AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
250 PM PST FRI DEC 24 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS DAY...WITH RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW
SLOWLY OVERSPREADING THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES INCLUDE WIND THIS
EVENING...FOLLOWED BY RAIN AND SNOW PROSPECTS CHRISTMAS DAY AND BEYOND.

THE SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ABOUT 150
NM W OF EUREKA AT MID AFTERNOON WITH RADAR INDICATING MAINLY
ELEVATED RETURNS ALONG THE COAST AND OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...A FEW
SPRINKLES HAVE BEEN NOTED TODAY FROM ABOUT ORICK NORTH. WINDS OUT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT HAVE BEEN GUSTY...WITH PEAK SPEEDS GENERALLY IN
THE 30 TO 40 MPH RANGE. LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...WITH
MOST AREAS AWAY FROM THE COAST REMAINING ESSENTIALLY DRY. THE BEST
PROSPECTS FOR MEASURABLE RAIN ARE FROM MCKINLEYVILLE
NORTHWARD...BUT EVEN THERE ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH IS
LIKELY TO FALL THROUGH LATE NIGHT.

THE FRONT GRADUALLY PIVOTS INLAND CHRISTMAS DAY...WITH
PRECIPITATION INCREASING FROM WEST TO EAST. ALL AREAS SHOULD
RECEIVE MEASURABLE RAIN BY AFTERNOON...WITH MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF 1
TO 2 INCHES. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE THE PASSES THROUGH
THE DAY...WITH WINDS ALSO BEING NOTICEABLY WEAKER TOMORROW. AS THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES OVERHEAD SATURDAY NIGHT...SNOW LEVELS
WILL FALL TO THE 2500 TO 3000 FOOT RANGE. WE CONTEMPLATED WINTER
WEATHER HEADLINES...BUT QPF IN THIS SHOWERY REGIME DOES NOT LOOK
SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO JUSTIFY THEIR ISSUANCE AT THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS. HOWEVER...A MARGINAL EVENT IS POSSIBLE FOR ELEVATIONS
AT AND ABOVE 3000 FEET FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
TIME FRAME AS ANOTHER INCOMING IMPULSE HELPS GENERATE ADDITIONAL
PRECIP SUNDAY. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN THIS OUTCOME IS STILL
QUESTIONABLE AT THE CURRENT TIME. WE HAVE RETAINED THE MENTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WATERS AND ADJACENT LAND SECTIONS
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY ALTHOUGH THE MOST RECENT DATA SUGGEST
LESS OF A THREAT. SMALL HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE HEAVIER
SHOWERS...PRESENTING A POTENTIAL TRAVEL HAZARD ON AREA ROADS.

BEYOND THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...THE PATTERN REMAINS UNSETTLED WITH
SEVERAL SYSTEMS LIKELY TO IMPACT THE REGION. THE STRONGEST OF
THESE LOOKS TO REACH NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY. MODELS ARE SUGGESTING MUCH COLDER AIR FOLLOWING THIS
SYSTEM...WHICH MAY RESULT IN SNOW LEVELS FALLING TO 1500 FEET OR
SO IF CURRENT INDICATIONS HOLD. BURGER

&&

.AVIATION...THE MAIN WEATHER STORY IS A COLD FRONT OFFSHORE. THIS
IS CURRENTLY BRINGING MID LEVEL CLOUDS AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON. TONIGHT CEILINGS WILL LOWER...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN VFR AND A FEW SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. MODELS ARE
IN GOOD AGREEMENT NOW THAT MOST OF THE RAIN WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER 12Z SATURDAY. CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO MVFR WITH
LOCAL AREAS OF IFR WITH THE HEAVIER RAIN. MKK

&&

.MARINE...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS PERSIST ACROSS THE WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON. ONLY RECENT OBSERVATION NEAR THE OUTER WATERS IS A SHIP
OBSERVATION JUST OUTSIDE OF SOUTHERN WATERS OF 40 KTS. THE WIND
APPEARS TO HAVE PEAKED AND BEGUN TO DIMINSH SO WILL CANCEL THE STORM
WARNING IN THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS AND START GALE WARNING. SEAS OF
14FT CURRENTLY BEING OBSERVED AT BUOY 22 AND 16FT AT CAPE
MENDOCINO WAVERIDER BUOY. THESE WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT UNTIL THE WINDS BEGIN TO SIGNIFICANTLY DROP TOWARDS
MORNING. SATURDAY WIND WAVES AND FRESH SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL
DIMINISH...BUT NORTHWESTERLY SWELL BEGINS TO BUILD IN AND PERSISTS
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY...BUT WINDS APPEAR TO REMAIN
BELOW GALE FORCE ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE CLOSE IN THE NORTHERN OUTER
WATERS. MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MODELS DISAGREE ON THE TIMING
BRINGING A FAIRLY WEAK SYSTEM THROUGH. GENERALLY TRENDED THE
FORECAST TOWARDS THE ECMWF WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY MODELS AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF GALE TO
NEAR GALE WINDS...BUT THERE ARE STILL SIGNIFICANT TIMING ISSUES.
