NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
830 PM PDT TUE JUN 24 2003

CURRENT FORECASTS APPEAR TO BE FINE. PT ST GEORGE BUOY...46027...IS
REPORTING WINDS OF 32 KNOTS GUSTING TO 40. LOOKS TO BE VERY

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

PHOTOS FROM SPACE SHOW COPIOUS SUNSHINE BEAMING ACROSS THE CWA
THIS AFTERNOON. A LARGE AREA OF CLEAR SKY EXTENDED FROM SEVERAL
HUNDRED MILES OFFSHORE OF CALIFORNIA INTO WESTERN NEVADA. VAPOR
LOOPS DEPICT A WELL DEFINED LONGWAVE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM
NEAR 30N 130W NNE TO THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST SHIFTING SLOWLY
EAST. SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT RISES POISED TO BUILD OVER THE REGION WILL
SERVE UP A RAPID RETURN TO SUMMER HEAT OVER THE INTERIOR OF STATE
AS EXPANSIVE RIDGING MUSCLES FROM THE WEST. EVEN ALONG THE COAST
SOME WARMING WILL BECOME EVIDENT AS LOW LEVEL OFFSHORE WIND
TRAJECTORIES TRANSPORT WARMER AND DRIER AIR FROM THE INTERIOR
ONTO THE BEACHES AND NEAR SHORE WATERS. THIS LIKELY TO RESULT IN
FOG AND STRATUS OFFSHORE THAT MAY SLOSH BACK INLAND WHEN WINDS
RESUME AN ONSHORE COMPONENT. THINKING IS THAT THIS WILL OCCUR
SOMETIME THU AND INCLUDED MENTION IN ZFP WITH PACTHY FOG AND
DRIZZLE FROM LATE THU INTO FRIDAY. OTHERWISE WARM AND DRY REGIME
PERSISTS INLAND AS RIDGE HANGS ON THROUGH THE EARLY WEEKEND. LONG
RANGE PLOTS SHOW FLATTENING AND WEAKENING OF THE RIDGE BY SUNDAY AS
ENERGY PLOWS INTO SW CANADA. THIS REFLECTED IN A COOLING TREND FOR
DAYS 5 THRU 7 BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO BRING ANY RAIN MAKER INTO
THE XTND FCST AT THIS JUNCTURE.

ALL POPS ZERO.
