AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1007 PM PST MON JAN 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...CLOUDY AND DAMP WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING
NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. TRINITY AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES WILL SEE
MAINLY CLEARING SKIES AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH SOME FOG. EXPECT SOME
SUNSHINE ON TUESDAY BEFORE A FAST MOVING FRONT WILL BRING NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA A QUICK SHOT OF RAIN ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH SMALL HAIL WILL FOLLOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY WITH FALLING SNOW LEVELS.

&&

.UPDATE...THE DAY SHIFT WAS WORRIED THAT THE CLOUDS WOULD BE SLOW TO
CLEAR THIS EVENING AND THAT IS IN FACT WHAT IS HAPPENING. UPDATED
THE FORECAST TO WARM UP THE LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT ABOUT 3-5
DEGREES DUE TO A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER AND WEAK WARM FRONT OVER
THE AREA WHICH HAS TEMPERATUES STARTING OUT ABOUT 5 TO 9 DEGREES
WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT. REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK EXCEPT
WILL START OUT WITH MORE CLOUD COVER ALONG THE COAST NORTH OF CAPE
MENDO TUE MORNING. DEAN

.PREV DISUCSSION...WATER VAPOR SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVING
INTO THE WESTERN US. THIS IS ALSO PUSHING A WARM FRONT OVER THE AREA.
THIS IS BRINGING LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE TO AREAS NORTH OF CAPE
MENDOCINO. TONIGHT THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN. THIS SHOULD
CLEAR SKIES OUT. DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THIS CLEARS CLOUDS OUT
THIS MAY ALLOW FOG TO FORM AND TEMPERATURES TO DROP MORE QUICKLY
THAN EXPECTED. CONVERSELY...IF THESE CLOUDS STICK AROUND LONGER THAN
EXPECTED TEMPERATURES MAY STAY WARMER THAN FORECAST. VIS SAT SHOWS A
LOT OF CLOUDS UPSTREAM SO THINGS MAY BE A BIT SLOW TO CLEAR OUT AND
WILL TREND THE FORECAST THAT WAY. TOMORROW MORNING EXPECT THERE WILL
BE VALLEY FOG WHERE CLOUDS DO MANAGE TO CLEAR OUT. DEWPOINTS HAVE
RISEN CONSIDERABLY THIS AFTERNOON AT UKI WITH THE WARMER AND MORE
MOIST AIRMASS.

THE NEXT SYSTEM IS A COLD FRONT ARRIVING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING. INITIALLY WITH THIS SYSTEM SNOW LEVELS WILL BE
FAIRLY HIGH...ABOVE 5000 FEET. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE FAIRLY
WARM TUESDAY NIGHT. THE SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL QUICKLY IN THE
MORNING ON WEDNESDAY...THIS SHOULD BE BEHIND THE INITIAL PRECIP.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THE INITIAL FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM
HALF INCH IN DEL NORTE COUNTY TO LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH
TRINITY COUNTY AND MENDOCINO COUNTY. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT A
FAIRLY COLD TROUGH SETTLES IN OVER THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL DROP
SNOW LEVELS TO AS LOW AS 1000 FT IN HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE
COUNTIES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. QPF FROM THE
MODELS IS FAIRLY LOW WITH THIS...LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH.
TYPICALLY MODELS UNDERDO THE QPF IN THESE SHOWERY SITUATIONS SO
USED THE SREF DOWNSCALED QPF WHICH LOOKED TO GIVE US THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS OF ANY MODEL. THIS WILL GIVE US 1-2 INCHES AS LOW AS 1500
FEET. AMOUNTS COULD BE HIGHER IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND A SNOW
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. THIS
COLD SYSTEM ALSO BRINGS A GOOD SETUP FOR SMALL HAIL AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COAST. LAPSE RATES ARE UP AROUND 7 TO 8
DEGC/KM AND 500 MB TEMPS ARE DOWN AROUND -35 INDICATING A GOOD
SETUP FOR SMALL HAIL AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. THURSDAY THE
RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK IN...HOWEVER THERE MAY BE SOME
LINGERING SHOWERS WITH THE JET MAX PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA. SO
UPPED POPS SLIGHTLY AND ADDED THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY. THIS
ALSO LINED UP WELL WITH THE NEIGHBORS. MKK.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THE MODELS SHOW ANOTHER WAVE BRINGING
A FEW MORE ISOLATED SHOWERS HOWEVER THESE MAY REMAIN MAINLY
OFFSHORE AND AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. FRIDAY AFTERNOON SKIES
SHOULD BEGIN CLEARING. THE RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK INTO THE
AREA IN ERNEST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BUILDING BACK INTO THE
AREA. INITIALLY THIS LOOKS TO BRING ANOTHER WARM FRONT AND SOME
LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE ON SATURDAY. MODELS ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING
THIS SKIRTING THE AREA TO THE NORTH...BUT IF IT WERE TO MOVE SOUTH
SLIGHTLY THERE COULD BE MORE RAIN IN THE AREA. SUNDAY A LOW MOVING
DOWN THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN IS PROGGED TO BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF
COOL AIR TO THE REGION AND POSSIBLY SOME LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW. THIS
IS TYPICALLY A FAIRLY DRY PATTERN SO AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE LIGHT.
EARLY NEXT WEEK THE RIDGE LOOKS TO FINALLY TAKE HOLD AND BRING
SHOULD BRING SOME FAIRLY NICE DRY WEATHER TO THE WEST COAST. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST NORTH OF CAPE
MENDO THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING WITH DISSIPATING WARM FRONT OVER
THE AREA. VFR ELSEWHERE WITH MID CLOUDS EXITING IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW. CONTINUED VFR IN TRINITY AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES EXCEPT LIFR
VSBYS IN FOG IN THE VALLEYS DEVELOPING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND
CLEARING BY NOON. DEAN

&&

.MARINE...A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM STRETCHING ACROSS THE REGION WILL
MAINTAIN LIGHT TO MODERATE WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE WATERS
THROUGH TUESDAY. A LONG PERIOD WEST NORTHWEST WAVE TRAIN CONTINUES
TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
CONTINUE ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS DUE TO THE SEAS. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING INCREASING THE WINDS AND SEAS
TO SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS TUESDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA WEDNESDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE NECESSARY ACROSS
ALL OF THE WATERS TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING DUE TO AN
INCREASE IN THE WINDS AND SEAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH AND
PASSAGE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY
TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS INTO FRIDAY. THE WINDS AND SEAS
WILL DECREASE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE WATERS AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES OVER THE AREA.

&&

     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 9 PM TUESDAY TO 3 PM PST
