AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
500 AM PDT MON MAY 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...COOLER WEATHER WILL MAKE A RETURN FOR THE BEGINNING OF
THE WORK WEEK ALONG WITH LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ALONG THE COAST. SEVERAL
WEAK FRONTS OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS MAY TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS OVER HIGHER TERRAIN WITH PLENTY OF COASTAL CLOUDS AND
DRIZZLE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE CONTINUES TO REVOLVE AROUND THE
THREAT FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A TROUGH DROPPING OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA
IS BRINING COOLER ON-SHORE FLOW TO START THE WEEK. INCREASING MID
AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE CURRENTLY IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL
OVERSPREAD NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LATER TODAY. A WEAK FRONT WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS INCREASE IN MOISTURE...WITH JUST ENOUGH LIFT TO
PROMOTE CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. A FEW
SHOWERS...PERHAPS EVEN A THUNDERSTORM ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN
TRINITY COUNTY. MEANWHILE...THE MARINE LAYER IS EXPECTED TO DEEPEN WITH
THE ON-SHORE FLOW RESULTING IN PLENTY OF DRIZZLE AND LOCALLY DENSE
FOG.

A SECONDARY COOL FRONT MOVES THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AS THE MAIN
UPPER TROUGH CRASHES ONTO THE PAC NW COAST. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
BE FOUND MAINLY NORTH OF KLAMATH EARLY TUESDAY WITH FOG AND DRIZZLE
PREVALENT FURTHER DOWN THE COAST. A MORE ABRUPT TURN IN TEMPERATURES
WILL BE FELT ON TUESDAY BEHIND THIS SECOND COLD FRONT AS H85 TEMPS
FALL ABOUT 10C FROM MONDAY. THIS COOL DOWN WILL BE MORE NOTICEABLE
INLAND...WHERE AFTERNOON HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 10-15F COOLER.

DRY AND WARMER WEATHER RETURNS MIDWEEK AS THE HIGH OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST RE-ESTABLISHES ITS DOMINANCE. JCA

&&

.AVIATION...LOW COASTAL STRATUS CEILINGS WITH AREAS OF FOG OR MIST
WILL PERSIST ALONG THE COAST THIS MORNING. THE RESULT WILL BE IFR
CONDITIONS AT THE COASTAL AIRPORTS. THE VISIBILITIES WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE THIS MORNING AND BECOME UNRESTRICTED BY 1700Z. WITH THE
ONSHORE FLOW TODAY...EXPECT THE CEILINGS AT THE COASTAL AIRPORTS TO
GRADUALLY IMPROVE DURING THE MORNING...BUT REMAIN BETWEEN 010 AND
025 FEET DURING THE AFTERNOON. SCT TO BKN HIGH CLOUDS AND
UNRESTRICTED VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED INLAND. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE ASHORE THIS EVENING AROUND 0200Z. LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT...IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AGAIN THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. KENNEDY

&&

.MARINE...A 06Z SHIP REPORT AND THE EVENING SCATTEROMETER WINDS
SHOWED 25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS...AND THE MODEL
GUIDANCE HAD 20 TO 25 KNOTS THROUGH THE DAY. SO DID CONTINUE THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS AND ALLOWED THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS TO EXPIRE. THE
WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO EASE DURING THE DAY TODAY AS A WEAK
APPROACHES THE COAST. THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS
TONIGHT.

THIS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED BREAK AS THE HIGH REBUILDS TOWARD THE COAST
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AND A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH INTENSIFIES
ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST. THE INTERACTION OF THESE TWO PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL CAUSE A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS.
THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING NORTH WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS
STARTING TUESDAY NIGHT. DID ISSUE A WATCH FOR GALE FORCE WINDS AND
HAZARDOUS SEAS FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE OUTER WATERS. PRIOR TO THIS...A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE OUTER WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
SHOULD SUFFICE FOR THE INNER WATERS ALSO BEGINNING TUESDAY NIGHT.
KENNEDY

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS AND HAZARDOUS SEAS UNTIL 6 PM PDT
THIS EVENING FROM CAPE MENDOCINO TO PT ARENA OUT 10 TO 60 NM.

GALE WATCH FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT FROM PT
ST GEORGE TO PT ARENA OUT 10 TO 60 NM.

HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
