Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 4:10 AM PST, 10 hours 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
410 AM PST FRI JAN 7 2011
.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN DRY AND STABLE WEATHER
THROUGH FRIDAY. A FRONT WILL BRUSH THE AREA WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN
FRIDAY NIGHT. COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS IN THE NORTH ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE DRY WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY. MID TO TO LATE WEEK A RETURN
TO A WETTER PATTERN IS EXPECTED..
&&
.DISCUSION... MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TODAY IS VALLEY FOG AND
MARINE STRATUS. VALLEY FOG IS PRESENT IN MANY INLAND VALLEYS.
EXPECT THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES LOW IN THE NORTHERN VALLEYS AS
IT HAS THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. AREAS OF COASTAL STRATUS HAVE MOVED
IN ALONG MUCH OF THE COAST DUE TO WEAK NORTHERLY FLOW. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO PERSIST THIS MORNING DIMINISHING SLIGHTLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN EXACTLY HOW WIDESPREAD THE STRATUS
WILL BE DUE TO WEAK WIND FLOW.
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON BRINGING A COLD FRONT DOWN FROM
THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE MAIN ENERGY PASSES WELL TO THE NORTH OF
OUR AREA SO ONLY EXPECT VERY LIGHT RAINFALL AMOUNTS. RAINFALL WILL
MAINLY BE CONFINED TO ALONG THE COAST NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO
WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL ENHANCE WHAT LITTLE MOISTURE AND LIFT
THERE IS.
SATURDAY NIGHT MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON ANOTHER SHOT OF
ENERGY MOVING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TROUGH. 850 TEMPS DROP TO -4C
OVER KCEC BY 12Z SUNDAY. IN ADDITION TO THIS A 130KT JET STREAM
MOVES OVER THE AREA. SO INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS THERE
COULD BE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OR DRIZZLE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
A RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PROMOTE
GOOD RADITIONAL COOLING INLAND. MONDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO BE THE
COLDEST AT THIS POINT. WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO KEEP
COASTAL CLOUDS OFFSHORE SO NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
AT THE COAST AS WELL.
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE ECMWF AND 00Z GFS TRANSITION US BACK TO
A WETTER PATTERN WITH A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA. THE 06Z GFS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT AND KEEPS US MUCH
DRIER WITH ONLY ONE SHOT OF PRECIP LATE THURSDAY. IF THIS TREND IN
THE GFS CONTINUES POPS MAY NEED TO BE LOWERED. FOR NOW KEPT POPS
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO. MKK
&&
.AVIATION...STRATUS AND FOG HAS FILLED THE EEL RIVER DELTA AS WELL
AS MANY INTERIOR VALLEYS EARLY THIS MORNING. A STRATUS DECK IS
HANGING 10-20 NM OFFSHORE OF THE NORTH COAST DUE TO A WEAK OFFSHORE
GRADIENT...BUT SHOULD SLOWLY PUSH BACK TOWARD SHORE. KUKI IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CONDS THROUGH 17Z BEFORE SKIES
CLEAR. COASTAL TAF SITES ARE MUCH TRICKIER...WITH STRATUS MOVING
NORTH ACROSS HUMBOLDT BAY TOWARD KACV. WE WILL INTRODUCE A PERIOD OF
IFR CONDS EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN AN MVFR CLOUD DECK SHOULD
PERSIST UNDER INCREASING NORTHERLY FLOW. KCEC MAY ESCAPE IFR CONDS
THIS MORNING...EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AROUND SUNRISE...BUT
OVERALL EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO MOVE IN BY MID-MORNING. JCA
&&
.MARINE...A MODERATE W SWELL (PEAKING AROUND 12 FT AT 16 SEC
CURRENTLY) WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL PASS NORTH OF THE AREA...BUT NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE IN ITS
WAKE ON SAT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN OFFSHORE. BOTH WINDS AND SEAS
WILL BE RELATIVELY LOW EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE SOUTH WINDS RAMP UP IN
ADVANCE OF A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM. JCA
&&
.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3 AM PST SATURDAY PZZ450.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3 AM PST SUNDAY PZZ455-470.
