AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
326 PM PST TUE DEC 12 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
TONIGHT AND BRING BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS AND RAIN TO THE REGION. A
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF
SYSTEMS THAT WILL MAINTAIN A WET WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BRING COOLER WEATHER TO THE
AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE WILL BRING A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE REGION
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AND A COLD FRONT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
LIFT...AVAILABLE MOISTURE...AND INSTABILITY ARE ALL EVIDENT WITH
THESE FRONTAL PASSAGES AND SUPPORTS A MODERATE RAIN EVENT. QPF
TOTALS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES NORTH OF THE EEL RIVER BASIN...AND 0.5 TO 1
IN SOUTH OF THE EEL ARE EXPECTED. RIVERS WILL RISE WITH THE ADDED
RAINFALL BUT STAY WELL BELOW FLOOD STAGE. THE SMITH RIVER AT
CRESCENT CITY AND FORT DICK MAY REACH MONITOR STAGE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. TIGHTENING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AS THE WARM FRONT
APPROACHES LAND TONIGHT WILL STRENGTHEN SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER THE
AREA ESPECIALLY OVER THE WATERS AND ALONG THE NORTH COAST. THE WINDS
HOWEVER ARE EXPECTED TO STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THE NEXT SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON
THURSDAY. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
AND THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE SMITH AND KLAMATH RIVERS
ARE EXPECTED TO EXCEED MONITOR STAGE THURSDAY NIGHT. THE RIVER
LEVELS OF THESE RIVERS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CAREFULLY WITH THIS
SYSTEM. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 5000 FEET UNTIL
THURSDAY NIGHT WHERE IT LOWERS TO 2500 FT. SCATTERED POST FRONTAL
SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT BUT NO WINTER ADVISORIES
ARE EXPECTED.

YET ANOTHER ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY FOLLOWED
BY A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL SUSTAIN COOL CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EXPECT MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WITH SNOW LEVELS
NEAR 2000 FT THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR A BREAK IN RAINFALL IS MONDAY AS MODEL
GUIDANCE BUILDS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE NORTHWEST. THIS BREAK
LOOKS HOWEVER TO BE BRIEF AS LONG RANGE MODELS BRING ANOTHER SYSTEM
TOWARDS THE REGION TUESDAY. TH

&&

.AVIATION...APPROACHING WARM FRONT WILL FORCE AND INCREASE IN S
WINDS AT THE LOWER LEVELS THIS EVENING...AS MID LEVEL CLOUDS THICKEN
AND RAIN BECOMES WIDESPREAD. CURRENTLY VFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL
DETERIORATE BY MID EVENING TO MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AS THE RAINFALL
INCREASES THIS EVENING. LITTLE IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED IN CIGS/VSBYS
WEDNESDAY AS LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL CONTINUES AND WINDS
DECREASE. TJADEN
