Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 4:52 AM PST, 10 hours 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
452 AM PST MON FEB 27 2012
.SYNOPSIS...CHILLY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST TODAY AND
TONIGHT. SUNSHINE MONDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASING CLOUDS
TUESDAY. TUESDAY AFTERNOON A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA
BRINGING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...A COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS CURRENTLY OVER THE
AREA. THIS HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO DROP BELOW FREEZING IN
INLAND AREAS WHILE WINDS AND SOME SCATTERED CLOUDS HAVE KEPT THEM
UP ALONG THE COAST. TODAY MUCH OF THE AREA LOOKS TO REMAIN MAINLY
DRY AND COOL WITH THE TROUGH OVERHEAD. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF TRINITY...ALTHOUGH THESE WILL BE
ISOLATED. TONIGHT SHOULD BE ANOTHER FAIRLY CHILLY NIGHT WITH
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE ALONG THE
COAST WHERE WINDS WILL BE TURNING SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
INTERIOR VALLEYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE CALM AND MAINLY CLEAR ALLOWING
THEM TO EASILY DROP INTO THE LOW 20S AGAIN.
TUESDAY CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY BEGIN TO INCREASE AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING SYSTEM AND WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY. BY EARLY
AFTERNOON SOME LIGHT WARM ADVECTION PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO START.
INITIALLY AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. TUESDAY EVENING PRECIP WILL BEGIN
TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES. SNOW LEVELS WILL INITIALLY BE AROUND 1500 FEET ACROSS
THE AREA WHEN THE PRECIP STARTS. WITH THE WARM ADVECTION SNOW
LEVELS WILL RISE TO AROUND 2000 FEET IN THE NORTH TO 3000 FEET IN
THE SOUTH. NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
TRAPPED IN THE WEAVERVILLE AND TRINITY CENTER AREA WITH SNOW
LEVELS REMAINING AT VALLEY FLOORS FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.
SNOW FALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ABOVE THE
SNOW LEVEL. KEPT THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR ZONES 3 AND 4. AN
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED IN MENDOCINO COUNTY ABOVE 3000 FEET...THIS
WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED BY THE NEXT SHIFT. IN ADDITION WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY NIGHT GUSTY WINDS TO 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED
ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. A WIND ADVISORY
MAY BE NEEDED...ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS MARGINAL. MODELS
HAVE BEEN REMARKABLY CONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS SO CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAN AVERAGE WITH THIS SYSTEM. MKK
.LONG TERM...NUMEROUS SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT
WEDNESDAY WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS
WITH THESE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY AROUND 1500 FEET WITH
LOCALLY LOWER SNOW LEVELS IN THE HEAVIEST SHOWERS. SNOW AMOUNTS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY LOW...ALTHOUGH SINCE SNOW LEVELS ARE SO
LOW ADVISORY LEVELS OF 4 INCHES MAY BE MET. THIS WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY AS
SEVERAL REINFORCING SHOTS OF COLD AIR MOVE OVER THE AREA. SHOWER
COVERAGE LOOKS TO DIMINISH THURSDAY NIGHT. SOME THESE SHOWERS MAY
CONTAIN SMALL HAIL. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SMALL HAIL LOOKS TO BE ON
WEDNESDAY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. 500 MB TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE
-25 TO -30C RANGE. AT THIS POINT DONT HAVE SMALL HAIL IN THE
GRIDS...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED. FRIDAY MODELS ARE
HINTING AT SOME WARM ADVECTION PRECIP AGAIN...SO INTRODUCED LOW
END POPS FOR THAT. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE HIGHER FOR THIS AND AMOUNT
ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT. FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY THERE IS
DECENT AGREEMENT ON A RIDGE IN PLACE BEFORE ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM
LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY OR MONDAY. MKK
&&
.AVIATION...VFR CONDS CONTINUE TODAY. PATCHES OF STRATUS ARE EVIDENT
ON SATELLITE AROUND THE CAPE AND INTERIOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY. OBS SHOW
CEILINGS AROUND 2500 FT...WHICH SHOULD BURN OFF BY MID-MORNING.
WINDS ARE BEGINNING TO PICK UP THIS MORNING...AND SHOULD BE GUSTY
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...PEAKING AS HIGH AS 30 KT...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST. WINDS DROP OFF DRAMATICALLY AFTER SUNSET
TONIGHT AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD. JCA
&&
.MARINE...WINDS HAVE YET TO REALLY MATERIALIZE AS
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE CAPE. WE STILL EXPECT WINDS TO
INCREASE DURING THE DAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS FURTHER.
HAVE EXTENDED THE GALE WARNINGS SOUTH OF THE CAPE...BUT DOWNGRADED
FURTHER NORTH. THE HIGHEST WINDS AND SEAS UNDER THIS REGIME WILL
BE FOUND DOWNWIND OF CAPE MENDOCINO. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH
FAIRLY RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD. A
POTENT FRONT APPROACHES THE COAST BY TUE AFTN...WITH SOUTHERLY
WINDS RAPIDLY INCREASING. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE FRONT...BUT THE PERIOD OF STRONGEST
WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY SHORT-LIVED. STORM FORCE GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF ZONE 470...BUT WITH
SUCH A STABLE LAYER...THE 65 KT WINDS AT 925MB MAY HAVE TROUBLE
MIXING TO THE SFC. FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A GALE
WATCH...BUT WE WILL EMPHASIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF 50 KT GUSTS.
GUSTY W WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH BY THU.
SEAS REMAIN ELEVATED TODAY WITH THE CONTINUED FRESH TO STRONG
WINDS...PEAKING AS HIGH AS 14 FT AT AROUND 10 SEC DOWNWIND OF CAPE
MENDOCINO. STEEP SEAS WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONG WINDS AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT POISED TO MOVE THROUGH TUE AFTN/EVENING. A LARGE NW
SWELL WILL BUILD INTO THE WATERS BEHIND THE FRONT BEGINNING WED.
THIS SWELL IS EXPECTED TO PEAK AROUND 20 FT...THEN SLOWLY SUBSIDE
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. JCA
