AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
400 PM PST TUE NOV 29 2005

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND
TUESDAY.  ANOTHER STORM WILL BRING WIND AND RAIN ALONG WITH MOUNTAIN
SNOWS TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.  A
SERIES OF COLD FRONTS WILL BRING COOLER WEATHER AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS FRO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS DIED DOWN OVER MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA.  CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS SHOULD MAINLY DISSIPATE
AFTER SUNSET...BUT THE EXTENSION OF THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH/UPPER LOW
MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL TRIGGER SOME SHOWERS
OVERNIGHT IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.  RIDGING IS
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH SOME PARTIAL CLEARING AND DRY CONDITIONS
DURING THE DAY.

THE VERY MOIST CIRCULATION...NOW SHOWING UP ON SATELLITE AT ABOUT
33N 148W...IS FORECAST TO BRING STRONG WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC
LIFT WITH HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO THE FORECAST AREA BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING.  THE STORM IS QUITE WARM BUT INITIALLY THE
UPPER TRINITY RIVER REGION WILL BE QUITE COLD.  VALLEYS SHOULD
RADIATE TONIGHT AND THE COLD AIR WILL LIKELY REMAINED TRAPPED.  A
SIMILAR SCENARIO IS IN STORE FOR EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING...BEFORE
THE PRECIPITATION SPREADS INTO TRINITY COUNTY.  A WINTER STORM WATCH
HAS BEEN POSTED FOR LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY ABOVE 3500
FEET...BUT DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE TRAPPED AIR...THE SNOW
LEVELS COULD BE LOWER.

THE MODELS ARE AGAIN FORECASTING A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW OFF THE
OREGON/CALIFORNIA COAST WITH A STRONG WIND POTENTIAL.  THE
DIFFERENCE FROM MONDAYS STORM IS THE WIND POTENTIAL IN THE INTERIOR
WHICH MAY MIX OUT THE AIR IN THE VALLEYS...HOWEVER THE FORECAST
STRONG EAST WINDS...MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SNOW POTENTIAL WITH
UPSLOPE FLOW.

LONGER TERM...THE MODELS AMPLIFY THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC
AND DRIVE A DEEP TROUGH INTO THE WESTERN U.S.  WAVES ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE WARM ADVECTION PACIFIC MOISTURE
INTO THE REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
