AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
346 PM PDT SAT OCT 26 2013

.SYNOPSIS...MORE CLEARING IS EXPECTED AT THE COAST SUNDAY AS A WEAK
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES DOWN FROM THE NORTH. A FEW
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE WEST COAST RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH THE SAME TWO CUT OFF LOWS CIRCULATING AROUND THE AREA. ONE LOW
IS LOCATED OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE OTHER IS OFF THE
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE MIXING TODAY ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST...ALTHOUGH THE FIRST SUNSHINE IN DAYS WAS SEEN
AT THE OFFICE TODAY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE UPPER LOW OVER
WASHINGTON/OREGON WILL SLIDE FARTHER SOUTH ON SUNDAY BRINGING WITH
IT INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS NEAR THE COAST. THIS SHOULD INCREASE
MIXING AND HOPEFULLY...FINALLY BRING MORE WIDESPREAD SUNSHINE TO
COASTAL LOCATIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. OTHERWISE INTERIOR
AREAS WILL REMAIN SUNNY WITH NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY.

AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS AFTERNOON
WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE SOUTH WHILE STRENGTHENING INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND THEN CALIFORNIA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. MUCH COOLER AIR
WILL FUNNEL SOUTH WITH THIS SYSTEM AND WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY A
FEW SHOWERS MAY FORM OVER THE INTERIOR OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT ANY SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT AS MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND THE LOW WILL BE ORIGINATING
FROM A CLIMATOLOGICALLY UNFAVORABLE LOCATION FOR SHOWERS IN
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA.

THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE REMAINS HOW COLD TEMPERATURES WILL
BECOME MONDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME THE
COLDEST NIGHT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW
SLIDES SOUTH OF THE AREA AND WINDS DECREASE. HAVE OPTED TO GO A FEW
DEGREES BELOW MODEL GUIDANCE FOR MANY VALLEY LOCATIONS INCLUDING ALL
THE WAY TO THE NEAR COASTAL VALLEYS. IT WOULD BE NOT A SURPRISE THAT
UPPER 30 TO MID 30 DEGREE TEMPS REACH SOME COASTAL LOCATIONS AS THIS
COLD AIRMASS SETTLES IN. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN FROST CONDITIONS FOR
MOST INTERIOR LOCATIONS AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN MOST VALLEYS OF
TRINITY AND INTERIOR MENDOCINO COUNTY. THE ONLY INTERIOR VALLEYS
THAT MAY NOT FROST WILL BE IN SOUTHWESTERN MENDOCINO COUNTY AND FAR
WESTERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY. ANOTHER NEARLY AS COOL NIGHT WILL OCCUR
TUESDAY NIGHT BUT CONFIDENCE IS A LITTLE LOWER ON WHERE FROST AND
FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR.

AFTERNOON HIGHS MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL REMAIN IN THE 50S AND 60S AS
THE UPPER LOW SLIDES SOUTH AND THEN EAST OF THE AREA. BY WEDNESDAY
RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA AS A WEAK WARM FRONT
MOVES NORTH INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. A FEW SHOWERS MAY BE
POSSIBLE WITH OR JUST BEHIND THE FRONT ON THURSDAY...BUT AT THIS
TIME MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD LESS PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY BACK TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL.

THE NEXT BIG WEATHER MAKER MAY BE NEXT WEEKEND AS NOW BOTH THE GFS
AND ECMWF ARE INDICATING A STRONG STORM MAY IMPACT THE AREA. FOR NOW
HAVE KEPT POPS NEAR CLIMATOLOGY BUT THE POPS WILL LIKELY HAVE TO BE
INCREASED IF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THIS POSSIBILITY WITH THE
NEXT FEW RUNS. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...COASTAL STRATUS PERSISTS AS A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS
CENTERED OVER THE WEST COAST INHIBITING LOW LEVEL MIXING. LITTLE
IMPROVEMENT IS ANTICIPATED THIS EVENING LEAVING COASTAL AIRFIELDS
UNDER IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS. SUNDAY AFTERNOON LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST
DAY OF SUBSTANTIAL COASTAL CLEARING AS A SHORTWAVE DIGS OVER
NORTHERN CA, HOWEVER, LOW LEVEL CLOUDS MAY LINGER IN THE HUMBOLDT
BAY AND EEL RIVER DELTA. OTHERWISE INTERIOR AIRFIELDS WILL REMAIN
VFR WITH SOME MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE NE PACIFIC AND LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL INCREASE
TONIGHT AND SUN. HAVE MADE NO CHANGES TO THE START TIME OF THE
EXISTING OFFSHORE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WHICH BEGINS THIS EVENING.
DID HOIST A GALE WATCH FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS STARTING SUN
AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT...THE WATCH IS BASED ON LOW END GALE FORCE
GUSTS. IF THE WATCH IS NOT UPGRADED...A SHORTER DURATION HAZARDOUS
SEAS WARNING MAY BE REQUIRED. THE FORECAST PERIOD IS STILL EXPECTED
TO BE DOMINATED BY GUSTY N WINDS AND ELEVATED SHORT PERIOD WAVES
THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP OFF DURING THE DAY
TUE. 3 MAIN SETS OF SWELL ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE 1ST 2...ARRIVING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND MON
AFTERNOON...WILL BE LOW AMPLITUDE WITH PERIODS GENERALLY11 TO 14
SECONDS. THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SWELL TRAIN IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE
WED. PERIODS WITH THIS TRAIN WILL START OFF AT AROUND 22 SECONDS
WITH SWELL HEIGHTS BUILDING TO 6 FT BY FRI MORNING. /SEC
