AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
359 AM PDT MON OCT 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AFTER A FEW CLOUDS IN THE EEL RIVER VALLEY DISSIPATE THIS MORNING
EXPECT A SUNNY DAY WITH A NORTHERLY BREEZE AT THE COAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE AS WARM ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK COMPARED TO THE WEEKEND. OFFSHORE FLOW AND DRY
AIR WILL KEEP THE COAST MILD WITH WIDESPREAD SUNSHINE THROUGH
THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
STRONG NORTHERLY GRADIENTS HAVE KEPT WINDS UP AT THE COAST MUCH OF
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. BREEZE CONDITIONS WILL BE PRESENT ONCE AGAIN
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST TODAY WITH MUCH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED BY
TUESDAY AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE MORE
ISOLATED COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS...DESPITE A LESS
OFFSHORE GRADIENT. THIS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WEAK
SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH...ACTING TO DISRUPT THE MARINE LAYER JUST
A BIT. OR PERHAPS THE NORTHERLY GRADIENT IS JUST KEEPING US FROM
DECOUPLING. EITHER WAY ANY CLOUDS WHICH ARE PRESENT BY MORNING IN
THE EEL RIVER VALLEY WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE THIS MORNING. SOME MID
CLOUDS WILL PASS ACROSS INTERIOR HUMBOLDT AND TRINITY COUNTIES THIS
MORNING AS WELL...OTHERWISE EXPECT WIDESPREAD SUNSHINE. OFFSHORE
FLOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO TAKE OVER FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH
CLEAR SKIES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. THE PATTERN IS
LOOKING MORE ZONAL ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND WEST COAST THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND...HOWEVER A GENERAL UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL KEEP THE
BULK OF THE ENERGY AND MOISTURE TO OUR NORTH. WHAT THIS WILL MEAN IS
SEASONAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND UNSEASONABLY DRY
WEATHER PERSISTING. BEYOND THAT...THE DETAILS OF ANY WEAK FRONTS
PASSING THROUGH WILL BE VERY TRICKY ESPECIALLY BEYOND 2-3 DAYS INTO
THE FORECAST. STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
BUT THE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN TRENDING DRIER WITH SOME OF THE MODEL RUNS
COMPLETELY DRY. AAD

&&

.AVIATION...
PATCHY AREAS OF FOG AND STRATUS CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE COAST AND
INTERIOR VALLEYS. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE HAS INCREASED HIGH CLOUD
COVER ACROSS THE REGION AND THIS HAS RESTRICTED FOG DEVELOPMENT
TONIGHT. STILL EXPECT SOME IFR CONDITIONS EARLY THIS MORNING BEFORE
ANY REMAINING FOG/STRATUS DISSIPATES BY LATE MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH GUSTY NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS ALONG THE COAST. RPA

&&

.MARINE...
MODELS ARE IN RATHER GREAT AGREEMENT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH
REGARD TO THE NORTHERLY WINDS AND CURRENT GALE CONDITIONS. WIND
GUSTS UP TO...AND AT TIMES EXCEEDING...40 KT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
OUTER WATERS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE A GRADUAL WEAKENING
TREND TAKES OVER AS THE THERMAL TROUGH WEAKENS. STEEP...SHORT PERIOD
WIND DRIVEN SEAS WILL BUILD TO 16 TO 18 FT MONDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A
FEW FEET HIGHER THEN MODEL GUIDANCE AND A MORE REASONABLE
MAGNITUDE CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH OF THE NORTHERLY WINDS. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY ON THURSDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
APPROACHES THE WATERS. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT OF THE WINDS
SWITCHING TO OUT OF THE SOUTH FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY BUT HAVE
BEEN HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME DETERMINING THEIR MAGNITUDE. NORTHERLIES
SHOULD RETURN BY LATE NEXT WEEKEND. RPA

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.

NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM PDT TUESDAY PZZ450-455.
GALE WARNING UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY PZZ470-475.
