AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HANFORD CA 815 PM PST THU NOV 3 2005 .SHORT TERM...FOR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INTERIOR...CONDITIONS REMAIN DRY THUS FAR WITH SACRAMENTO RADAR SHOWING THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION STILL NORTH OF STOCKTON. OVER THE BAY AREA, SOME SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT OF ECHOES IS NOTED, HOWEVER I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF ANY PRECIPITATION WILL CLIP THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. A RATHER ABRUPT LINE BETWEEN CLOUDY AND CLEAR EXISTS THIS EVENING WITH AREAS SOUTH OF MERCED SEEING LOTS OF STARS. FOG LOOP SHOWS ONE AREA OF STRATUS HAS FORMED OVER THE FOOTHILLS IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS AREA SHOULD EXPAND DOWN THE FOOTHILLS AND MAY COVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY OVERNIGHT. EVEN THOUGH I DONT THINK ANY PRECIPITATION WILL FALL IN THE SJV TONIGHT, I WILL LEAVE OUT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG THE INTERFACE WITH THE SACRAMENTO FORECAST AREA. MODELS OVER THE WEEKEND KEEP THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, HOWEVER THEY PROJECT RISING HEIGHTS OVER CALIFORNIA WITH THE STORM TRACK SHIFTING SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH SOME SLIGHT WARMING OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND MORE PRONOUNCED WARMING IN THE SIERRA. HAVE UPDATED THE HIGH TEMPERATURE GRIDS BASED ON TODAYS OBSERVED READINGS AND TRENDED THE FORECAST USING THE NAM 12 MODEL. NO OTHER UPDATES. .LONG TERM...FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...BUT ALL ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THERE IS A TROF APPROACHING THE WEST COAST. THE GFS IS THE STRONGEST AND MOST PROGRESSIVE WITH THE TROF...BRINGING IT INLAND MONDAY. THE UKMET SHOWS A SLIGHTLY WEAKER TROF...AND THE ECMWF IS SLOWER. NCEP FAVORING THE ECMWF SOLUTION...SO AM HESITANT TO JUMP ON THE HIGHER POPS OF THE GFS JUST YET. WILL GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...HOLDING ON TO 10 PERCENT POPS TUESDAY AND HAVE INCREASED CLOUDS A BIT MORE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD COOL SEVERAL DEGREES MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER. THE CWFA WILL REMAIN IN A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FOR DRY WEATHER AND A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY. CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN THE SIERRA NORTH OF KINGS CANYON MAY OBSCURE TERRAIN TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
