AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1213 PM PST FRI NOV 30 2012

.UPDATE...SAT AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOW A LULL IN THE PRECIP ALONG
THE COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
INTERIOR AS MOIST ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES. THE NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL
BEGIN TO IMPACT THE REGION WITH INCREASING PRECIP CHCS THIS
EVENING. ISSUED QUICK UPDATE TO THE FIRST PERIOD TO REFLECT
CURRENT TRENDS.
&&

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TODAY ESPECIALLY INLAND...WITH
A PERIOD OF STEADIER RAIN TONIGHT ACROSS NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. A
STRONGER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING SEVERAL MORE INCHES OF RAIN AND
STRONG WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 502 AM PST FRI NOV 30 2012... ONE
SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM DOWN WITH ANOTHER MAJOR STORM EXPECTED
SATURDAY NIGHT. UNTIL THEN NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WILL BE IN A LULL
OF SORTS...ALTHOUGH PERSISTENT MOIST WSW FLOW ALONG WITH ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH TONIGHT WILL STILL KEEP US WET. WINDS
ARE STILL RATHER GUSTY ALONG THE COAST AND ABOVE 2500 FEET WITH
SOME GUSTS OVER 40 MPH OVER THE WINDIER RIDGETOPS...BUT WILL ONLY
CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE TODAY. STEADY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LEVEL
JET AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE PLUME HAVE SHIFTED SOUTH OUT OF THE
AREA BUT SHOWERS CONTINUE...MAINLY OVER THE INLAND HIGHER TERRAIN
WITH MOIST WSW FLOW BEING ENHANCED BY UPSLOPE FLOW. ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE IN THE FLOW MAY ENHANCE THIS ACTIVITY FROM THE KING
RANGE SOUTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE SIGNIFICANT
SHORTWAVE DOING THE SAME FOR THE NORTH COAST TONIGHT. NEITHER OF
THESE WAVES WILL HAVE THE MOISTURE CONNECTION THAT THURSDAYS
SYSTEM HAD...WITH PWS UNDER AN INCH AND DRY AIR ABOVE 600MB OR SO.
WINDS WILL INCREASE SOME THIS EVENING AND BUFKIT ACTUALLY
INDICATES SOME POTENTIAL TO TRANSFER WIND DOWN TO THE SFC IN THE
MORE CONVECTIVE REGIME. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR A WIND ADVISORY
BUT AT THIS POINT THINK STRONGEST WINDS WILL ONLY APPROACH
CRITERIA FOR A BRIEF TIME THIS EVENING. RAIN MAY BE BRIEFLY HEAVY
IN SHOWERS BUT IT LOOKS SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE THAN THIS
MORNING...SO ANYTHING MORE THAN AN ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE IS
NOT LIKELY. DO NOT EXPECT ENOUGH WIDESPREAD PERSISTENT RAINFALL TO
WARRANT A FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT BUT LOCALIZED URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOODING CANNOT BE RULED OUT ESPECIALLY AROUND CRESCENT CITY
TONIGHT.

SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY WITH A RELATIVE LULL BEFORE A
THE CLIMAX OF THIS BARRAGE OF PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS ARRIVE. ANOTHER
2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN IS LIKELY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO WITH 3 TO 5
INCHES FROM THE KING RANGE SOUTHWARD...ALTHOUGH UPSLOPE AREAS WILL
EASILY EXCEED 6 INCHES...MOST OF WHICH WILL FALL IN A 6 TO 10 HOUR
PERIOD BETWEEN SATURDAY EVENING AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
ADDITIONALLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN WITH 60-70KT LOW LEVEL JET
JUST ABOVE 2000FT. ANOTHER HIGH WIND WARNING MAY BE NECESSARY FOR
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT WITH A WIND ADVISORY A GOOD POSSIBILITY
OTHER AREAS. FORTUNATELY BUFKIT INDICATES RELATIVELY STABLE PROFILES
WHICH WILL NOT PROMOTE MUCH MIXING OF THESE WINDS TO THE SFC. IN ANY
CASE WILL LIKELY NEED ANOTHER FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS PERIOD...WITH
RIVER FLOODING A GOOD BET ON PORTIONS OF THE EEL...NAVARRO...AND
RUSSIAN RIVERS ON SUNDAY.

FINALLY LOOKS LIKE AN END TO THE RAIN LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS
DRIER AIR WITH HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES...BUT MODELS ARE ALREADY IN
GOOD AGREEMENT ON ANOTHER WARM AND WET STORM SYSTEM TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.  AAD
&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL AT ALL OF THE
AIRPORTS TODAY IN PERIODS OF -SHRA. BRIEF DROPS TO IFR ARE POSSIBLE
IN SOME OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS, BUT UNCERTAINTY IN LOCATION IS HIGH,
SO IT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE TAFS. SOUTHERLY GUSTS SHOULD CONTINUE
ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TODAY.
&&

.MARINE...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO HOVER OVER
THE WEST COAST. WINDS ARE EASING THIS MORNING AS SOME OF THE ENERGY
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH MOVES INLAND. BUOYS ARE SHOWING SOUTH
WINDS AROUND 15 TO 25 KT AND NO GALE FORCE GUSTS. THIS IS BACKED UP
BY THE 06Z ASCAT PASS, WHICH SHOWED WINDS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS OF
20 TO 25 KT. GIVEN THIS DATA, DROPPED THE GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL OF
THE WATERS AND REPLACED THEM WITH SCA'S. SHORT PERIOD SOUTHERLY
WAVES SHOULD SLOWLY SUBSIDE TODAY WHILE LONGER PERIOD WESTERLY WAVES
MAY BUILD SLIGHTLY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL CROSS THE WATERS LATE
THIS EVENING. AS THIS DISTURBANCE CROSSES WINDS WILL INCREASE
SLIGHTLY. ISSUED A GALE WARNING FOR ZONE 470 FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
OVERNIGHT, MAINLY FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS. DEBATED HOLDING OFF ON THIS
AND GOING WITH A HIGH END SCA WITH OCCASIONAL GALE FORCE GUSTS. BUT
WITH SEAS APPROACHING 20 FT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A HAZARDOUS SEAS
WARNING FOR TONIGHT FELT IT WAS EASIER TO GO WITH A GALE WARNING
RATHER THAN RISK HAVING TO JUMP AROUND FROM A SCA TO A HAZARDOUS
SEAS WARNING TO A GALE WARNING. THE HIGHEST WINDS WILL BE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE ZONE. SOUTHERLY WAVES WILL ALSO BUILD SOME
AS THIS DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH. EXPECT A BRIEF BREAK IN THE WINDS
ON SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY THEM STRENGTHENING TO NEAR GALE FORCE AGAIN
SATURDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH. SIMPLY PUT,
WAVES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE WEEKEND, MAINLY
FROM THE SOUTH AND THE WEST. THE FORECAST HAS THE DETAILS.
&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
