AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
327 PM PDT FRI MAR 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...THE WET AND COLD PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE WEEKEND
AS A LARGE STORM SYSTEM LINGERS OFFSHORE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...FEW CHANGES NEEDED TO THE GOING FCST AS A LARGE LOW
OFF THE WA COAST SLOWLY DROPS SOUTH. COLD FRONT SWUNG THROUGH
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN ITS WAKE. THE STEADY
PRECIP IS STILL FALLING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND WILL LET THE WSW
RIDE UNTIL 6 PM. WE HAVE HAD REPORTS OF OVER A FOOT OF SNOW ABOVE
3000 FT...BUT REPORTS DOWN TO 2500 FT WERE FAR LESS DUE TO WARM
AIR MIXING INTO MANY OF THE VALLEYS LAST NIGHT. COLD AIR WILL
CONTINUE TO FILTER IN OVERNIGHT WILL SNOW FALLING AOB 2000 FT.
MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL BE SHOWERY UNDERNEATH THE COLD CORE
LATER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. WITH THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE
SHOWERS AND SUCH COLD AIR ALOFT...SNOW SHOWERS MAY FALL AS LOW AS
500 FT...BUT AT THIS ELEVATION NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. WITH
NUMEROUS SHORTWAVES BEING FLUNG OUR WAY FROM THE MAIN UPPER
LOW...SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE WITH SNOW LEVELS HOVERING
AROUND 2000 FT. ALTHOUGH NO ONE PERIOD WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT
QPF...SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO PILE UP AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS CONVECTION. OPEN CELL CU CURRENTLY HEADED FOR
NW CA UNDERNEATH THE COLD UPPER CORE. WITH BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS...CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE BEING REACHED AND SHOWERS/STORMS ARE
BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS...AS SEEN ON CURRENT RADAR PICTURE. SMALL HAIL
IS THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS WITH SUCH LOW FREEZING
LEVELS.

AS THE UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH...A SFC LOW IS FORECAST TO SPIN UP
AROUND 36N 130W AND HEADS FOR SF BAY SUN MORNING. MODELS HAVE
STRUGGLED WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW...WHETHER IT LIFTS NORTH
TO PUSHES INLAND NEAR SF OR LIFTS FURTHER NORTH. STAY TUNED TO FURTHER
FCSTS AS THE LOW PLACEMENT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON QPF AND
WINDS. AS ITS FORECASTED NOW...WINDS WILL BECOME VERY GUSTY ALONG THE
MENDOCINO COAST...BUT NO WIND HEADLINES ARE ANTICIPATED FOR OUR
AREA. LOCATIONS FURTHER SOUTH WILL SEE THE BRUNT OF THE WIND WHERE
HIGH WIND WATCHES HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THE NAM MODELS IS MUCH
STRONGER WITH THIS LOW THAN OTHER MODELS...BUT REGARDLESS...PLENTY
OF MOISTURE WILL BE FLUNG NORTHWARD INTO MENDOCINO CO ON SUN
BRINGING POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW. FOR THIS REASON...WE
WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH ABOVE 3000 FT FOR SUNDAY. LOCATIONS
FURTHER NORTH MAY SEE LOW LEVEL OFFSHORE FLOW...BUT WITH THE UPPER
LOW MOVING OVERHEAD...SHOWERS WILL PERSIST. THE UPPER LOW FINALLY
BEGINS TO FILL AND PUSH EAST ON MON. JCA

FOR NEXT WEEK...BRIEF BREAK IN RAIN ABOUT TUESDAY THOUGH COULD STILL
HAVE A FEW SHOWERS. ANOTHER LOW APPROACHES WED FROM THE PACIFIC WITH
BOTH GFS AND EC HAVING IT ABOUT 36N 130W AND GEM FASTER WITH AN OPEN
TROUGH. THIS LOW MOVES INLAND WITH SPECIFIC TIMING IN QUESTION BUT
SOMEWHERE IN THE WED...WED NIGHT TIME FRAME. YET ANOTHER LOW DROPS
DOWN FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA ABOUT THU. AGAIN MODELS DIFFER IN
TIMING AND STRENGTH BUT STILL HAVE MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW SHOWED
CONTINUED WITH POPS IN THE 50-60 PERCENT VALUES AS SHOWED GET SOME
RAIN. DEAN

&&

.AVIATION...AFTERNOON VIS/IFR SAT PICTURES INDICATED NUMEROUS OPEN
CELL CUMULUS ROTATING ACROSS NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. THIS POST FRONTAL
CONVECTION WILL TRACK ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. SOME
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ENHANCED AS A SERIES OF TROUGHS
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH WILL ALSO INTRODUCE THE ADDITIONAL
THREAT OF HAIL...GUSTY WINDS...POSSIBLE LIGHTNING AND OCCASIONAL
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TO THE AREAS' AIRPORTS. IN THE HIGHER THE
ELEVATIONS...SNOW WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN AT LOCAL AIRPORTS.
BASICALLY...NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WILL EXPERIENCE A "MIXED BAG" WITH
A COLD UNSTABLE AIR MASS POOLING IN. TA

&&

.MARINE...WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED ACROSS THE WATERS BUT SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AND A LARGE WEST SWELL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT.  THE W SWELL SHOULD PEAK AROUND 17 FT OFFSHORE AND 15
FT NEAR SHORE TONIGHT WITH PERIODS OF 12 TO 14 SECONDS. HAVE
MAINTAINED THE CURRENT HAZ SEAS WARNING THROUGH SAT MORNING WHILE
THE OUTER WATERS WILL CONTINUE SEE LOW END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS THROUGH SAT EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL COME DOWN SAT NIGHT AS
THE GRADIENT RELAXES AND THE SWELL FADES. MODELS REMAIN IN DECENT
AGREEMENT ON THE CURRENT UPPER LOW MOVING SOUTH TOWARD THE BAY
AREA ON SUN. THIS WILL HELP SPAWN AN INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW
CAUSING AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS S OF SHELTER COVE AND MORE
TOWARD FORT BRAGG AND POINT ARENA. THESE WINDS WILL BE OFFSHORE
WINDS AND COULD PRODUCE GALE CONDITIONS FOR THE OUTER WATERS. DURING
LOW PASSAGE, OFFSHORE WINDS WILL PREVAIL ALL ALONG THE COAST. THIS
IS EXPECTED TO LAST FROM SUN NIGHT INTO MON. MODELS ALSO DEVELOP
A SIMILAR SURFACE LOW INTO THE SAME AREA LATE TUE INTO WED...WITH
STRONG SOUTHEASTERLIES (>35 KT).  ATTM OFFICE CONSENSUS WAS TO REDUCE
THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WINDS DURING THIS PERIOD BY ABOUT HALF. TONKIN
