AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
453 AM PST TUE MAR 5 2013

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW FROM A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY. FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS
TO BRING A RETURN TO DRY WEATHER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...IR SAT AND RADAR SHOW THE COLD FRONT JUST OFFSHORE.
CRESCENT CITY HAS STARTED TO REPORT LIGHT RAIN. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS MORNING WITH
RAIN AND MTN SNOW SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOUTH WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO INCREASE ALONG THE COAST.
THIS WILL LIKELY DELAY ANY SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN THE HUMBOLDT BAY
AND EEL RIVER DELTA AREAS UNTIL MID MORNING. SNOW LEVELS ARE
CURRENTLY AROUND 4500 TO 5000 FEET. THESE WILL SLOWLY FALL THROUGH
THE DAY AS THE FRONT MOVES ON SHORE. WINTER STORM WARNING ABOVE
4000 FEET STILL LOOKS GOOD. STARTED THE WARNING A FEW HOURS
EARLIER...IT LOOKS LIKE PRECIP WILL BE STARTING THIS MORNING FOR
THE NORTH COAST INTERIOR AND EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON IN TRINITY
COUNTY. THE EASTERN VALLEYS OF TRINITY COUNTY HAVE REMAINED WARM
THIS MORNING SO IT APPEARS SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGH THERE
TODAY. THERE MAY BE A FEW LOCAL AREAS SUCH AS COVINGTON MILL THAT
COULD SEE LOCALLY LOWER SNOW LEVELS TODAY. ONCE THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THERE MAY BE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE RAIN BEHIND THE FRONT
LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT THE SITUATION BECOMES MORE COMPLEX AS THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH APPROACHES THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS TO
THE AREA. THE 06Z GFS IS SHOWING A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING AT THE
BOTTOM OF THIS TROUGH AND DEEPENING AS IT MOVES ON SHORE CLOSE TO
THE OREGON BORDER. CURRENTLY GUSTS TO 30 MPH ARE EXPECTED...BUT IF
THE LOW DEEPENS MORE THAN EXPECTED THESE MAY BE HIGHER. THIS WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED. THIS LOW MAY ALSO SPARK OFF A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS LINES UP FAIRLY WELL WITH THE 00Z
ECMWF...HOWEVER THE NAM IS MUCH WEAKER WITH THIS LOW. FOR NOW JUST
HAVE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WATERS AND ALONG PORTIONS OF THE
COAST. THIS SYSTEM IS STARTING LOOK MORE DYNAMIC SO THIS MAY NEED
TO BE EXPANDED. 500 MB TEMPS WILL BE AROUND -32 WITH THESE SHOWERS
SO SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER ONES ALONG THE COAST.
SNOW LEVELS WILL SLOWLY FALL OVERNIGHT TO AROUND 3000 FEET BY
MORNING CONTINUING TO FALL THROUGH THE DAY TO AROUND 2500 FEET.
THESE MAY BE LOCALLY DRIVEN LOWER IN THE HEAVY SHOWERS. ADDITIONAL
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IN THESE SHOWERS WILL VARY WIDELY BUT 3 TO 6
INCHES IS EXPECTED ABOVE 2500 FEET. A SNOW ADVISORY ABOVE 2500
FEET WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER VORT MAX MOVING
AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. THE MODELS VARY ON THE
LOCATION OF THIS BUT SOME MODELS BRING IT ONSHORE OVER MENDOCINO
COUNTY SO ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THERE FOR
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY THE RIDGE STARTS TO BUILD IN AND DRY AIR
WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE AREA. THIS SHOULD SHUT THE SHOWERS OFF FOR
FRIDAY...BUT NOW MODELS ARE SHOWING SOME LINGERING CLOUDS INLAND
ON FRIDAY. OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD KEEP THE COAST FAIRLY CLEAR ON
FRIDAY. MKK

.LONG TERM...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD IN ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. CLOUD COVER IS A BIT UNCERTAIN ALONG THE
COAST AS THE OFFSHORE LOOKS TO WEAKEN ON SUNDAY. MONDAY SOME
MODELS ARE SHOWING A SYSTEM MOVING OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE...BUT
THEY HAVE BEEN RATHER INCONSISTENT WITH THIS SO JUST HAVE A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
TODAY BRINGING RAIN AND WIND BEGINNING IN THE NORTH AND MOVING SOUTH
THROUGH THE DAY. GUSTS OVER 25 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES
TODAY WITH CIGS LOWERING FROM VFR AT ACV AND CEC INTO MVFR OR IFR BY
THIS EVENING. CIGS AT UKI ARE CURRENTLY MVFR AND MAY INCREASE TO VFR
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD TODAY BEFORE CRASHING BACK DOWN TONIGHT INTO IFR.
RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES DURING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. RAIN WILL
DECREASE ACROSS HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER SHOWERS WILL REDEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING

CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY THIS MORNING WITH MODEL GUIDANCE SUPPORTING
35 TO 40 KT GUSTS ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS. AT
THIS TIME IT APPEARS THESE WIND SPEEDS SHOULD BE WIDESPREAD ALONG
THE FRONT ACROSS ALL WATERS. THUS GALE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR
ALL ZONES...TIMED TO BE IN EFFECT FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. STEEP SHORT PERIOD SEAS WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP IN
RESPONSE TO THE WINDS PEAKING BETWEEN 11 AND 14 FT. WINDS IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WEAKENS. HOWEVER WITH MORE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY EXPECTED TO
PINWHEEL AROUND THE UPPER LOW OFF THE WEST COAST THROUGH
THURSDAY...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RAMP UP AGAIN QUICKLY
TUESDAY NIGHT. IN FACT...MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUED TO SHOW A SECOND
SURGE OF AT LEAST SCA WINDS WEDNESDAY MORNING AS A SECONDARY LOW
MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS. THE MOST RECENT ECMWF AND GFS MODEL RUNS
INDICATE THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AS IT APPROACHES THE WATERS AND
THEN EJECT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN OREGON. THIS IS AN
IDEAL SOLUTION FOR STRONG STORMS IN NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL
WATERS AS COLD AIR FILTERS IN ALOFT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND
INSTABILITY INCREASES. BOTH MODELS INDICATE GALES BEHIND THE SURFACE
LOW...THUS HAVE INCREASED WINDS 5 TO 10 KT WEDNESDAY MORNING AS
COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL DIVE SOUTH ALONG THE COAST ON THURSDAY
