  2. Anticipated Flights NOAA P3 • Fri:     Northern SJV flight with G-1 comparison • Sat: NOAA Twin Otter • Fri:    Central Valley flight • Sat:   Flight likely CARES DOE G-1 and NASA B200  • Fri:      G-1 comparison with P3 in N SJV; B-200 flight • Sat:     Flights likely • Sun:    No flights, if fly Saturday

  3. Local Features Saturday • high background CO & O3 descending over SoCal • SF/Sac emissions transport to N Sac Valley (west of Cool) • Southern Sac Valley eddy Sat am centered between Davis and Fairfield  • SJV NW nocturnal jet Friday night into Saturday morning  • LA outflow to E deserts Sunday • high background CO & O3 descending over SoCal • morning NW winds clear SF emissions from Sac Valley and carry fresh Sac and SF emissions to SJV

  4. Synoptic Overview for California • Friday June 18 • Trough dominates CA weather • On-shore flow over the entire coast line • Deep marine layer along the coast • Southwesterly to westerly transport flow in the interior • Strong surface winds in most areas except Southern SJV • Saturday June 19 • Trough remains in place over CA • On-shore flow continues over the entire state • Marine layer over coast should remain deep • Gradient relaxes slightly • Transport winds continue southwesterly to westerly, weaken • Interior winds will be similar but will weaken

  5. Synoptic Overview for California (cont'd) • Sunday June 20 • Axis of the trough moves inland • Influence of trough continues, but becomes more baggy • Light winds over state in the early morning • N CA winds turn northerly in the Sac Valley as trough axis moves east • Winds along N Coast turn northwesterly • S CA winds remain southwesterly to westerly • SJV winds turn northerly • Beyond… • Baggy trough remains in place into next week • Gradients continue to relax resulting in a general weakening of the winds for all areas
