  1. CalNex Forecast Prepared  Saturday26 June 2010

  2. Anticipated Flights NOAA Twin Otter Sat:    two flights? Sun:   two flights? Mon:  potentially one flight?  Tue:   transit to LA Wed:  Mexico flight CARES DOE G-1 and NASA B200 Sat:     No G-1 but B-200 flight possible Sun:    AM/PM flights likely Mon:   AM/PM flights likely

  3. Local Features - Sac area focus Saturday - projected light W flow from Sacramento area into foothills and turning south; Sac transport toward T0 but moves south of T1; moderate air quality.   Sunday - synoptic flow weakens significantly, terrain driven flow with light W delta inflow coupled with upslope flow; pollutant concentrations build (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups forecast); weak flow from Sac to T0 (with long transport time) and flow south of T1; winds <5 kts. Monday - ridge lingering longer than forecast previously; onshore flow develops late, terrain driven flow with light W delta inflow coupled with upslope flow; light winds, Sac air flows south of T1; USG air quality may remain.

  4. Synoptic Overview Saturday June 26 • Trough now over NV as High Pressure builds over the west • Transport flow turns Northerly • Synoptic gradients weaken Sunday June 27 • High Pressure peaks • Light and variable flow • Onshore gradient weakens Monday June 28 • High Pressure breaks down as Trof approaches • Transport flow SW north, Southerly south • Marine layer deepens in the north • Light and variable flow S.CA Tue – Thurs • Tue:   Deep Trof approaches, SW flow throughout • Wed:  Trof axis over N.CA late aftn-eve, SW flow, deeper marine layer • Thurs: Trof axis over Ca, W-NW flow in N.CA, W-SW in S.CA
