DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY FALL
BELOW GALE CRITERIA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY...BUT WILL

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING MEANS HAZARDOUS SEA CONDITIONS ARE
IMMINENT OR OCCURING. RECREATIONAL BOATERS SHOULD REMAIN IN
PORT...OR TAKE SHELTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.  COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR ROUGH SEAS AND CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR
TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL HAZARDOUS SEAS SUBSIDE.

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
400 PM PDT SUN AUG 31 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A TROUGH WILL BRING COOLER WEATHER TO NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT...WITH FROST LIKELY IN SOME INLAND VALLEY
LOCATIONS TONIGHT INTO LABOR DAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
UNDER SUNNY SKIES ON LABOR DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK OVER THE
REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...FEW CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE
TODAY AS MODELS CONTINUE TO MOVE AN UPPER TROUGH INLAND THROUGH
NORTHERN INTERIOR CALIFORNIA AND POINTS NORTH THROUGH THE GREAT
BASIN TONIGHT. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING INTO THE EASTERN
PACIFIC BEHIND THE EXITING TROUGH...AND AT THE SURFACE THE HIGH IS
BUILDING INLAND THROUGH OREGON. THE SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN
SUPPORTS BREEZY OFFSHORE FLOW TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY...AND
THE RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING...TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS IS NOT MIXED BY
THE WIND. THE RFW OUT FOR THE MENDOCINO INTERIOR FIRE ZONES APPEARS
TO BE ON TRACK WITH AVERAGE EASTERLY WIND SPEEDS FORECAST TO BE IN
THE 6 TO 12 MPH RANGE AND GUSTING INTO THE 20S...WITH HIGHER
ELEVATION RH VALUES EXPECTED TO FALL JUST BARELY INTO CRITERIA FOR
THE WARNING. THE MORE NORTHERLY FIRE DISTRICTS WILL LIKELY BE TOO
MOIST TO WARRANT A WARNING...WITH WIND SPEEDS AVERAGING A BIT LOWER
AS WELL. WILL ALLOW THE FROST ADVISORY TO CONTINUE FOR THE UPPER
TRINITY ZONE...ALTHOUGH SUSPECT THAT WINDS WILL TEND TO KEEP THE
BOUNDARY LAYER FAIRLY WELL MIXED UNTIL NEAR DAYBREAK. THE MOST
LIKELY SPOTS FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 30S WILL BE HIGHER
ELEVATION VALLEYS SUCH AS HAYFORK WHERE GOOD COOL AIR DRAINAGE
OCCURS UNDER RADIATIONAL COOLING REGIMES. AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE REGION...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE ON THE RISE TOWARD MORE
SEASONABLY VALUES STARTING TUESDAY...WITH INLAND HIGHS IN THE MID
90S. CC

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL HELP
PROMOTE THE PERSISTANT AND INTENSE NORTHERLY WINDS ALONG THE COASTAL
WATERS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.  THE RIDGING ALOFT WILL ALSO KEEP
MUCH OF THE CWA ON THE WARM AND DRY SIDE...EXCEPT FOR THE COAST
WHERE THE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES AROUND NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR.  WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW AT NIGHT AND DURING THE EARLY
MORNINGS SHOULD KEEP THE MARINE LAYER AT BAY WITH ONLY PATCHY FOG
AND STRATUS EXPECTED AT THE COAST. FORECAST MODELS HINTING AT LIGHT
SOUTHERLY WINDS ALONG THE COAST ON SATURDAY WHICH WOULD HELP BRING
STRATUS BACK THIS WAY...BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW WITH THIS
SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION...CLEAR SKIES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
TONIGHT ASIDE FROM SCT IFR STRATUS UP THE EEL RIVER VALLEY FROM
ABOUT 2000 UNTIL MIDNIGHT IN UPSLOPE NORTHERLY FLOW. SKIES WILL THEN
CLEAR OVERNIGHT AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN. THE JET STREAM WILL BE
SHIFTING RAPIDLY INLAND INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION TONIGHT WITH
THE SURFACE WINDS DECREASING...ESPECIALLY IN VALLEY AREAS AND ALONG
THE COAST. DEAN

&&

.MARINE...GALE/HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNINGS REMAIN IN PLACE FOR ALL
WATERS CURRENTLY INTO THIS EVENING. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE
REMAINS WHEN CONDITIONS WILL EASE OUT OF WARNING CRITERIA. THE WINDS
DROPPED BELOW GALES AT THE NEAR SHORE BUOYS FOR MOST OF TODAY THOUGH
THEY ARE STARTING TO INCREASE DUE TO TYPICAL WARMING INLAND.  THIS
WILL TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND EXPECT WINDS TO GUST NEAR
GALE SPEEDS. WILL LET GALE END IN THE NEAR SHORE THIS EVENING ONCE
TEMPERATURES START TO COOL AND GRADIENT RELAXES. CONTINUED GALE IN
OUTER WATERS TONIGHT AND ENDING IT FIRST IN THE NORTHERN WATERS AND
THEN IN THE SOUTHERN WATERS MONDAY AS GRADIENT RELAXES JUST
SLIGHTLY. THERE SHOULD STILL BE FEW GALE GUSTS IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS WITH THE TYPICAL DIURNAL EFFECT ON TUES AND WED. A
VERY WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY
DECREASING THE SURFACE HIGH BUT IT REBUILDS LATE IN THE WEEK. IN THE
MEANTIME THE SURFACE LOW MOVES ALONG THE MENDICINO COAST WITH THE
TIGHTEST PRESSURE GRADIENT SHIFTING TO OVER THE NORTHERN OUTER
WATERS. WITH WINDS REMAINING AT HIGH END OF SMALL CRAFT OR LOW END
GALE...CONTINUED THE HAZ SEAS WARNING IN THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH
THE WEEK. DEAN

&&

.FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION....AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INLAND OVER
THE REGION WILL BRING GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS TO THE DISTRICT TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY...WITH THE STRONGEST SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS
EXPECTED FOR THE MENDOCINO INTERIOR FIRE DISTRICT. WINDS WILL MAINLY
IMPACT RIDGES AND UPPER SLOPES...WHERE THE MOST GUST PRONE AREAS
COULD SEE GUSTS NEAR 30 MPH. DAYTIME RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
TO NEAR THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THE INLAND VALLEYS...AND OVERNIGHT RH
RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR...ESPECIALLY OVER RIDGES AND IN THE
MENDOCINO AREA. WINDS SPEEDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH ON TUESDAY AS
THE GRADIENT WEAKENS...HOWEVER LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. CC
