AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
438 AM PDT THU AUG 28 2008

.SYNOPSIS...HOT AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE WEST COAST.
LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE MORNING WILL MEAN ANOTHER DAY OF MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES AND WARM TEMPS FOR THE COAST. SLIGHT COOLING IS
LIKELY THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER TROUGH DIPS INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST ALONG WITH THE RETURN OF STRATUS TO THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...HOT WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WITH
ANOTHER DAY OF WARM AND SUNNY CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT THE COAST.
MANY INTERIOR MENDOCINO VALLEYS WILL BE FLIRTING WITH RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES AFTER A COOL START IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S THIS
MORNING. THE FORECASTED HIGH TODAY AT UKIAH IS 109F...WHICH IF
OCCURS WILL BREAK THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 107F FOR THIS DATE.

EXPECT COASTAL TEMPS TO MAX OUT IN THE LATE MORNING HOURS BEFORE
THE SEA BREEZE KICKS IN. LATE SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT WILL MEAN
WARMER TEMPERATURES FOR THE IMMEDIATE COAST...POSSIBLY FLIRTING
WITH THE LOW 80S RATHER THAN THE LOW TO MID 70S CURRENTLY
FORECASTED.

TODAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO
FLATTEN OUT TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. FOR COASTAL LOCATIONS THE
MAIN QUESTION WILL BE WHEN THE STRATUS RETURNS. STRATUS FROM THE
SOUTH HAS CREPT AS FAR NORTH AS THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY THIS
MORNING...AND EXPECT THAT IT WILL REACH FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE MENDOCINO COUNTY COAST LATE TONIGHT...AND NORTH OF THE CAPE BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. COASTAL STRATUS WILL BECOME PROGRESSIVELY MUCH
MORE PREVALENT AND THE MARINE LAYER WILL PROBABLY DEEPEN
SUFFICIENTLY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROF APPROACHES BY FRIDAY NIGHT TO
INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY FOR DRIZZLE ALONG THE COAST. SATURDAY WILL
BRING MUCH COOLER WEATHER TO INLAND LOCATIONS AS A SEASONABLY
STRONG TROUGH DIVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WITH READINGS
DROPPING 10 TO 15 DEGREES FROM FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN PLACING THE TROUGH
AXIS ALONG THE WEST COAST SUNDAY MORNING. THUS...SUNDAY WILL
LIKELY BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD FOR INTERIOR
LOCATIONS. AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EASTWARD...THE WEST COAST WILL
TRANSITION TO WEAK RIDGING BY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AND BRING A
REBOUND IN MAX TEMPS INLAND. MODELS ARE RATHER INCONSISTENT IN
THEIR MESSAGE FOR MID NEXT WEEK. THE GFS HAS BACKED OFF THE
STRENGTH OF THIS FEATURE...INSTEAD SLIDING A VERY WEAK TROF WELL
NORTH AND EAST OF US DURING THAT TIME FRAME WHILE KEEPING A RATHER
NICE RIDGE CENTERED JUST TO OUR WEST. ECWMF IS SIMILAR
INITIALLY...HOWEVER IT DIGS THE LOW SOUTHWESTWARDS OVER THE
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST BY LATE WEEK...UNDERCUTTING
THE RIDGE. BOTH OF THESE DIFFER FROM THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN WHICH
DIGS A SLOWER AND DEEPER TROF INTO THE EASTERN PACIFIC. WILL
CONTINUE WITH PERSISTENCE DURING THIS TIME WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN
WEATHER OR TEMPERATURES EXPECTED UNDER THE WEAK FLOW ALOFT. ALM

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY OUTSIDE OF TEMPO MVFR
VIS AROUND SUNRISE IN PATCHY FG ALONG THE COAST. NAM AND WRF IN GOOD
AGREEMENT ON STRATUS REFORMING LATE TODAY. EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS AT
ACV AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH CEC HOLDING OFF UNTIL EARLY FRI MORNING. BC
&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND PACIFIC
NORTHWEST STATES HAS COMBINED WITH THERMAL LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST TO PRODUCE A STRONG GRADIENT OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE GALES OFFSHORE WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT AND THEN ABATE TO HIGH-END SMALL CRAFT
VALUES FRI AS A WEAKENING FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. THE WINDS
NEAR SHORE WILL ALSO SLACKEN TODAY INTO FRIDAY...BUT STEEP SHORT
PERIOD SWELL FROM THE OFFSHORE WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE
NEAR SHORE WATERS. THE GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN AGAIN EARLY
SAT...WITH GALES AND HAZARDOUS SEAS EXPECTED OFFSHORE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. BC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... EXPOSED RIDGETOP SITES
ABOVE 4-5K FEET MAY EXPERIENCE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
FOR SEVERAL HOURS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY AND
TOMORROW BUT THE DURATION AND COVERAGE IS NOT QUITE SUFFICIENT TO
JUSTIFY A RED FLAG WARNING. A SHIFTING THERMAL TROUGH WILL BRING
THE HIGHEST WINDS TO RIDGETOP SITES NEAR THE COAST IN HUMBOLDT AND
DEL NORTE COUNTIES...WHERE THE MOST EXPOSED SITES WILL SEE GUSTS
IN THE 25-35 MPH. IN TRINITY AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES...WINDS WILL
BE OF LESSER MAGNITUDE. HUMIDITY RECOVERIES IN THESE AREAS MAY
ONLY REACH 25-35 PERCENT ALONG THE RIDGES COMPARED TO 40-60
PERCENT CLOSER TO THE COAST. VALLEYS/DRAINAGES IN ALL AREAS WILL
CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE DECENT OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ALONG
WITH COOL NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES. NE TO E WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE
LESS FOR ALL AREAS AS THE COASTAL THERMAL TROUGH RELAXES SLIGHTLY
AND SHIFTS NORTH. BURGER
