AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
325 AM PDT SUN OCT 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION JUST IN TIME
FOR THE NEW WORK WEEK...BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND THE THREAT
OF A FEW SHOWERS. TYPICAL FALL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A
RETURN BY MIDWEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE MAIN FCST CHALLENGE WILL BE PRECIP CHANCES OVER
THE NEXT TWO DAYS. OVERALL...VERY FEW CHANGES NEEDED TO THE
CURRENT FCST. A WEAKENING UPPER LOW OFF THE SOCAL COAST IS
CURRENTLY SENDING A PLUME OF MOISTURE ACROSS NRN CA. PRECIPITABLE
WATERS VALUES OFF LOCAL SOUNDINGS INDICATE UP TO AN INCH WHICH IS
SUPPORTED BY CURRENT SAT PICS. TSTMS WERE PRESENT ALONG THE SERRIA
CREST SAT AFTN/EVE...AND SEE NO REASON WHY THE SAME WON'T OCCUR ON
SUN. WHILE A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTAL
RANGE...INSTABILITY IS MARGINAL AT BEST IN THE EUREKA CWA AS THE
AXIS OF GREATEST INSTABILITY IS SHUNTED EAST BY THE APPROACH OF AN
OFFSHORE TROUGH. MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING WEAKER WITH THIS TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...POISED TO MOVE ACROSS NW CA MON AM. A
FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT THE
BIGGEST CHANGE WILL BE THE CONTINUED COOL DOWN...FELT MOST ACROSS
THE INTERIOR. AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS INLAND...IT WILL DROP SOUTH AND
BECOME CUT-OFF OVER SRN CA ON TUE. A RIDGE POKING INTO OREGON
BEHIND THE CUT-OFF LOW WILL PRODUCE EASTERLY OFFSHORE FLOW FOR THE
NORTH COAST TUE AND WED. THIS SHOULD CLEAR AWAY ANY STRATUS FROM
THE COAST...BUT TEMPS WILL NOT WARM SUBSTANTIALLY DUE TO THE
PROXIMITY OF THE LOW. THE LOW MEANDERS IN THE 4-CORNERS REGION
THROUGH THU BEFORE FINALLY WEAKENING AND PUSHING EAST. JCA

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS AT COASTAL AIRSTRIPS HAVE BEEN
WAVERING AROUND DUE TO MIST AND LIGHT DRIZZLE. NAM12 AND GFS MOS
GUIDANCE WERE TOO LOW ON BOTH AND WILL FOLLOW CURRENT TREND AND
MAINTAIN A NEAR STEADY STATE FORECAST THROUGH TODAY. CIGS AND VSBYS
SHOULD FALL SLIGHTLY AGAIN TONIGHT DUE TO MIST AND DRIZZLE. DJB

&&

.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE TODAY DUE TO SWELL NEAR 10
FT AND MODERATE NORTH WIND NEAR 20 KTS IN THE OUTER WATERS. SWELL
HAS BEEN GRADUALLY COMING UP TO AROUND 10 FT OUTSIDE 10NM
ACCORDING TO BUOY OBS. ENP AND SWAN WERE A TAD TOO HIGH OR TOO
FAST COMPARED TO OBS...SO UNDERCUT BY A FOOT OR TWO. BY FAR MAIN
MARINE FORECAST CONCERN IS THE STRONG NORTHERLY SURGE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP AFTER TROUGH PASSAGE ON MONDAY. NAM12 AND GFS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT ON THIS...SO CONFIDENCE IS MODERATELY HIGH AND WILL
HOIST A GALE WATCH MON NIGHT->TUE NIGHT. DJB
