AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
228 PM PST TUE DEC 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SWING THROUGH THE
REGION TONIGHT...BRINGING RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW. A BREAK
IN THE RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO AN
UPPER RIDGE. A MORE SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND SNOW STORM SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO REACH THE REGION THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE STORM SYSTEMS FOR TONIGHT
AND THIS WEEKEND. DOWNSLOPING EFFECT REALLY KICKED FOR THE
EUREKA/ARCATA AREA BY MID DAY AS LIGHT RAIN CONTINUED ALONG THE REST
OF THE REDWOOD COAST TODAY. HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES JUST OFFSHORE AS 65
KT LOW LEVEL JET PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FORCING...ALONG WITH LIFT FROM
DEEPENING SYNOPTIC TROUGH. VORT MAX SWINGING AROUND BASE OF TROUGH
/CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER VAPOR LOOP APPROACHING THE 30N AND 130W
INTERSECTION/ WILL RESULT IN EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF TROUGH ALOFT
OVER THE REGION TONIGHT. HEAVY PRECIP OFFSHORE WILL THEN PUSH EAST
ACCORDINGLY...ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL FORCING WILL WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY
AS LOW LEVEL JET DIMINISHES. SO PRECIP WILL NOT BE NEARLY AS HEAVY
A IT HAS BEEN OFFSHORE TODAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO AROUND 2500
TO 3000 FT...HOWEVER ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA...WITH UP TO 3 INCHES ABOVE 2500 FEET...AND 2 TO 5 INCHES
ABOVE 3500 FT. SOME MTN PASSES MAY BECOME SLICK. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
OF .4 TO .75 INCH WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE RIDGES CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. SHORT WAVE RIDGING WILL THEN BUILD
OVERHEAD FOR WED AND THEN AMPLIFIES OVER THE WESTERN CONUS THROUGH
FRIDAY.

ANOTHER SHARP TROUGH PIVOTS OFFSHORE FOR FRIDAY...AND BECOMES
NEGATIVELY TILTED OVER THE WEEKEND. LIKE TODAY...HEAVY PRECIP LOOKS
TO SIT OFFSHORE THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH LIGHT RAIN ALONG
THE SHORELINE. THEN AS TROUGH DEEPENS...FIRST ROUND OF PRECIP WILL
PUSH THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE EKA FORECAST AREA CHRISTMAS
DAY. A SECONDARY VORT MAX WILL THEN BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP TO
THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ALONG A TRAILING FRONT SUNDAY.
PRELIMINARY PRECIP TOTALS FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND ARE 2 TO 4
INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FA AND 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE
NORTHERN FA. SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO DROP AS LOW AS 2000 TO 2500 FT
ACROSS MAINLY TRINITY COUNTY...AND ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY CAUSE
TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. STAY TUNED. BETTWY

&&

.AVIATION...CURRENTLY MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR
CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS. TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES
ONSHORE STEADY RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT BRINGING MVFR
CONDITIONS. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE EARLY THIS EVENING AND THEN
DIMINISHING LATE IN THE EVENING. TOMORROW MORNING A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. MKK

&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL DIMINISH RAPIDLY TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. GALE
WARNINGS ENDING THROUGH THE EVENING. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
FOR LIGHT WINDS ON WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA.
WEAK NORTHWEST WEST SWELL BUILDS IN WITH WAVE HEIGHTS AROUND 6 TO
8FT EXPECTED.

LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WINDS BEGIN TO BUILD AHEAD OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT GALE TO NEAR GALE
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON SO A GALE WATCH
MAY BE NEEDED SOON. WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH MIDDAY SATURDAY
BEFORE DIMINISHING RAPIDLY BEHIND FRONT. MODELS DIFFER SLIGHTLY ON
THE TIMING OF THE FRONT. THE DGEX DIMINISHES WINDS EARLIER THAN GFS
AND ECMWF SO, FOLLOWED THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTION MORE CLOSELY.

NEAR GALE TO GALE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON SUNDAY AS ANOTHER
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. MODELS DIFFER SOME ON THE TIMING AND
INTENSITY. THE GFS/GEM AND DGEX WERE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE
ECMWF BEING MORE OF OUTLIER. TRENDED THE GOING FORECAST TOWARDS THE
GFS. MONDAY AND TUESDAY MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON LIGHT
WINDS. MKK
