out cigs. VFR will prevail for the day but cloudy skies
around 10000 to 20000 feet stick around. Winds will be breezy and
out of the west Tuesday afternoon. Forecast calls for a return of
widespread MVFR with local IFR conditions late Tuesday into
Wednesday morning as winds return to the south and increase.
Another front will approach the Bay Area Wednesday evening. For
this taf package, rain chances are beyond the taf period but stay
tuned for updates.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR with low clouds clearing. Mid to high
level clouds will stick around for the remainder of the taf
period. W/NW winds will be breezy with winds around 15 kts. Winds
diminish slightly Tuesday night, but return to the south,
increase Wednesday morning. Low level clouds developing overnight
into Wednesday morning, bringing back MVFR cigs. Chance for rain
returns Wednesday evening, so stay tuned for upcoming taf packages
to see this included on the TAF, as it is currently beyond the
period.

KSFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay...VFR/MVFR with VCSH in the area. Winds will be
onshore in the afternoon, diminishing at night. MVFR cigs return
tonight with the potential for IFR cigs developing early
Wednesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...as of 2:42 AM PDT Tuesday...Generally calm westerly
winds persist in the post-frontal environment with seas around 5
to 7 feet at 10 to 13 seconds. Southerly winds return on Wednesday
and will be breezy especially in the northern waters. The next
chance for rain and potential thunderstorms occurs Thursday along
with a long period NW swell arriving Thursday, leading to
potentially hazardous seas with wave heights up to 15 feet in the
outer waters. Near harbor entrances and the surf zone could also
be hazardous Thursday and Friday as a result of the incoming
swell.
