AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
149 PM PST TUE FEB 2 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE PERIODS OF
RAIN INTO THE WEEKEND. SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH A BRIEF BREAK IN RAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. A
COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AND MORE SUBSTANTIAL RAIN
THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
OFFSHORE OREGON AND CA WITH THE LOW CENTERED NEAR 43N 132W. THIS LOW
WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE SHOWERS ACROSS NW CA TONIGHT AND WED
MORNING AS THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED TROUGH SHIFTS INLAND. BROAD
AREA OF OPEN CELLED CUMULUS CIRCULATING AROUND THE LOW IS INDICATIVE
OF COLD AIR ALOFT. WITH THIS COLD AIR ALOFT AND STEEPENING LAPSE
RATES...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
THE GREATEST THREAT OF CONVECTION REMAINS OVER THE WATERS AND ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST. SNOW LEVELS WILL GENERALLY BE NEAR 4000 FEET
TONIGHT...BUT MAY BRIEFLY DROP TO 3500 FEET ACROSS INTERIOR TRINITY
COUNTY LATE TONIGHT. SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH WED AFTERNOON AS A WEAK
SHORT WAVE RIDGE MOVES OVER THE REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A BRIEF BREAK IN SHOWERS WED AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...BUT THE NEXT APPROACHING STORM WILL PUSH THE RIDGE
QUICKLY TO THE EAST WED NIGHT. WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL PRODUCE
LIGHT RAIN THU MORNING AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONT.  GUSTY SOUTH WINDS
WILL ALSO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST AND EXPOSED RIDGES THU MORNING
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING WITH THE FRONT
PASSAGE. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN THE EVENING
AND GENERATE MORE STEADY AND SUBSTANTIAL RAIN THROUGH THU NIGHT.
RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THU AND THU NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM AROUND A HALF
OF AN INCH NORTH OF GARBERVILLE TO AROUND AN INCH SOUTH OF
GARBERVILLE. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 4000 FEET.
SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE ABOVE 5000 FEET...BUT DO
NOT PLAN ON ISSUING ANY WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS DUE TO THE LOCALIZED
NATURE OF THESE HIGHER AMOUNTS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AT OR BELOW PASS
LEVEL WILL BE LIGHT WITH NO MAJOR SNOW IMPACTS EXPECTED.

THERE WILL BE ANOTHER BRIEF BREAK IN RAINFALL FRI...THEN A SECONDARY
TROUGH WILL GENERATE ADDITIONAL RAIN FRI NIGHT INTO SAT. MODEL
SOLUTIONS VARY BEYOND SAT BUT HINT AT AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WITH
DRIER CONDITIONS SUN AND MON. HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN IN THE LONG
TERM...BUT HAVE CONTINUED WITH CLIMO POPS DUE TO THE INCONSISTENCIES
IN MODEL FORECASTS. TH

&&

.AVIATION...AN UPPER LOW OFFSHORE WILL MAINTAIN SOUTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH CONTINUED VARIABLE SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR
THE AIRPORTS. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN GENERALLY VFR IN ALL LOCATIONS
THROUGH THE EVENING...ALTHOUGH PERIODIC DIPS TO MVFR VSBY/CIGS WILL
OCCUR IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. AS THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES THE COAST THIS
EVENING...INSTABILITY APPEARS SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE MENTION OF
ISOLD TSTMS AFTER 0300 UTC. ALSO EXPECT TO SEE A RETURN OF REDUCED
VSBY OVER THE INTERIOR VALLEYS EARLY WED MORNING.CC

&&

.MARINE...MODERATE SOUTH WINDS CONTINUE OVER THE WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LOW LINGERS OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WINDS
HAVE INCREASED TO SCA OVER THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS...MAINLY WEST
OF CAPE MENDOCINO. EXPECT WINDS TO CONTINUE NEAR OR JUST BELOW THESE
SPEEDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY MORNING A STRONGER LOW WILL
APPROACH THE COAST...BRINGING WINDS TO GALE FORCE OVER THE OUTER
WATERS. THE GFS APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE NAM BRINGING
THE STRONGER WINDS INTO OUR WATERS...BY A FEW HOURS...BUT DECIDED TO
GO WITH GFS TIMING AS IT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF SOLUTION AND
BOTH HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. EXPECT TO
SEE GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING. MODELS ARE NOW
DECREASING WINDS FAIRLY QUICKLY ON FRIDAY BUT WILL WAIT FOR ANOTHER
RUN BEFORE COMMITTING TO THIS NEW SOLUTION. STILL EXPECT TO SEE
BUILDING SHORT PERIOD S-SW SEAS ALONG WITH THE WINDS...COMBINED WITH
A LONGER PERIOD WEST SWELL. WINDS WILL DIMINISH FOR THE WEEKEND BUT
THE WEST SWELL WILL BUILD TO NEAR 12 TO 13 FEET. CC
