AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
340 PM PDT SAT JUN 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD AS AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH EXITS THE REGION. A WARMING AND DRYING TREND WILL PERSIST
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WHILE THE COAST SEES MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES FOR
A FEW DAYS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...RAPID WARMING AND DRYING EXPECTED ACROSS THE INTERIOR
ZONES AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILD FROM WEST TO EAST. LITTLE CHANGES MADE
TO CURRENT PACKAGE AS MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE INTERIOR WILL BE ON AN
UPWARD TREND AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE EACH DAY THROUGH MONDAY. BY
SUNDAY...A FEW SITES WILL REACH 90F OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. BRISK NORTH
WINDS AND STRONG MIXING TODAY ALONG THE COAST WILL PROBABLY KEEP
TEMPS FROM GETTING TOO WARM. ON SUNDAY...A THERMAL TROUGH WILL
DEVELOP AND WINDS WILL DECREASE. INVERSION WILL LOWER AND STRENGTHEN
ON SUNDAY AND WE MAY SEE A FEW SLIVERS OF COASTAL STRATUS. SLIGHT
OFFSHORE COMPONENT SHOULD MINIMIZE THE STRATUS. ON MONDAY THE RIDGE
FLATTENS OUT AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO THE PAC NORTHWEST. THIS
SHORTWAVE WILL CREATE A SLIGHT PUSH OF MARINE AIR AND BRING AN
INCREASE IN LOW CLOUDS AND PERHAPS FOG TO THE NORTH COAST BY MONDAY
NIGHT. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANY RADICAL CHANGES ARE IN STORE ON
WED, THU OR FRI. THE GFS AND ECMWF DO SHOW ANOTHER TROUGH SAGGING
SOUTHWARD LATE IN THE WEEK AS A RIDGE PUMPS UP OFFSHORE OVER THE NE
PACIFIC. THIS UPPER TROUGH SEEMS TOO WEAK FOR MUCH THREAT OF
CONVECTION AND CERTAINLY NO PRECIP. WILL STILL NEED TO PAINT 5-10%
CLIMO PRECIP CHANCES IN THE GRIDS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY AND THE
OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR A FEW SPOTTY ONE HUNDREDTHS FROM MISTY DRIZZLE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH STRATUS AT THE COAST AND
BOUNTIFUL SUNSHINE INLAND. DB/JT

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS THE AIRPORTS THIS
AFTERNOON. THE WINDS HAVE BECOME GUSTY FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE COASTAL AREAS. CLOUDINESS WILL INCREASE ALONG
THE COASTAL AREAS OVERNIGHT POSSIBLY DECREASING CEILINGS AT ACV TO
TEMPORARY MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. VFR TO
TEMPORARY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AIRPORTS DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

&&

.MARINE...THE COMBINATION OF A STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC AND A THERMAL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS OF CALIFORNIA HAS BEGAN TO TIGHTEN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONTINUES OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS SOUTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. A GALE
WARNING...DUE TO WIND GUSTS INCREASING TO GALE FORCE...IS IN EFFECT
FOR ZONE 475. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT ACROSS ZONE 470.
HAVE CONTINUED THE GALE WATCH FOR ZONE 470 STARTING AROUND MIDDAY
SUNDAY. THE WINDS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN INCREASE AGAIN LATE THIS UPCOMING WEEK.
THE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NORTH ON THURSDAY AND A GALE
WARNING MAY BE NECESSARY ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY.

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...GALE WATCH FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON PZZ470. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 11
PM PDT THIS EVENING FOR THE PZZ455. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3
PM PDT THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE PZZ475. GALE WARNING FROM 3 PM THIS
