AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
315 PM PDT SUN MAY 6 2012

.SYNOPSIS...OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO HOLD THROUGH MONDAY AND
PRODUCE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE EXPECTED
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...TEMPERATURES WERE UP +10F ACROSS MOST OF THE
INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE COASTAL AREAS WERE ONLY +2 TO +5F
WARMER BUT WITH MUCH LESS WIND CHILL. ALSO...24 RH CHANGES WERE
DOWN MOST EVERYWHERE EXCEPT ALONG THE COAST NEAR SEA LEVEL WHERE
RH'S WERE UP 10-15%. OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD RESUME TONIGHT AND KEEP
STRATUS AND FOG TO A MINIMUM. SUSPECT THERE WILL STILL BE LOCALIZED
LOW CLOUD/FOG DEVELOPMENT LATE TONIGHT IN THE EEL DELTA AND AROUND
HUMB-BAY. EXPECT SHALLOW STRATUS AND FOR IT TO MIX OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY
WITH HEATING ON MONDAY.

WITH WARMING ALOFT AND THE TENDENCY FOR BUILDING ONSHORE
FLOW...STRATUS/FOG WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY DOMINANT BY MID WEEK.
THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK SHORT-WAVE TROUGH INTO THE PAC NW TUE/WED
WILL AID IN THE DEVELOP OF A MARINE PUSH AND PERHAPS LIGHT MISTY
DRIZZLE ALONG THE COAST. GFS AND ECWMF 500MB FLOW FALL SLIGHTLY
OUT OF SYNC ON THU...BUT BOTH MODELS INDICATE DRY WEAX WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPS PREVAILING THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY. HARD TO TELL HOW
MUCH WARMING IF ANY WE WILL SEE LATER IN THE WEEK AND THE EXTENT
OF COASTAL CLOUDS. THUS WILL MAINTAIN NEAR STEADY STATE TEMPS.
OFFSHORE FLOW LOOKS TO WIPE OUT THE STRATUS/FOG THU AND FRI...THOUGH
THIS IS STILL SKETCHY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THRU THE NEXT 24
HRS. MAY BE MORE LOW CIGS NEAR THE COAST AND IN THE EEL RIVER VALLEY
LATER TONIGHT. STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION AT LOWER HEIGHT THAN 24
HRS AGO EVIDENT TO THE S ON 12Z KOAK SOUNDING WITH NO LITTLE OR NO
LOW-LEVEL INVERSION TO THE N ON THE KMFR SOUNDING. /SEC

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE OFFSHORE WITH THERMAL TROF
OVER LAND WITH TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND MODERATE TO STRONG N
WINDS CONTINUING THRU THE PERIOD...PARTICULARLY OVER THE OFFSHORE
WATERS. NEXT BATCH OF GALES STILL LOOKS LIKE THEY WON'T OCCUR UNTIL
TUE NIGHT ALTHO GUSTS WILL FLIRT WITH 35 KTS EARLIER. AS A RESULT...
NO GALE WATCHES ARE REQUIRED. HOWEVER...HAVE EXTENDED THE OFFSHORE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRU LATE THU. NEAR SHORE ADVISORY CONTINUES
UNTIL LATE TONIGHT WITH A RETURN TO ADVISORY CONDITIONS EXPECTED BY
TUE OR WED. POPULATED WIND WAVES IN THE SHORT TERM WITH MAIN SWAN
WAVE GROUP AND MANUALLY ADDED A NW BACKGROUND SWELL AT 3 FT WHICH
CONTINUES TO MATCH OBS. /SEC
