AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
325 PM PDT SAT AUG 23 2008

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING FAIR AND WARM
CONDITIONS INLAND THROUGH SUNDAY WITH OVERNIGHT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
PERSISTING AT THE COAST.  AN UPPER TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE WEST
COAST MONDAY AND BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES INLAND ALONG WITH A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AT THE REDWOOD COAST AND NORTHERN INTERIOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...VISIBLE IMAGERY INDICATING A
VERY SLOW BURN OFF ALONG THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON. STILL
ANTICIPATING SOME CLEARING THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS BUT
WILL LIKELY BE SHORT LIVED. IR IMAGERY DEPICTING SOME HIGH LEVEL
CIRRUS IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH AND FRONTAL SYSTEM.
FORECAST MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF FRONTAL PASSAGE
(SUN NIGHT). THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT POSESS THE GOOD SOUTHERLY WAA
THAT LAST WEEKS RAIN PRODUCER EXHIBITED HOWEVER PWAT VALUES
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ARE STILL SOMEWHAT IMPRESSIVE THUS
CANNOT RULE OUT MODEL QPF ESTIMATES...LESS THAN A TENTH SEEMS
REASONABLE ALONG THE COAST AND COASTAL AREAS...WHILE THE MAIN
FOCUS REMAINS OVER DEL NORTE COUNTY. NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE
FRONT SHOULD PROVIDE RAPID CLEARING FOR THE COASTAL AREAS BUT WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER THE INTERIOR MONDAY..SHOULD SEE SOME
AFTERNOON CU DEVELOPMENT WITH LITTLE LIKELIHOOD OF ANY SHOWERS. A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ALOFT OVER THE WESTERN STATES
BEGINNING TUESDAY...HOWEVER INLAND TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONLY RISE A
FEW DEGREES ON TUESDAY AS THE AREA STILL RESIDES IN THE WAKE OF
THE TROUGH...WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT WARMING EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE DAYS.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE SYNOPTIC MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. DURING THIS PERIOD A STRONG
UPPER RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND WILL EXTEND INTO
CALIFORNIA AND THE SOUTHWESTERN US. 500MB HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
NEAR 590DM OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WITH THE STRONG RIDGE EXPECT
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE INTERIOR. MANY LOCATIONS WILL
OBSERVE HIGHS IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS. THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO PEAK ON THURSDAY. AN OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THROUGH THURSDAY. ALONG THE
COAST...A THERMAL TROUGH WILL DEVELOP. THUS THE COAST CAN EXPECT
GUSTY AFTERNOON WINDS. WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW...THE COAST SHOULD
HAVE MORE HOURS OF SUN AS THE MORNING STRATUS WILL REMAIN ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST AND WILL DISSIPATE BY LATE MORNING. THE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
MOVES FURTHER INLAND AS AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE WEST COAST.
KENNEDY

&&

.AVIATION...ANOTHER DAY OF IFR CIGS IN STRATUS LINGERING ALONG THE
COAST THIS AFTERNOON WITH LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY. SOME LOCAL EDDIES HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND
COASTAL HEADLANDS WHICH WILL HELP PRODUCE TRANSIENT SCATTERED
CONDITIONS AT TAF SITES THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. STRATUS WILL
PUSH BACK IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH ANOTHER NIGHT OF LIFR
CIGS/VSBYS. SKIES REMAIN VFR FOR INLAND LOCATIONS WITH A PASSING
HIGH CLOUD AND LOCAL SHALLOW VALLEY FOG DEVELOPING TOWARDS SUNRISE.
ALM

&&

.MARINE...THE MAIN MARINE CONCERN FOR THE NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE
POSSIBILITY OF GALE FORCE CONDITIONS LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. 12Z MODEL RUNS ALL CONTINUE TO SHOW
A FAIR TIGHT GRADIENT DEVELOPING OVER THE WATERS AS THE THERMAL LOW
SHIFTS SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO THE COAST WITH A STRONG HIGH OVER THE
EASTERN PACIFIC. HAVE CONTINUED TO INDICATE SUSTAINED GALES IN THAT
TIME PERIOD FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS. FOR THE MOMENT...DO NOT HAVE
GALES WITHIN 10 NM DUE TO THE TYPE OF PATTERN SETTING UP...BUT IT IS
LIKELY THAT AREAS OF THE ZONE NEAR 10 NM WILL SEE SOME GALE FORCE
GUSTS IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT. ALM

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
