AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
515 AM PST TUE FEB 20 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS
AFTERNOON AND STALL OVER THE REGION TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL BRING
RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOWFALL TO THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS AND VERY LOW SNOW LEVELS WILL IMPACT
THE AREA THURSDAY AS A VERY COLD AIR MASS MOVES OVER THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A VERY COLD AIR MASS IS EVIDENT IN THE OVERNIGHT
SATELLITE IMAGERY NORTH OF A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDING
SOUTHWEST FROM NEAR PORTLAND OREGON TO NEAR HAWAII. SATELLITE
IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS A VORTICITY MAX NEAR 40N 146W MOVING EASTWARD
WHICH SHOULD DEVELOP A WAVE ON THE COLD FRONT.

THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM OVERNIGHT WAS THE SNOW LEVELS AND THE QPF
FOR TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THE MODELS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHERN
OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE MODELS INDICATE THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND SO THE FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO STALL OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THERE ARE STILL SOME DISPARITIES BETWEEN THE NAM
AND THE GFS ON HOW MUCH QPF WILL RESULT FROM THIS STALLED FRONT. THE
GFS IS THE WETTER MODEL. FOR THE QPF VALUES...I USED THE VALUES
FROM THE RFC. THE FRONT IS SUPPORTED BY A SOUTHWESTERLY 120 TO 130
KNOT JET WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL FURTHER ADD THE
LIFT AND DYNAMICS NEEDED TO PRODUCE PRECIPITATION.

THE SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT TODAY NEAR 4000 FEET...BUT WILL LOWER
TO NEAR 3500 FEET BY THIS EVENING IN NORTHERN DEL NORTE COUNTY. BY
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING THE SNOW LEVELS WILL HAVE FURTHER LOWERED TO
NEAR 2500 FEET IN NORTHERN DE NORTE COUNTY AND 3000 FEET IN TRINITY
COUNTY. WITH BOTH MODELS SHOWING AMPLE MOISTURE WITH THE
FRONT...HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL STARTING
WEDNESDAY AT 12Z AND ENDING THURSDAY AT 12Z FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE
ABOVE 3500 FEET. SNOWFALL OF 12 TO 18 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE DURING
THIS 24 HOUR PERIOD.

THE MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS CONSISTENT IN BRINGING THE VERY COLD AIR
MASS ASHORE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...WITH 700MB TEMPS
DROPPING TO AROUND -14 DEGREES CENTIGRADE BY THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD
SUPPORT SNOW LEVELS AROUND 1500 FEET OR LOWER...WITH ICE PELLET
SHOWERS IMPACTING THE COAST ZONES. GFS AND NAM STILL INDICATE
850-500MB LAPSE RATES AROUND 7.5C/KM AND LIFTED INDUCES NEAR 1C AS
500MB TEMPERATURES PLUMMET TO -33C ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
THUS HAVE CONTINUED SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE COASTAL
WATERS AND COASTAL LAND ZONES FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

THE SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE ON FRIDAY AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE
RIDGE MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. THEN BY SATURDAY NIGHT ZONAL FLOW RETURNS TO THE WEST COAST
AND A CHANCE FOR RAIN IS FORECAST NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE SOUTH OF THE CAPE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGS INTO THE EASTERN PACIFIC ON
MONDAY...THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO
THE THE ENTIRE CWA FOR MONDAY CONTINUING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...WARM AIR ADVECTION AND SHALLOW MOISTURE INFLOW AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...HAS BEEN PRODUCING MOSTLY CLOUDS. FEW
SHOWERS GLIDING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST HAS BEEN GENERATING OCCASIONAL
MVFR CONDITIONS AT CEC AND ACV AIRPORTS...ALONG THE NORTH COAST OF
CA. COLD FRONT WAS APPROACHING FROM THE NW EARLY THIS MORNING. FNTL
PASSAGE IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE COAST. LOW IFR AND IFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY IN MODERATE RAINFALL AFTER 20Z. SW WINDS WILL
INCREASE ALOFT IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...3000 FEET ABOVE GROUND...FOR
A BUMPY RIDE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH FROPA. COLDER AIR ALOFT AND
LOWER STABILITY SPREADS TO COAST BEHIND FRONT TONIGHT AND WED.

.MARINE...NOAA BUOYS (14 AND 22 BOTH INSIDE 20NM) HAVE BEEN
RUNNING 2-3 FEET BELOW WAVE WATCH MODEL OUTPUT. THESE 2 BUOYS
HAVE BEEN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS
CRITERIA...EVEN BASED ON THE WAVE STEEPNESS...SINCE YESTERDAY
EVENING. OFFSHORE BUOYS 2...5 AND 59 TOTAL WAVE HEIGHTS WERE
IN MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST RUN OF THE EASTERN NORTH
PACIFIC (THE ENP) REGIONAL WAVE WATCH MODEL. OFFSHORE WAVE
PERIODS FROM NOAA BUOY 2...EVEN AT 13 FT...WERE TOO LOW
(10-11 SECONDS) TO SUPPORT SWELL DECAY GREATER THAN 10 FT INTO
THE NW CA WATERS TODAY  ENP CONTINUES TO INDICATE A LONGER PERIOD
GROUP...14 TO 15 SECONDS...PASSING THE OFFSHORE BUOYS...2 AND
5...THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GFS (ENP) WINDS OFFSHORE COMPARED
WELL WITH THE OFFSHORE BUOYS. BUOY 5 WAS PROMISING...WITH WAVE
HGTS UP TO 19 FEET AS OF 10Z. CONFIDENCE WILL INCREASE FURTHER
ONCE WAVES DISPERSE AND PASS BUOY 2 THIS EVENING WITH 14-15 SECONDS.
FRONT PASSAGE TODAY SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO GENERATE LOW
END ADVISORY LEVEL SW WINDS FOR SMALL CRAFT...15-25 KTS. GFS AND NAM
DIFFER ON FNTL WAVE/SRLY COASTAL JET DEVELOPMENT ON WED. FOR NOW
HAVE BLENDED/WASHED OUT THE SOLUTIONS. BEYOND WED...NO SIGNIFICANT
WIND IN THE COASTAL WATERS IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
