AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
430 AM PDT MON OCT 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE DAY WILL START OUT DAMP AND FOGGY ALONG THE COAST TODAY WITH
EVEN SOME CLOUDS INLAND. EXPECT A DRYING TREND THIS AFTERNOON WITH
SOME SUNSHINE ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. TUESDAY WILL
FEATURE A SIMILAR DAY WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS. A COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY WITH A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ALTHOUGH SFC GRADIENT IS VERY WEAK ACROSS THE NW CALIFORNIA COAST
THIS HOUR THERE IS A DECENT MARINE PUSH ALOFT AHEAD OF A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH PASSING TO OUR NORTH. ESSENTIALLY THE TAIL END OF A WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THIS MORNING WHICH WILL ACT TO LIFT THE
ALREADY DEEP MARINE LAYER IN PLACE AND RESULT IN SOME DRIZZLE THIS
MORNING...MAINLY ALONG THE NORTH COAST AND ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE
OREGON BORDER. CURRENTLY CEILING HEIGHTS ABOVE THE SHALLOW FOG LAYER
ARE 3-4KFT WITH INLAND PENETRATION AS FAR AS WEAVERVILLE AND UKIAH.
DESPITE THIS DEPTH WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SUNSHINE IN THE
WAKE OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AS WESTERLY WINDS MIX SOME DRIER AIR
THROUGH THE LOWEST SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET.

HEADING INTO TONIGHT EXPECT SIMILAR SENSIBLE WEATHER AS LAST NIGHT
WITH EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS RETURNING TO THE COAST AND PENETRATING FAR
INLAND. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ESPECIALLY
NORTHWARD NEAR THE OREGON BORDER AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES
THE NW COAST AND ATMOSPHERIC RIVER SETS UP TO THE NORTH OF CAPE
BLANCO. INITIAL SURGE OF WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL PASS BY TONIGHT
WHICH MAY ENHANCE SOME DRIZZLE ALONG THE NORTH COAST. OTHERWISE
HEADING INTO THE DAY TUESDAY EXPECT SOME DRYING AS THE FLOW
AMPLIFIES AND THE MOISTURE PLUME LIFTS NORTHWARD A BIT AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON SLIGHTLY
SLOWER TIMING OF THE FRONT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SO ADJUSTED POP AND
QPF GRIDS ACCORDINGLY. INITIALLY PARENT SYSTEM WILL BE OCCLUDING AS
THE FRONT ARRIVES WHICH MAY SLOW ITS PROGRESS A BIT BEFORE THE NEXT
UPSTREAM TROUGH ACTS AS A KICKER...ALLOWING THE CLOSED LOW TO OPEN
UP AND QUICKLY PUSH OFF TO THE EAST HEADING INTO THURSDAY. RAINFALL
LOOKS TO BE ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH MUCH OF THAT FALLING
WITHIN A 6 HOUR PERIOD AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THE OTHER
HAZARD TO KEEP AN EYE ON WILL BE SOUTHERLY WINDS...WHICH WILL BEGIN
INCREASING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MAY END UP WITH JUST BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA ALONG THE NORTH COAST WITH MODELS SHOWING 30-40KTS IN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER. AAD

&&

.LONG TERM...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN QUICKLY BEHIND FROPA WED
NIGHT INTO THU MORNING. THIS WILL CAUSE POST FRONTAL SHOWER ACTIVITY
TO BE LIMITED. AS SUCH HAVE LOWERED POPS FOR THU TO AROUND 30 TO 50
PERCENT. BY THU EVE SHOWERS WILL BE DONE, IF MODELS ARE CORRECT.
MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE RIDGE DEVELOPING, SO NO
REASON TO GO AGAINST THEM. ALSO HAVE DECREASED SKY COVER ALLOW FOR
PARTLY CLOUDY WORDING IN THE FORECAST FOR MOST LOCATION THU INTO
FRI. DESPITE A RIDGE LATE IN THE WEEK, MODELS ARE SHOWING A WEAK
BOUNDARY TRYING TO SLIP OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE COME THE WEEKEND.
AGAIN, MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SO HAVE KEPT POPS UP OVER DEL
NORTE FOR ON SUN. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW DIRTY THE RIDGE
REALLY ENDS UP BEING. HAVE ALSO KEPT MORE CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION
AS A RESULT OF THE BOUNDARY TRYING TO GET IN HERE NEXT WEEKEND.
OVERALL, NO SIGNIFICANT PRECIP IS EXPECTED BETWEEN THU AFTERNOON AND
NEXT MONDAY. SO IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. BFG

&&

.AVIATION...
RATHER VARIABLE CONDITIONS THIS MORNING ALONG THE COAST WITH
GENERALLY A SHALLOW LAYER OF FOG AND VISIBILITIES DOWN AS LOW AS A
QUARTER MILE AT TIMES ALONG WITH CIGS AROUND 200 FT. OCCASIONALLY
THIS SHALLOW LAYER IS BREAKING AND LEAVING A CEILING ANYWHERE FROM
1-3KFT AND VSBYS OVER 5SM. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH CHANGE IN THESE
CONDITIONS UNTIL AFTER 18Z OR SO...AT WHICH POINT A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
PASSING BY MAY ALLOW FOR SOME DRIER AIR TO MIX IN. THIS SHOULD AT
LEAST PROMOTE IMPROVED VISIBILITIES WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME
SCATTERING OUT OF THE CLOUD COVER. FURTHER INLAND AT KUKI CIG AROUND
1500FT BUT GOOD VSBYS WILL BREAK AROUND 17Z. AAD

&&

.MARINE...ANOTHER DAY OF LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS IS
EXPECTED TODAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS RELAXED. THIS WILL
ALL CHANGE COME TUE AS A STRONG FRONT APPROACHES THE COASTAL WATERS.
MODEL VARY SLIGHTLY IN TERMS OF TIMING, BUT ALL ARE SHOWING A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WITH
HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND THE FRONT
APPROACHING THE PAC NW COAST, GALE CONDITIONS SEEM LIKELY.
THEREFORE, HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR TUE EVE THU WED EVE. AS
TIMING BECOMES BETTER REFINED, WILL LIKELY UPGRADE TO A WARNING.
REGARDLESS, PREFRONTAL WINDS WILL BE NEAR GALE AT MIN OVER THE OUTER
WATERS WITH ASSOCIATED SEAS. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING
A RIDGE DEVELOPING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. THIS WILL ALLOW
CONDITIONS TO DIMINISH BY THU NIGHT INTO FRI, IF NOT A LITTLE
EARLIER. IN CONJUNCTION WITH FRONTAL CONDITIONS, STORMS ACROSS THE N
PACIFIC CONTINUE TO SEND LONGER PERIOD WAVE GROUPS TO THE WEST
COAST. NOT UNTIL LATE IN THE WEEK WILL SEAS COME DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.
SEE THE MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE FRONT. BFG
