AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
750 PM PDT SUN MAY 12 2013

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAKENING UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING COOLER AIR TO THE
INTERIOR ON MONDAY. THIS TROUGH WILL ALSO BRING A CHANCE OF
LIGHT RAIN NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD
BY TUESDAY AND HOLD THROUGH WEDNESDAY FOR A CONTINUATION OF
MOSTLY DRY AND STABLE WEATHER.

&&

.EVENING UPDATE...HAVE UDPATED THE SKY FORECAST FOR THE EVENING TO
KEEP IT A BIT MORE CLEAR ALONG THE HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COAST
LONGER INTO THE EVENING. TEMPS ARE DROPPING TOWARD THE DEWPOINT AND
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE EXPECTED AGAIN OVERNIGHT, BUT THERE WAS
ENOUGH CLEARING LATE THIS AFTERNOON TO PUSH BACK DEVELOPMENT A FEW
HOURS. ENJOY THE SUNSHINE. BFG

.DISCUSSION...STRATUS WAS SLOWLY DIMINISHING ALONG THE NORTH COAST
THIS AFTERNOON AND MAY SCATTER OUT LATE THIS AFTERNOON FOR BRIEF
INCREASE IN SOLAR RADIATION THIS EVENING. SOUTH OF THE CAPE...STRATUS
AND FOG HAS BEEN MEANDERING OVER THE MENDO COASTLINE ALL DAY. NOT
TOO CONFIDENT THE MARINE LAYER WILL DEEPEN MUCH THERE TONIGHT AND
MAY END UP HOLDING FAIRLY STEADY. LAYER SHOULD INCREASE AND PUSH
FARTHER INTO MOST ALL RIVER VALLEYS MONDAY MORNING AFTER A WEAK
FRONT BRUSHES BY TO OUR NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS UP
OFFSHORE. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO WASH OUT ALONG THE COAST
MONDAY AND MAY PRODUCE SOME LIGHT RAIN NORTH OF THE CAPE. AMOUNTS
LOOK TO BE FAIRLY LIGHT...PERHAPS A FEW HUNDREDTHS OR SO. DEL
NORTE COUNTY MAY SEE SLIGHTLY MORE PRECIP...BUT A TENTH OF AN INCH
IS NOT VERY LIKELY.

IT WAS ANOTHER WARM DAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH READINGS MOSTLY
IN THE 80S AND HANDFUL OF LOWER 90S. MAX TEMPERATURES SHOULD
DECREASE ON MONDAY AS A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PAC NW.
INCREASING WESTERLY AND NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD
ALSO BRING COOLER AIR INTO THE RIVER VALLEYS. NAM12 AND GFS BOTH
INDICATE INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER RH'S MON NIGHT...SO WILL
INCREASE THE STRATUS CLOUDS INLAND. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
BUILD ON TUE AND HOLD THROUGH WED. TEMPERATURES INLAND SHOULD
SLOWLY WARM AND RH'S DECREASE. THE NORTH COAST WILL PROBABLY
EXPERIENCE MARINE LAYER CLOUD COVER IN THE MORNINGS...WITH
CLEARING EXPECTED IN THE AFTERNOONS.

BY THU ZONAL FLOW WILL BE REPLACED WITH BAGGY TROUGHINESS. RAIN
SHOWER CHANCES HAVE BEEN INCREASED...PRIMARILY NORTH OF THE CAPE
THU THROUGH FRI. IF MODELS CONTINUE WITH THIS TREND PRECIP CHANCES
WILL HAVE TO BE INCREASED EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANTLY. RIGHT NOW
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES ABOVE
50-60% IN DEL NORTE COUNTY AND 30-40% SOUTHWARD TO EKA AND FOT.
TIMING IS STILL A BIT SKETCHY TOO...BUT RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE THU AND THU NIGHT. IT DOES NOT LOOK
LIKE A LOT OF RAIN OR A DRAWN-OUT EVENT AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE
TRAJECTORY OF THE STORM AND THE PROGRESSION OF THE SHORT-WAVE
TROUGH. IT COULD SLOW DOWN THOUGH AND END UP BEING DELAYED TO FRI.

RIDGING SHOULD BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND BRINGING A
RETURN OF DRY CONDITIONS AND WARMING INTERIOR TEMPERATURES.
COASTAL CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A FORECAST CONCERN EACH NIGHT
AND MORNING. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH A CLIMO-PERSISTENCE FORECAST
ALONG THE COAST. NORTHERLY OR NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE FLOW COUPLED
WITH WARMING ALOFT IS CONDUCIVE TO STRATUS DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.AVIATION...COASTAL STRATUS LINGERS SOUTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO AS OF
21Z AND HAS MOSTLY SCOURED OUT TO VFR AND MVFR NORTH OF THE CAPE.
CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT
SMALL POCKETS OF STRATUS MAY KEEP SOME COASTAL AREAS COVERED. THE
APPROACH OF A FRONT WILL BRING CEILINGS TO NW CALIFORNIA AGAIN AND
LOW PRESSURE WILL ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND AND LIFT. THAT SAID, MVFR TO
IFR FOR COASTAL AIRFIELDS OVERNIGHT. HIGH CLOUDS WILL PUSH OVER THE
INTERIOR BUT INLAND AIRFIELDS SHOULD REMAIN VFR. KML

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE WATERS
THROUGH MONDAY AS A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT PERSISTS ACROSS THE AREA.
A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY IN THE
WAKE OF A WEAK COLD FRONT. THE WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE ON
TUESDAY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INCREASES THE PRESSURE GRADIENT.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS ON
TUESDAY DUE TO AN INCREASE IN THE WINDS AND/OR SEAS. THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE SOUTHERN WATERS BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...NONE.
