AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
300 PM PST SAT JAN 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A BRIEF DRY PERIOD IS EXPECTED TONIGHT IS EXPECTED
BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING ADDITIONAL RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE VERY GUSTY ALONG COASTAL LOCATIONS AND IN
THE MOUNTAINS SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF THIS EVENING AS A BRIEF
PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER MOVES IN TONIGHT. LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING THE NEXT SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE. THE FIRST WAVE WILL
ARRIVE ON SUNDAY BEFORE ANOTHER WAVE MOVES IN FROM THE PACIFIC.
THIS IS A FAIRLY BIG CHANGE FROM MODELS YESTERDAY BUT THERE SEEMS
TO BE GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MODELS SO HAVE RAISED QPF AMOUNTS FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT. SNOW LEVELS ARE HIGHER WITH THIS SECOND WAVE AS
WELL. SNOW LEVELS WILL INITIALLY BE AROUND 2000 FEET EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. THESE ARE EXPECTED TO RISE THROUGH THE DAY WITH WARM AIR
ADVECTION. EXPECT THEY WILL REMAIN LOW ENOUGH TO SEE 4 TO 6
INCHES SNOWFALL DOWN TO 2500 FT IN TRINITY...DEL NORTE AND
HUMBOLDT COUNTIES. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A CASE WHERE COLD
AIR WILL BE TRAPPED IN THE WEAVERVILLE AND TRINITY CENTER AREAS.
TYPICALLY A CLEAR NIGHT OR TWO IS NEEDED TO ALLOW FOR RADIATIONAL
COOLING SO THE COLD AIR CAN GET INTO THE VALLEY SO IT CAN BE
TRAPPED. SUNDAY NIGHT AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 6 INCHES IS EXPECTED
ABOVE 3500 FEET. CONSIDERED ISSUING A WW ADVISORY FOR ABOVE 3000
FEET IN MENDOCINO COUNTY FOR SUNDAY MORNING...BUT AT THIS POINT IT
LOOKS LIKE SNOW LEVELS WILL COME UP QUICKLY ENOUGH TO KEEP SNOW
AMOUNT LOW. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THIS SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO BE 1
TO 3 INCHES WIDESPREAD WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 5 INCHES OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN.

ALONG THE COAST GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALTHOUGH MODELS HAVE
BACKED OFF SLIGHTLY ON THE STRENGTH. GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED
OVER HIGHER TERRAIN AND IN FAVORED AREAS. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE AROUND MIDDAY SUNDAY MKK

.LONG TERM...MONDAY A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE...HOWEVER
THE DAY LOOKS TO BE MAINLY DRY. THIS SYSTEM DOESN'T LOOK AS DEEP
AS THE PREVIOUS ONE SO EXPECT HAIL IS NOT AS LIKELY WITH ANY
SHOWERS THAT DO OCCUR THIS TIME AROUND. THIS WILL NEED TO BE
LOOKED AT MORE CLOSELY ON THE NEXT SHIFT THOUGH.

LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES BY. AT THE
THIS MODELS KEEP THE MAJORITY OF NORTH OF THE AREA...ALTHOUGH SOME
IS EXPECTED NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO BE OVER
3000 FEET SO DONT ANTICIPATE AN ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED. WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY A STREAM OF SYSTEMS CONTINUES TO MOVE BY TO THE NORTH
OF THE AREA WITH SOME PRECIP SPREADING SOUTH TO CAPE MENDOCINO.
THESE SYSTEMS LOOK WARM AND AT THE MOMENT PRECIP AMOUNTS LOOK
FAIRLY LIGHT. MODELS WOULDN'T HAVE TO SHIFT VERY MUCH FARTHER
SOUTH THOUGH AND WE COULD HAVE A LOT MORE PRECIP. FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY THE RIDGE BUILDS SLIGHTLY AND FINALLY KEEPS THE PRECIP TO
THE NORTH OF OUR AREA. STILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS IN
THE FORECAST IN CASE THE SYSTEMS MOVE BACK SOUTH SLIGHTLY. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE TAF
CYCLE AS SHOWER ACTIVITY DIMINISHES ON THE BACK SIDE OF A UPPER
TROUGH. COASTAL CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TOMORROW MORNING AS
THE NEXT VIGOROUS FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS FRONT WILL
BE ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS AT CEC AND KACV ALONG WITH
PERIODS OF MVFR DUE TO REDUCED CIGS AND VSBYS FROM FROM RAIN.
FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR AT THE COAST BETWEEN 18Z AND
22Z. INTERIOR AREAS WILL NOT SEE THE WIND BUT WILL BE AFFECTED BY
THE RAIN PRODUCING REDUCTION IN VSBYS AND CIGS.

&&

.MARINE...PLENTY OF MARINE HEADLINES IN THE FORECAST AS ANOTHER
POTENT FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATE TOMORROW MORNING. SWELL
HEIGHTS ARE ALREADY HIGH AND WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE IN AT 16 TO 18 FT
THROUGH TONIGHT.  THEY WILL SUBSIDE TOWARD MORNING BUT THEN WIND
WAVES BUILD ON TOP OF THE WEST SWELL ASSOCIATED WITH GALE AND STORM
FORCE WINDS AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT. THUS HAVE MAINTAINED THE STORM
WARNING FOR 50 KT GUSTS OVER THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS AND GALES
ELSEWHERE. IMPROVED CONDITIONS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK AS THE STORM TRACK
SHIFTS FURTHER N WITH ADVISORIES LIKELY MID WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...CURRENTLY NO FLOODING IS FORECAST. THE EEL RIVER AT
FERNBRIDGE IS SLIGHTLY OVER MONITOR STAGE BUT THAT IS EXPECTED TO
DIMINISH TONIGHT. THE NEXT CONCERN IS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING
IN ON SUNDAY. SUNDAY NIGHT THE SECOND VORT MAX TAPS SOME TROPICAL
MOISTURE AND SWINGS THROUGH BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP. THIS
GIVES ABOUT 24 HOURS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIP SO RIVERS WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. MKK

&&

.COASTAL FLOOD...HIGH TIDE AND INCREASED OCEAN LEVELS CAUSED MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING ONCE AGAIN THIS MORNING IN LOW LYING AREAS
AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY. SUNDAY THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE IS NEARLY THE
SAME AND WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUEING TO BLOW EXPECT THERE MAY
BE ONE MORE CHANCE FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IN KING SALMON AND
OTHER LOW LYING AREAS AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY ONCE AGAIN ON SUNDAY
MORNING. SO WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY.
