The strength of the upper level disturbance determines the amount of lift/ vertical motions A prolonged west or southwest flow is needed for heavy precipitation in the northern end of the Central Valley Temperatures do not vary much under mostly cloudy skies day and night. Winds are usually light, unless it is from the south or mixing down from aloft. MOS is very good in timing fronts coming into northern California. Lessons Learned - Redding

Frontogenesis is a strength of the mesoscale models and its stratiform precipitation amounts are credible. Fog and low clouds in an upslope flow (such as BGM) are common when rain-cooled air is not stirred during the day. PVA is a good lifting mechanism over a front boundary. Lessons Learned - Binghamton
