A MODERATE STORM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES ARE

MUCH FARTHER FROM SHOALING AREAS THAN IS NORMALLY EXPERIENCED.
REMEMBER...BREAKING WAVES CAN EASILY CAPSIZE EVEN LARGER VESSELS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
300 PM PST MON FEB 9 2009

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. A STRONG WINTER STORM WILL
BRING MORE RAIN AND SNOW TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PLENTY OF OPEN CELL CU ON
VISIBLE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH EMBEDDED SHOWERS THAT ARE
DIMINISHING IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE.  SHORT WAVE RIDGING WILL ALLOW
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER NIGHT PAVING THE WAY FOR ANOTHER COLD MORNING
TOMORROW.  SOME HIGH CIRRUS AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM MAY HELP
MITIGATE THE TEMPERATURES FROM BOTTOMING OUT.  AS THE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES TOMORROW SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE QUITE
GUSTY WARRANTING A GALE WARNING ACROSS THE WATERS.  PRECIPITATION IN
THE FORM OF RAIN SHOULD REACH THE COAST BY LATE MORNING AND THEN
SPREAD EAST AND SOUTH THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
EXPECTING THE SOUTH WIND TO HELP MIX OUT MUCH OF THE COLD AIR THAT
WILL LIKELY SETTLE INTO THE INTERIOR VALLEYS KEEPING SNOW LEVELS
FAIRLY HIGH PRIOR TO PRECIPITATION BEGINNING THERE.  BUT AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND TOWARD WEDNESDAY MORNING THE COLD AIR SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO DROP SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO NEAR 2000 FEET.  MODEL
CONSENSUS FOR QPF DURING THIS COLD PERIOD KEEPS THE REGION UNDER
ADVISORY TYPE CRITERIA AT THIS TIME...THUS HAVE ISSUED SUCH.
ANTICIPATING THE SHOWER ACTIVITY TO BE PERSISTENT FOR MOST OF
WEDNESDAY AS WELL GIVEN THE UPPER LOW TRACKING OVER THE REGION.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO SLIDE SOUTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MAINTAINING SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY.  A WEAK RIDGE WILL BRIEFLY MOVE
OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER COOL PACIFIC STORM
LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY SIMILAR
TO WEDNESDAYS WITH SNOW LEVELS AROUND 2000 FEET AND MORE SHOWER
ACTIVITY. THE WET PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE WEEKEND AS SYSTEMS LINE
