318 PM PDT MON MAY 12 2008
.SHORT TERM...
BRISK NORTH WINDS BEHIND COLD FRONT WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS
SURFACE GRADIENT WEAKENS. DRY AIR MASS WITH ONLY SOME THIN CIRRUS
TONIGHT WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP BRIEFLY NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING
IN THE TYPICALLY COOLER VALLEYS OF WRN NV SHORTLY BEFORE DAYBREAK.
AFTER THE CHILLY START TO TUESDAY...A SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND
WILL TAKE PLACE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG
RIDGE BUILDS OFF THE WEST COAST AND EXPANDS INLAND TO OREGON AND
NRN CA BY THURSDAY. MAX TEMPS ON TUESDAY WILL JUMP ABOUT 10
DEGREES IN COMPARISON TO TODAY AS COLD ADVECTION WILL HAVE
CEASED...THEN A MORE GRADUAL RISE OF ABOUT 5 DEGREES EACH DAY THRU
THURSDAY AS NE-E SURFACE FLOW WILL PARTIALLY OFFSET THE 500 MB
HEIGHT RISES AND INCREASES IN LOW-MID LEVEL TEMPS. MAX TEMPS BY
THURS WILL STILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH LOWER TO MID 80S IN
MOST VALLEYS. OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL CIRRUS MAINLY ON TUES
NIGHT...VERY LITTLE CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT THREE
DAYS.
NE-E RIDGE WIND GUSTS IN THE SIERRA WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN 30-40 MPH
THRU WEDNESDAY...WITH ANOTHER INCREASE TO 50-60 MPH OR MORE BY WED
NIGHT AND THURSDAY. SOME OF THESE WINDS MAY MIX DOWN TO LAKE TAHOE
BY THURS MORNING AND PRODUCE SOME CHOPPY CONDITIONS. MJD
.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
WARM CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS
CONTINUE TO PROG A STRONG RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE WEST COAST ON
FRIDAY WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH JUST OFF THE WEST COAST BY 18Z
FRIDAY. THE GFS HAS 500 MB HEIGHTS OF 593 DAM OVER NRN CALIFORNIA
BY 00Z SATURDAY. THE ECMWF IS SIMILAR WITH HEIGHTS OF 594 DAM AT
THE SAME LOCATION AND TIME.
THE RIDGE SHOULD BUILD TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY AND IT SHOULD START
TO TAKE ON A POSITIVE TILT IN RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE APPROACHING
THE PACIFIC NW. THE 12Z GFS IS LESS AGGRESSIVE IN BRINGING THIS
SYSTEM ASHORE. IT FOLLOWS THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN IN KEEPING THE
RIDGE IN PLACE AND SHUNTING THE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH. BELIEVE THAT
THIS SOLUTION IS MORE REASONABLE THAN THE EARLIER SOLUTION OF
BREAKING DOWN THE RIDGE. THIS STRONG RIDGE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
REMAIN IN PLACE AND KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR ACROSS THE REGION. A
SECOND SHORTWAVE IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST
ON MONDAY. HOWEVER THE RIDGE SHOULD STILL BE IN PLACE AND SHOULD
KEEP THE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WELL TO THE NORTH.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RECORD
HIGHS TEMPERATURES FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD ARE LISTED IN THE CLIMATE
