AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1005 PM PST FRI FEB 23 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW TO
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA TONIGHT...AND THEN RISING SNOW LEVELS AND
MODERATE RAIN AND SNOW BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...AS SNOW LEVELS FALL ACROSS THE
FAR NW CORNER OF THE STATE. ANOTHER POTENT PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL
IMPACT THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...BEFORE A RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD
ACROSS THE EAST PACIFIC AND BRINGS A DRIER AND WARMER PATTERN TO THE
AREA.

&&

.UPDATE...00Z WW3 DATA CHANGED LITTLE. WEST SWELL EXCEEDING 20 FEET
TO ARRIVE EARLY SUNDAY ALONG THE NW CAL COAST. A LOOK AT AVAILABLE
OPEN SEA OBS INDICATES THE GFS IS IN THE BALL PARK IN VICINITY OF
FETCH REGION NR 150W EITHER SIDE OF 45N...WHERE OPEN CELL CU WERE
ALSO CLOCKED AT 50-60 KNOTS IN CAA REGIME THERE ALONG A 280 DEG
CIRLE ROUTE AIMED THIS WAY. PROXIMITY OF FETCH AREA WILL TRANSLATE
TO SHORTER PERIODS AND VERY STEEP WAVE SETS. AS A RESULT HAZ SEAS
WARNING FLAGS ARE HOISTED FOR THE COASTAL WATERS AND A HIGH SURF
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CAZ001-002 FOR SUNDAY.

COLD FRONT OVER THE PAC NW WATERS APPEARS TO BE A BIT AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE BUT THIS MAY NOT ALTER CURRENT CATAGORICAL AND LIKELY POPS
MUCH SINCE IN TIME THE BAROCLINIC ZONE BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY OVER
OUR CWA LATE SAT WITH GREAT JET SUPPORT FOR SIGNIFICANT PCPN. MULTI-
PRONGED UPPER LOW WOBBLES OVER THE PAC NW WATERS SAT-MON BEFORE
COLD POOL DIVES SE PLUMMETING SNOW LEVELS MON NIGHT AND TUE. CURERNT
FORECAST ACCOUNTS FOR THIS FEATURE AND NO CHANGES ARE REQUIRED BUT
ZFP WAS UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW HIGH SURF HEADLINE. WINTER STRM WATCH
REMAINS POSTED FOR CAZ003-004 FOR THE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY SYSTEM.

.PREV DISCUSSION...NEXT PACIFIC STORM IN OUR CURRENT SERIES
CONTINUES TO PUSH ACROSS THE NE PACIFIC AND SRN GULF OF
ALASKA...WITH A WEAK TO MODERATE TAP OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE EVIDENT
IN THE PRE-COLD FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. MAIN FEATURE OF IMPORTANCE WITH
THIS APPROACHING SYSTEM IS THE 120-130KT WESTERLY JET THAT IS
CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC AND WILL NOSE
ACROSS NW CA LATE SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL
RISE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY. ONCE THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH MODELS INDICATE SNOW LEVELS
WILL FALL TO CLOSE TO ABOUT 2000 FEET OVER FAR NW CA SATURDAY
NIGHT...AS A SECONDARY TROUGH ROTATES TOWARDS THE AREA AND THE
WESTERLY JET NOSES IN. GFS INDICATES THIS WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED
BY A WEST-EAST FETCH OF MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
AROUND 0.75 INCHES. SO DESPITE THE FACT THAT POST FRONTAL SHOWERS
TYPICALLLY DO NOT DELIVER MORE THAN A FEW INCHES OF SNOW TO NW
CA...THIS PARTICULAR SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES SEEMS TO WARRANT A WATCH
FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY SNOW ABOVE 2000-2500 FEET ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AERA.

IT STILL LOOKS AS IF THE JET CORE WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH LATE
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BUT LOWER LEVEL TEMPS WILL REMAIN QUITE COLD
AHEAD OF THE NEXT APPROACHING WARM FRONT. AS THE OFFSHORE SYSTEM
DIGS SOUTH SOMEWHAT AND SOUTHERLY FLOW PICKS UP AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...EXPECT LOWER AND MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL
RECOVER. WITH ANOTHER MOISTURE TAP OF PRECIPTABLE WATER VALUES NEAR
AN INCH AND A POTENTIALLY SLOW MOVING OR STALLING COLD FRONT...THIS
COULD BE ANOTHER QUITE WET SYSTEM...THOUGH NOT LIKELY AS WET AS WE
SAW ON WEDNESDAY. BY TUESDAY COLDER AND DRIER AIR WILL PUSH SOUTH
OVER THE AREA. AND THIS SYSTEM LOOKS ABOUT AS COLD AS THE SYSTEM WE
JUST FINISHED WITH THIS MORNING...WITH THE GFS BRINGING 700MB TEMPS
ONCE AGAIN DOWN TO -16 DEG CENTIGRADE OVER MUCH OF NW CALIFORNIA.

SO THOUGH SOME DETAILS REMAIN TO BE IRONED OUT...THE GENERALLY WET
AND COLD PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY OF NEXT
WEEK. AFTER THAT NUMERICAL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THE PATTERN
ABATING...IF NOT CHANGING ALTOGETHER...BY NEXT THURSDAY. MODEL
CONSENSUS IS FOR A RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS THE NE PACIFIC. THIS
SHOULD HELP PUSH THE NEXT SERIES OF SYSTEMS ASHORE NORTH OF THE
AREA...AND LEAVE MUCH IF NOT ALL OF NW CALIFORNIA DRY.
