AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
945 AM PST SUN JAN 1 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM INTENSIFYING OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC THIS MORNING WILL PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
REGION TODAY. A SECONDARY IMPULSE WILL BRING SHOWERS TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRIEFLY BUILD INTO THE REGION...BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVES
INTO THE AREA LATE TUESDAY. AFTER A BREAK ON WEDNESDAY...A NEW STORM
IS EXPECTED LATE ON THURSDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...QUICK ZONE UPDATE THIS MORN TO EXTEND THE FLOOD WARNING
FOR THE NAVARRO RIVER AT NAVARRO THROUGH TODAY. 88D PROFILER/VELOCITY
DATA SUGGEST THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE BASICALLY A DONE DEAL AS SPEEDS
HAVE BEEN TRENDING DOWN THE LAST HOUR OR TWO ALONG THE COAST AND
OFFSHORE BUOYS HAVE REPORTED STRONG PRESSURE RISES. WIND HEADLINES
ARE SET TO EXPIRE AT NOON AND WILL PROBABLY BE CANCELLED A LITTLE
EARLIER.  ADDITIONALLY...QPF FROM THIS SYSTEM...SO FAR...HAS BEEN
LESS THAN EXPECTED AS MAIN RAIN SHIELD SHIFTS EAST. WE WILL STILL
DEVELOP CONSIDERABLE SHOWER ACTIVITY OWING TO THE COLD AND UNSTABLE
AIR ALOFT...BUT AM STARTING TO QUESTION THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR
THE UPPER TRINITY RIVER AS WINDS AND QPF WILL BE LESS. WILL EVALUATE
ALL OF THIS WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.  BURGER

.DISCUSSION...STORM SYSTEM MOVING ONTO THE COAST RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN
INTENSIFYING OVER THE OCEAN THIS MORNING FASTER AND DEEPER THAN
MODEL GUIDANCE HAS DEPICTED. VERY IMPRESSIVE WINDS ON BUOYS THIS
MORNING HAVE SHOWN CLEAR STORM FORCE CONDITIONS OVER THE NORTHERN
WATERS...WITH SOLID GALES DOWN SOUTH. SPENT MOST OF THE NIGHT
RAMPING UP PRODUCTS FOR INCOMING RAIN BAND AS MODEL GUIDANCE HAS
SHOWN A CLEAR TREND UPWARD FOR WINDS AND ASSOCIATED ISSUES. SPECIAL
MARINE WARNING NOW IN EFFECT OVER PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL
WATERS...AS RADAR IMAGERY CLEARLY INDICATES ROTATING CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS OUT THERE. EXPECT THIS BAND WILL PUSH ONTO THE
COAST THIS MORNING...WITH POSSIBLE IMPACTS SIMILAR TO YESTERDAYS 1
TO 2 HOUR MAELSTROM. PLEASE SEE PLETHORA OF PRODUCTS FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.

A FEW QUICK ITEMS TO ADD IS THAT A GFS/ECMWF BLEND WAS FOLLOWED FOR
THE PACKAGE. SNOW LEVELS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THIS MORNING DUE TO
PROBLEMS WITH MESOWEST DATA...BUT EXPECTATIONS ARE THEY ARE LOWER
THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST ANTICIPATED...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN TRINITY
COUNTY...WHERE PREFRONTAL EAST WINDS AND COLD AIR IN WAKE OF
YESTERDAYS SYSTEM IS LINGERING AND COOLING DUE TO EVAPORATION
EFFECTS WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING. EXTENDED FORECAST NOT CLEAR CUT AS
MODELS ARE ATTEMPTING TO RAMP UP A RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR
WEST...WHILE WEST TO EAST JET CONTINUES TO SEND WAVES OF
PRECIPITATION AT THE WEST COAST.  LUTZ

.AVIATION...SEE TAFS AND TWEBS FOR DETAILS AND LATEST UPDATES.

&&

.MARINE...A RARE STORM WARNING WAS ISSUED YESTERDAY FOR THE
NORTHERN WATERS IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER STRONG LOW (970MB) WHICH IS
CURRENTLY CENTERED OFF THE CENTRAL COAST OF OREGON. THE ASSOCIATED
FRONT IS MOVING ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING. AS OF 6AM
BUOY 22 WAS REPORTING 42G56KTS. A SMW WAS ISSUED AROUND 5 AM AS A
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ENTERED THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS.  THIS WAS
ISSUED MAINLY FOR EXTREMELY STRONG WINDS EXPECTED. THE
INFLOW/OUTFLOW WOULD ENHANCE ALREADY STRONG SUSTAINED WINDS BEING
OBSERVED BY THE NEAR SHORE BUOYS ALONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
