AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
300 AM PST FRI FEB 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. RAIN CHANCES WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...RAWS AND METAR OBS WERE DISPLAYING MODEST OFFSHORE
FLOW EARLY THIS MORNING. PATCHES OF STRATUS AND FOG WERE EVIDENT
ON SATELLITE BOTH INLAND AND OFFSHORE THE COAST. A FEW UPPER
ELEVATION RAWS WERE IN THE LOWER 50S AS OF 3AM PST THANKS TO
A DOME OF WARM AIR ALOFT. IN CONTRAST...LOWER ELEVATIONS ACROSS
THE INTERIOR WERE IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. PATCHY VALLEY LOW
CLOUD AND FOG WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE THIS MORNING AND SHOULD BE
COMPLETELY GONE BY NOON. INLAND HIGH TEMPS WILL RAMP UP INTO THE
60S TO LOWER 70S EXCEPT IN AREAS UNDER FOG AND LOW CLOUD. THE COAST
SHOULD WARM TODAY TOO. MOSTLY UPPER 50S AND MID 60S ARE EXPECTED.
STRATUS MAY CREEP TOWARD THE BEACHES THIS AFTERNOON BUT IT LOOKS
LIKE THERE WILL BE A SUFFICIENT OFFSHORE COMPONENT TO KEEP IT FROM
BECOMING WIDESPREAD TONIGHT. SATURDAY WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY AS
THE SFC FLOW SWITCHES FROM SOUTHEASTERLY TO NORTHERLY. THE NAM12
INDICATES A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BOUNDARY LAYER RH SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE FLOW GOES NORTHERLY. THEREFORE EXPECT AN
INCREASE IN LOW CLOUDS AND PERHAPS FOG AND DRIZZLE ALONG MOST OF
THE COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO SUNDAY
MORNING. HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH CLEARING IF ANY TO EXPECT SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. THE LAYER MAY EXPAND AND PUSH FARTHER INLAND BY
SUNDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS INDICATE HIGH BOUNDARY LAYER RH AND
NORTHERLY FLOW PERSISTING THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THEREFORE
COASTAL LOW CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY STICK AROUND WITH VERY LITTLE
OR NO CLEARING THROUGH MONDAY.

MODELS WERE STILL IN AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING A DECAYING FRONT
TOWARD THE NORTH COAST ON TUESDAY. TIMING IS STILL UNCERTAIN.
RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCES WILL HOLD OFF TIL TUE
AFTERNOON OR TUE NIGHT. A RIDGE WILL SHOULD BUILD ON WED,
SO TRENDED PRECIP CHANCES DOWN AS IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
MODELS WERE SLIGHTLY OUT OF SYNC ON SHOWING A STRONGER AND
COLDER TROUGH LATER IN THE WEEK. THIS TROUGH MAY SLOW DOWN
AND DELAY THE PRECIP AND COLD AIR TIL FRI. THUS LEFT NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO PRECIP CHANCES BOTH DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW TODAY IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN VFR AT
REGIONAL AIRSTRIPS. PERIODS OF MVFR DUE TO REDUCED VSBY IS POSSIBLE
LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE COAST DUE TO A LIGHT LOW LEVEL ONSHORE PUSH.
BFG

&&

.MARINE...A SHOALING THREAT CONTINUES TO BE THE STORY FOR THE
COASTAL WATERS THIS WEEKEND. EARLY MORNING BUOY REPORTS ARE SHOWING
A 2 TO 4 FT NNW WAVE AT ABOUT 4 TO 5 SECONDS, ALONG WITH A 3 TO 4 FT
W WAVE AT ABOUT 12 SECONDS. THE SHORT PERIOD WAVE IS EXPECTED TO
FADE OUT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY, WHILE THE 12 SECOND WAVE
WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH TONIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A
ROBUST WAVE SYSTEM IMPACTING THE COASTAL WATER BY THIS EVENING WITH
FORERUNNERS AROUND 2 TO 4 FT AT 22 SECONDS AT SUNSET. I REMAIN
SOMEWHAT DUBIOUS OF THESE PERIODS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE STORM
IN RELATION TO THE COASTAL WATERS. PERIODS WILL LIKELY INITIALLY
SHOW UP AROUND 20 SECONDS WITH WAVE HEIGHT OF ABOUT 2 FT. DID NUDGE
THE PERIODS DOWN A HAIR IN THE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS, BUT
WAITING FOR THE OFFSHORE BUOYS TO START PICKING UP THIS WAVE SYSTEM
BEFORE MAKING DRASTIC CHANGES. SATELLITE ALTIMETER DATA  FROM LATE
YESTERDAY SHOWED DECENT MODEL INITIALIZATION OF SEA HEIGHTS ACROSS
PARTS OF THE STORM. SO I CONTINUE TO EXPECT MODEL HEIGHTS TO HOLD
TRUE, SOMEWHERE IN THE 12 TO 13 FT RANGE. HOWEVER, WITH SET BEHAVIOR
IN THIS WAVE SYSTEM, OCCASIONAL HEIGHTS MAY REACH UP TO AROUND 18
FT. WITH PERIODS OVER 15 SECONDS AND HEIGHTS CONSISTENTLY BUILDING
THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY, SHOALING WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT
TO MARINE ACTIVITIES. ALSO, DUE TO LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER MOVING
THROUGH A DEEP COLUMN, CURRENTS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRONGER THAN
NORMAL. WAVE PERIOD AND HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST TO FALL BY SUNDAY,
LOWERING THE SHOALING HAZARD. SEAS SHOULD DROP TO AROUND 7 TO 8 FT
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. BFG
