AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
410 AM PDT SAT AUG 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN HOT TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS
ACROSS INTERIOR LOCATIONS. ALONG THE COAST...EXPECT NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH CLOUDS AND FOG EACH NIGHT AND MORNING.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING WHILE A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH TAKES SHAPE
OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. THE THERMAL TROUGH HAS NOW
STRETCHED OFF THE COAST BEGINNING A FLOW REVERSAL NEAR THE IMMEDIATE
COAST. STRATUS HAS BEEN SLOWLY EXPANDING BOTH IN THE NORTHERLY FLOW
OFF THE COAST AND WITHIN THE REVERSAL SOUTHERLY FLOW SOUTH OF POINT
ARENA AND NORTH OF EUREKA. THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR AREAS TO CLEAR OUT AS EASILY TODAY...HOWEVER OFFSHORE FLOW NORTH
OF CRESCENT CITY WILL MIX DRY AIR INTO THE MARINE LAYER ALLOWING
AREAS NORTH OF THE KLAMATH TO CLEAR OUT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
SOUTH OF THE CAPE THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH NEARSHORE
STRATUS INTO THE MENDOCINO COAST AND MAY LEAD TO INCREASING CLOUD
COVER THROUGH THE DAY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. HOWEVER IF THE
NORTHERLY FLOW WINS OUT LATER THIS AFTERNOON CLEAR SKIES WILL BE
MAINTAINED...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT COAST. MODELS
INDICATE THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD INCREASE AT 850 MB TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. CONSIDERING THE MODELS ARE NOTORIOUSLY POOR AT
FORECASTING SOUTHERLY FLOW ALONG THE COAST THE BEST INDICATOR IS
USUALLY THE THERMAL TROUGH PUSHING OFF THE COAST AT 925 OR 850 MB.
THUS WILL FORECAST INCREASING CLOUD COVER ALONG THE MENDOCINO AND
SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT COASTS WITH PERSISTENT CLOUDS SUNDAY ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST.

FARTHER INLAND VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE RIDGE SETTLES DIRECTLY OVER THE
CWA. THE FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURE IN UKIAH THIS AFTERNOON IS
106F...A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE RECORD HIGH OF 109F SET IN 1935. THE
HEAT WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE THE DEVELOPING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH OFF THE COAST MOVES INTO THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
COAST MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. DRIZZLE MAY DEVELOP DURING THE MORNING
HOURS IN THE COASTAL STRATUS BEFORE THE SHORTWAVE WEAKENS ON TUESDAY
IN RESPONSE TO A STRENGTHENING UPPER LOW OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
COAST. SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS LOW MAY BRING MONSOONAL MOISTURE
INTO THE REGION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS LATE
NEXT WEEK. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...SAT IMAGERY SHOWS STRATUS ALONG THE REDWOOD COAST AND
COASTAL RIVER VALLEYS AND SOME STARTING TO DEVELOP AROUND PT ARENA.
IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THESE AREAS THIS MORNING WITH
CLEARING TOWARDS THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON. AGAIN CLEARING EXPECTED
FROM N TO S WITH STRATUS MORE PERSISTENT FOR AREAS S OF TRINIDAD
HEAD WHERE CIGS MAY LIFT TO MVFR THIS AFTERNOON. A COUPLE OF HOURS
OF BKNVSCT SKIES POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT CONFIDENCE IS
LOW SO WILL MAINTAIN CIGS AT ACV THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. STRATUS/FG
WILL REDEVELOP AND MOVE INLAND AGAIN THIS EVENING BRINGING IFR
CONDITIONS TO THE COAST. ACROSS THE INTERIOR...HOT TEMPS AND VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...MDT TO GALE FORCE NORTHERLIES WILL BEGIN TO EASE FROM S TO
N TODAY AS THERMAL TROUGH PUSHES N. 05Z ASCAT PASS SHOWED WIDE
COVERAGE OF 20-30 KT OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS AND 05Z SHIP OB OF 36
KT SUPPORT CONTINUED GALES OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WINDS WILL EASE
BELOW GALES OVER PZZ475 THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO EASE
SUN WITH THE MAIN FCST CHALLENGE BEING AREAL COVERAGE OF GALES
ACROSS PZZ470. ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY EASE BELOW GALE FORCE FOR MUCH OF
THE ZONE SUN NIGHT...ELECTED TO MAINTAIN GALE WARNING AS SEAS WILL
BE SLOWER TO SUBSIDE AND WINDS WILL RISE AGAIN MON. BUOY OBS REPORT
SIG WAVE HEIGHT AROUND 10 FT WITH A DOMINANT PERIODS OF 6-8 SECONDS.
THIS IS BORDERLINE HAZ SEAS CRITERIA...AND WITH WINDS AND SEAS
PEAKING EARLY THIS MORNING...ENDED HAZ SEAS WARNINGS THIS MORNING.
HIGH PRES OFFSHORE COMBINED WITH THERMAL TROUGH ACROSS THE INTERIOR
WILL MAINTAIN MDT-GALE FORCE NORTHERLIES AND STEEP...SHORT PERIOD
SEAS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
LATE IN THE WEEK AS BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE HIGH PRES
OFFSHORE WEAKENING AND SHIFTING W AS A CLOSED UPPER LOW DEVELOPS OFF
THE CA COAST.

&&

CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY PZZ450.
