AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
336 PM PST THU NOV 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THIS EVENING. SHOWER COVERAGE WILL
INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW AS THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP
TO AROUND 2500 FT BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS ARE LIKELY AGAIN ON
SATURDAY WITH ONLY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE COLD FRONT HAS SLID SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA AND
SOME POST FRONTAL SHOWERS ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING UP ON RADAR.
DROPPED POPS TO CHANCE AND LOWERED SKY COVER TO PARTLY CLOUDY FOR
THIS EVENING. LATER TONIGHT THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING DOWN ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING
A SHOT OF COLD AIR DOWN AND INCREASE THE SHOWER COVERAGE. THIS
WILL LOWER SNOW LEVELS TO AROUND 2500 FT BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW
ADVISORY ABOVE 3000 FT LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE AS AMOUNTS BELOW
3000 FT SHOULD BE LESS THAN 2 INCHES. RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A QUARTER INCH TO AN
INCH AND A HALF OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE NORTH. SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 3 TO 5
INCHES ABOVE 3000 FT. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN
HUMBODLT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES.

FRIDAY NIGHT THERE IS A BRIEF BREAK IN THE SHOWERS BEFORE AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES DOWN THE COAST OFFSHORE ON SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. THERE ARE SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH THE GFS KEEPING THE
AREA MOSTLY DRY AND THE PRECIP MAINLY OFFSHORE. THE ECMWF STILL
BRINGS MORE PRECIP ONSHORE AND BRINGS THE LOW SOUTH SLOWER SO KEPT
SOME POPS IN ON SUNDAY AS WELL. THIS WILL NEED TO MONITORED WITH
FUTURE MODEL RUNS TO SEE WHICH SOLUTION IS IN PLACE.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT LOOKS FAIRLY DRY WITH A WEAK
RIDGE IN PLACE OVER THE AREA SO KEPT VERY LOW POPS IN THOSE
PERIODS. TUESDAY THE NEXT SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO IMPACT THE AREA.
THE GFS IS HINTING AT SOME SORT OF WARM FRONT ON TUESDAY BRINGING
SOME LIGHT PRECIP TO THE AREA IN THE NORTH. TUESDAY NIGHT THERE
MIGHT BE A BRIEF BREAK BEFORE THE MAIN COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO
MOVE THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING A GOOD SHOT OF RAIN
WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF COLD SHOWERS BEHIND IT. INITIALLY SNOW
LEVELS LOOK TO BE FAIRLY HIGH FALLING BEHIND THE FRONT. THE ECMWF
IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THIS FRONT. MODELS ARE SHOWING A STRONG
LOW LEVEL JET TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM.
925 MB WINDS ARE SHOWING 50 KTS. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED IN
FUTURE FORECASTS.

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THE CWA. SAT IMAGERY
SHOWS AN AREA OF POST FRONTAL SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
CWA SO EXPECT MVFR TO VFR CIGS TO CONTINUE DURING THE AFTERNOON. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR-IFR TONIGHT AS ANOTHER
DISTURBANCE BRINGS -RA AS IT PASSES ACROSS THE REGION.

.MARINE...A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THE WATERS AND INLAND. THE
WINDS HAVE SHIFTED TO THE SW BEHIND THE FRONT. W-SW WINDS WILL
PREVAIL OVER THE WATERS THIS EVENING WITH WINDS INCREASING TO
ADVISORY LEVELS OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS BY FRI. NW SWELL WILL BUILD
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH ADVISORY LEVEL SEAS EXPANDING INTO THE
SRN WATERS LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THIS SWELL WILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD LATE TONIGHT. NW SWELL WILL PEAK AROUND 18-21
FT AT 15 SECS OVER THE OUTER WATERS FRI WITH 14-17 FT EXPECTED
CLOSER TO SHORE. THIS WILL RESULT IN BREAKERS BUILDING TO NEAR 20
FT FRI. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS SWELL TRAIN AS A COUPLE OF
FT LARGER OR A SECOND OR TWO SLOWER WOULD WARRANT A HIGH SURF
ADVISORY ALONG THE COAST. NW SWELL WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THROUGH
THE WEEKEND BUT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS
THROUGH SUN. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE WATERS EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH SLY GALES AND STEEP SHORT PERIOD SEAS EXPECTED THE
