NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
246 PM PDT FRI MAR 15 2013

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK FRONT WILL INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS
NORTHERN DISTRICTS LATE SATURDAY. A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
AREA-WIDE PRECIPITATION BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...OTHER THAN A FEW HIGH CLOUDS...CLEAR SKIES HAVE BEEN THE
NORM TODAY ACROSS THE CWA. SOME COASTAL STRATUS IS HANGING OFF THE COAST
AND WILL LIKELY MOVE IN SOON...THUS MORE LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG
COAST SIDE TONIGHT. INTERIOR AREAS WILL REMAIN MAINLY CLOUD FREE. THE
NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM IS IN THE FORM OF A SLIGHTLY STRONGER SHORTWAVE
THAT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON SAT...BRINGING CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS
GENERALLY N OF CAPE MENDO FROM SAT AFTERNOON THRU SAT NIGHT. LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE LIKELY ALONG THE COAST NORTH OF TRINIDAD...MUCH LESS
EVERYWHERE ELSE.  THEN LARGER SCALE E PAC TROUGHING IS PROGGED BY
MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS BY THE MIDDLE OF COMING WEAK. ALTHOUGH
RECENT RUNS HAVE REDUCED THE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL WITH THIS SYSTEM
CONFIDENCE IS GROWING ON LIKELIHOOD...HAVE UPPED TO MAINLY LIKELY POPS
FOR TUE INTO WEDNESDAY FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

&&

.AVIATION...ONSHORE FLOW BEHIND A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH HIGHER LEVEL
BOUNDARY MOISTURE ONTO THE COAST EXPANDING LOW STRATUS INTO COASTAL
HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES. IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
PERSIST OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. SOUTH OF THE

NORTHERN OUTER WATERS. STEEP...SHORT PERIODS SEAS WILL BUILD TO
BETWEEN 7 AND 10 FT IN THE SOUTHERN WATERS AS THE WINDS INCREASE. A
MORE INTENSE STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE WATERS EARLY TO MID NEXT
WEEK...WEAKENING THE NORTHERLY WINDS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS PUSHED
NORTHEAST INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. A COASTAL JET WILL DEVELOP
AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT...POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS IN THE NORTHERN WATERS
