Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 9:39 AM PDT, 5 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
939 AM PDT WED APR 10 2013
.SYNOPSIS...DRY AND WARM WEATHER IS EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS INTERIOR
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WHILE CLOUDS INCREASE ALONG THE COAST. LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
NORTH OF MENDOCINO COUNTY AS CLOUD COVER EXPANDS. DRY WEATHER AND
CLEAR SKIES RETURN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
.UPDATE...DID A QUICK UPDATE THIS MORNING MAINLY FOR THE
TEMPERATURE FORECAST ALONG COAST NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. CLOUD
COVER HAS MOVED IN AS EXPECTED AND WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID 50S ALONG THE COAST RATHER THAN THE UPPER 50S WE SAW
YESTERDAY. OTHERWISE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK MKK.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 440 AM PDT WED APR 10 2013/
SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...EXPANSIVE LOW CLOUDS
AHEAD OF AN ADVANCING WEAK TROUGH ARE APPARENT ON 11-3.9 IR
SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING OFF THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COAST.
THESE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SLIDE EAST TOWARD THE COAST AND
ARE...AS OF 4 AM...HUGGING THE COAST. THESE CLOUDS SHOULD EXPAND
INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHAT LEVEL THESE
CLOUDS WILL COME IN AT THIS MORNING. MOS GUIDANCE INDICATES
CEILINGS AROUND 3000 FEET WHILE SOUNDINGS...TIME-HEIGHT CROSS
SECTIONS...AND BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE FIELDS ALL SUGGEST LOWER
CEILINGS AND FOG FORMATION. THUS HAVE FORECAST FOG TODAY ALONG THE
COAST AND THEN EVENTUAL DRIZZLE AS THE TROUGH/FRONT SLIDES DOWN
THE COAST. SOME LIGHT RAIN MIGHT ALSO EXPAND INTO INTERIOR AREAS
AS THE TROUGH SLIDES THROUGH AND CLOUD COVER INCREASES TONIGHT.
AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH VERY WARM AIR ALOFT AND CLEAR SKIES WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM READILY ACROSS THE INTERIOR VALLEYS.
SOME AREAS IN MENDOCINO COUNTY MAY REACH 80 DEGREES TODAY.
SKIES WILL CLEAR QUICKLY ON THURSDAY AS DRY AIR BEHIND THE FRONT
EXPANDS OVER THE CWA. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COASTAL AREAS MIGHT CLEAR
OUT OVERNIGHT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND CLOUD COVER MAY BE TOO
EXPANSIVE IN THE FORECAST ALONG THE COAST THURSDAY MORNING. DRY
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY AS WEAK RIDGING REBUILDS
ALOFT AND TEMPERATURES WARM. RPA
LONG TERM..SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...500 MB HEIGHTS BEGIN TO
FALL AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGS SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WEST COAST
SATURDAY. COLDER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER SNOW LEVELS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE INTRUSION OF THE COLD AIR MASS THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE OVER THE
WEEKEND AS WELL BUT MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARD LIMITED
MOISTURE AND FOCUSING MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION NORTHWARD IN
OREGON. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SHOW DRY NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE
TROUGH FURTHER SUPPORTING A DRIER NW CALIFORNIA. POPS HAVE BEEN
ADJUSTED BELOW CLIMATOLOGY FOR EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK AS THE
TROUGH STARTS TO SLIDE FARTHER INLAND PULLING ANY ONSHORE FLOW
FARTHER NORTH. RPA/JT
AVIATION...JUST A WAITING GAME ON THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG JUST
OFFSHORE MOVING INLAND. LOW-LEVEL WINDS ARE LIGHT BUT SLIGHTLY
OFFSHORE EARLY THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BECOME MORE
ONSHORE DURING THE DAY...ADVECTING LOW CIGS AND REDUCED VSBYS
INLAND. NAM AND LOCAL WRF TIMING APPEARS TO PUT THE BULK OF THIS
OVER THE COASTAL AIRPORTS BETWEEN 18Z AND 20Z. WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF THIS OCCURS EARLIER THAN PROGGED. NAM IS ALSO
INDICATING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY AFTER 00Z. /SEC
MARINE...KEPT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR S OFFSHORE LEG AS
CONDITIONS WILL ONLY BRIEFLY DROP BELOW CRITERIA TODAY...IF AT ALL.
THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WILL SEE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS RETURN BY
MIDDAY TODAY. THIS WILL BE MAINLY DUE TO LONGER PERIOD SEAS TODAY
AND TONIGHT...BUT WINDS WILL INCREASE AS WELL BY THU. GALE FORCE
GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS BY THU NIGHT...AND A
GALE WATCH MAY BE NEEDED BY THE NEXT PACKAGE. SWELL TRAIN WILL DECAY
BY LATE THU. ANOTHER SWELL TRAIN WILL ARRIVE ON SAT WITH 18 SEC
PERIOD FORERUNNERS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DROP OFF AGAIN BY FRI
NIGHT..THEN PICK UP AGAIN OVER THE S WATERS BY SAT NIGHT. /SEC
