AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
224 PM PST FRI JAN 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK LOW WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW SATURDAY AFTERNOON
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA THIS WEEKEND WILL
COME IN TWO SEPARATE PIECES BEFORE RIDGING AND TRANQUIL WX BUILD
BACK IN FOR THE EXTENDED. MAIN CONCERN IN THE NEAR TERM IS SNOW
LEVELS...WHICH LOOK TO FALL AS LOW AS 3500 FEET DURING THE BULK OF
THE PRECIP BEFORE FALLING TO 3KFT OR SLIGHTLY LOWER AS PRECIP EXITS
THE AREA.

MARINE LAYER QUICKLY ERODED THIS MORNING AS A MOISTURE BOUNDARY
MOVED ONSHORE FROM THE WEST GIVING WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY WX UNDER
INCREASING MID/HIGH CLOUDS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. GFS/NAM
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE MAJOR FEATURES...WITH THE INITIAL FRONT
STILL EXPECTED TO BRING A FEW HOURS OF RAIN TO THE COAST TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL BEHIND THE
FRONT AND UNDERNEATH THE COLD UPPER LOW...THOUGH IT IS WORTH NOTING
THAT THE MODELS HAVE NOW TRENDED SLIGHTLY WARMER FOR EACH OF THE
LAST 3 RUNS. ATTM...LOOKS LIKE SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO NEAR 3500 FT
AS PRECIP BEGINS TO WIND DOWN...BUT ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE MAINLY
LIMITED TO ABOUT 2-4 INCHES ABOVE 4000 FT. AS 18Z SUITE COMES
IN...UPPER LEVEL ENERGY LOOKS A BIT MORE CONSOLIDATED...RESULTING IN
A MORE WELL DEVELOPED SFC LOW AND GREATER PRECIP COVERAGE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE MAIN UPPER LOW.

RIDGING WILL BUILD IN FOR THE EXTENDED...THOUGH FAIRLY STRONG CAA
FROM UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL RESULT IN COOLER TEMPS
OVERALL... ESPECIALLY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. BEYOND THE FCST
PERIOD...MODELS CONTINUE SUGGESTING REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED REX BLOCK OVER THE CENTRAL PAC. A BREAKDOWN
OF THE WEST COAST RIDGE THAT DOMINATED THE WX THRU JAN AND THE FIRST
10 DAYS OR SO OF FEB IS VERY LIKELY TO FOLLOW. CLARK

&&

.AVIATION...THE MARINE STRATUS LAYER HAS ERODED ACROSS MUCH OF THE
COASTAL AREAS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT IS EXPECTED TO REFORM DURING THE
EVENING AND MAKE A PUSH FURTHER INLAND THROUGH HUMBOLDT AND DEL
NORTE COUNTIES. MVFR CIGS WILL FALL TO LOCALLY TO IFR NEAR THE COAST
WITH PATCHY MVFR VSBY. STRATUS LAYER IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A PUSH
INLAND THROUGH COASTAL MENDOCINO AND MAY SEE MVFR CIGS IN THE UKIAH
VALLEY EARLY SAT MORNING. CMS

&&

.MARINE...MAINLY LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES THE WATERS. THE
ATTENDANT LOW WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY SUNDAY...WITH NORTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING IN ITS WAKE. THE N
WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
WATERS...AND LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES ALONG THE COAST. SWELL WILL
BEGIN TO RAMP UP AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH A LONG PERIOD WNW SWELL
BUILDING FROM 2 FT AT 19 SECONDS TO 5 FT AT 17 SECONDS BY AROUND
SUNRISE. MEANWHILE A W SWELL OF 7 FT AT 12 SECONDS WILL REMAIN IN
THE WATERS...AND THE TWO WILL BECOME INDISTINGUISHABLE BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AS SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT BUILDS TO 13 FT AT 15 SECONDS.
CMS

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...NONE.
