NORTH WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE TO ADVISORY LEVEL
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH GALE FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT IN A DANGEROUS
SEA STATE AS WIND WAVES BUILD TO 8 TO 10 FEET...AND SHORT PERIOD
FRESH SWELL MOVES IN FROM THE OUTER WATERS. COMBINED SEA HEIGHTS
WILL BUILD 10 TO 12 FEET LATE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LARGE AND OR STEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE POTENTIAL
HAZARD TO SMALL CRAFT.

A GALE WATCH IS ISSUED WHEN THE RISK OF GALE FORCE WINDS OF 34 TO
47 KNOTS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED...BUT THE SPECIFIC TIMING
AND/OR LOCATION IS STILL UNCERTAIN. IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME FOR MARINERS WHO MAY WISH TO CONSIDER
ALTERING THEIR PLANS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
345 PM PDT THU AUG 28 2008

.SYNOPSIS...HOT AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY AS AN
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE WEST 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...UNSEASONABLY HOT WEATHER CONTINUES INLAND...WITH 2 PM
READINGS OF 105 AT LAYTONVILLE...102 AT UKIAH...AND 100 AT HAYFORK.
EVEN ALONG THE COAST SOME PLACES EXPERIENCED THE WARMTH...WITH THE
AIRPORT NORTH OF MCKINLEYVILLE REPORTING 82 DEGREES AT PRESS TIME.
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT WEATHER WILL START
TO BREAK DOWN FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH AREAS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST
WILL PROBABLY ONLY DROP A COUPLE OF DEGREES.  ALONG THE
COAST...MARINE STRATUS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT WITH THE
MOST VULNERABLE AREA RIGHT AROUND THE HUMBOLDT BAY AND PERHAPS ALONG
THE SOUTHERN MENDOCINO COAST.  SOME OF THIS STRATUS MAY LINGER
THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY AS AN APPROACHING TROUGH HELPS LIFT THE
MARINE LAYER.  THIS TROUGH MAY HELP SQUEEZE OUT SOME DRIZZLE ALONG
THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT...OTHERWISE ITS PASSAGE ON SATURDAY WILL WASH
OUT THE MARINE LAYER SO SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED FOR EVEN THE COAST BY
THE AFTERNOON.  INLAND TEMPERATURES WILL FALL A GOOD 15 TO 20
DEGREES BETWEEN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 5 DEGREES
OF COOLING LIKELY ON SUNDAY.  BREEZY WEATHER WILL ACCOMPANY AND
FOLLOW THE TROUGH...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE
RIDGES.  MOISTURE/INSTABILITY PARAMETERS LOOK UNFAVORABLE FOR ANY
ORGANIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY HOWEVER HAVE RETAINED NONZERO CHANCES FOR
SATURDAY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO IN THE GRIDS MAINLY DUE TO THE
SHARPNESS OF THE TROUGH.  BURGER

.LONG TERM...AS THE UPPER TROUGH EDGES EAST OF THE REGION MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC.  AS OPPOSED TO YESTERDAYS RUNS...MODELS ARE SHOWING THE
RIDGE MAINTAINING CONTROL OVER THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.  AS A RESULT...A GRADUAL WARMING
TREND IS EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY INLAND.  PERSISTENT NORTH
WINDS ALONG THE COAST WILL KEEP COASTAL STRATUS DEVELOPMENT TO A
MINIMUM THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. KL

&&

.AVIATION...VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA UNTIL EARLY MORNING FRIDAY. BOTH MODELS AND GUIDANCE INDICATE
MARINE LAYER INTRUSION STARTING AROUND 0800-0900 UTC FRIDAY...AND
BELIEVE THAT CIGS AND VSBY WILL DROP TO LIFR VALUES BETWEEN THAT
TIME AND 1500 UTC FRIDAY. INLAND AREAS WILL CONTINUE AT VFR. CC

&&

.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 THIS EVENING 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. EXPECT TO SEE SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS IN THE NEARSHORE WATERS
IN THE SATURDAY NIGHT TO SUNDAY TIME PERIOD...AS MODELS CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN STRONG NORTH FLOW. IN ADDITION...WIND WAVES WILL GROW
RAPIDLY OFFSHORE AS WINDS RAMP UP ON SATURDAY...BUILDING TO 13 TO 15
FT BY SUNDAY AT AROUND 8 SECONDS. THESE WIND WAVES WILL MOVE INTO
THE NEARSHORE WATERS AS A LARGE AND VERY DANGEROUS FRESH
SWELL...THAT IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. CC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THERMAL TROUGH ALONG THE COAST WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPAND NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT AND WEAKEN...WHICH WILL TRANSLATE TO
LIGHTER RIDGE WINDS THAN WHAT HAS BEEN WITNESSED THE LAST TWO
NIGHTS.  SOME GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH WILL STILL OCCUR AT
EXPOSED SITES GENERALLY ABOVE 4-5K FEET AND ALSO IN THE COASTAL
MOUNTAINS OF HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES...WITH HUMIDITY
RECOVERY STILL POOR ENOUGH THAT LOCAL CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST.  THIS PATTERN WILL TRANSITION VERY QUICKLY
TO A COOLER AND SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST ONE BEGINNING FRIDAY WITH THE
BIG CHANGE SLATED FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.  HOWEVER...GOOD MIXING
WILL PROMOTE BREEZY W-NW FLOW BOTH UP THE RIVER VALLEYS AND ON THE
RIDGES ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING.  THERE IS
SIGNIFICANT CONCERN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CRITERIA BEING
MET SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE POST TROUGH AIRMASS DRIES AND WINDS ALOFT
REMAIN STRONG.  GOOD UPPER LEVEL WIND SUPPORT IS NOTED IN THIS
REGIME...UNLIKE THE CURRENT EVENT...WITH THE FLOW AT 10K FEET AS
HIGH AS 40 KT PER THE 12Z GFS.  THIS LEVEL HAS PROVED REASONABLE IN
ESTIMATING THE HIGHEST WIND GUSTS ALONG THE MOST EXPOSED RIDGES.
THE WILD CARD WILL BE MOISTURE VALUES...AS THEY COULD BE RATHER LOW
DESPITE THE MUCH COOLER AIRMASS.  BURGER
