AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED TYPO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
430 AM PST SAT FEB 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL
COMBINE WITH A PLUME OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TODAY...BRINGING
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN BEGINNING LATE SATURDAY. WET AND
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...RADAR SHOWS RAINFALL INTENSITY PICKING UP OFFSHORE
THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH THE PRECIP REMAINS WELL OFF THE COAST.  RAIN
WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO NW CALIFORNIA TODAY AS AN UPPER LOW SLOWLY
EDGES EASTWARD.  A MOIST 150+ KNOT JET WILL TAKE AIM AT THE CENTRAL
CA COAST THIS AFTERNOON...AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
AS WELL.  RAINFALL RATES WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AS PWATS
IN EXCESS OF 0.8 INCHES COMBINES WITH DEEP UVV.  STRONG SW WINDS
AROUND 40 KNOTS AT H7 WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR OROGRAPHIC PRECIP ALONG
FAVORED HILLS...INCLUDING THE KING RANGE...WHICH COULD SEE IN EXCESS
OF 5 INCHES OF RAIN FROM SAT NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.  RAIN WILL BECOME
MORE SHOWERY MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY AFTER A COLD FRONT PASSES
THROUGH THE REGION.  BROAD TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL
MAINTAIN AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS THROUGH FRIDAY.  ADDITIONAL
RAIN IS EXPECTED NEXT WEEKEND AS AN UPPER TROUGH DROPS DOWN FROM THE
GULF OF ALASKA. KL

BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH PERIODS OF MVFR OR IFR CEILINGS AND

INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST WHERE GUSTS
UP TO 20 KT CAN BE EXPECTED. TH

&&

.MARINE...A BROAD TROUGH OVER THE E PACIFIC WILL SUPPORT SOUTHERLY
WINDS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH AT LEAST WED. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
CIRCULATING AROUND THE TROUGH WILL GENERATE PERIODS OF INCREASED
WINDS THROUGH NEXT WEEK. GALE FORCE GUSTS STILL LOOK POSSIBLE MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT NUMERICAL MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON THE
FORECASTED WINDS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. SINCE THE MODELS ARE STILL
STRUGGLING TO FORECAST THE TIMING OF THE SHORT WAVES HAVE HELD OFF
ON ISSUING A GALE WATCH FOR MONDAY. THE SEAS WILL RESPOND TO THE
BURSTS OF INCREASED WINDS WITH SOUTHERLY FRESH SWELL INTERMINGLING
WITH LARGE SOUTHERLY WIND WAVES. THE SEAS WILL BE FURTHER
COMPLICATED BY A LONG PERIOD WEST SWELL. TH
