AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
900 AM PDT FRI JUN 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE REGION WILL
BRING DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.UPDATE...SAT IMAGERY AND SFC ANALYSIS DEPICT FG/STRATUS DISSIPATING
QUICKLY ALONG THE COAST. ISSUED A QUICK UPDATE TO ADJUST SKY/WX
GRIDS TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS. ALSO NUDGED TEMPS UP A COUPLE OF
DEGREES NEAR THE COAST. OTHERWISE...CURRENT FCST ON TRACK.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 314 AM PDT FRI JUN 28 2013...RIDGE
BUILDING AND MFR AND OAK 5PM SOUNDINGS FROM THUR SHOWED ON AVERAGE
4 TO 7 C WARMING. THIS WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE AS RIDGE
EXPANDS NORTH AND MADE LITTLE CHANGES TO THE AFTERNOON TEMPS WITH
HIGHS IN THE 90S INLAND. FORECAST CHALLENGE IS WHAT TO DO WITH
STRATUS/FOG ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. IT HAS BEEN HANGING AT THE
BEACHES AND OCCASIONALLY DRIFTING A MILE OR SO INLAND. PRESSURE
GRADIENTS SHOWING A STRONGER ONSHORE PUSH AND BY DAYBREAK EXPECT
IT TO BE ACROSS POPULATED AREAS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST WITH
AREAS OF FOG AS IT IS VERY SHALLOW. IT SHOULD BURN BACK TO THE
BEACHES THIS AFTERNOON AND RETURN AGAIN TONIGHT WITH THE CONTINUED
INCREASING ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT.

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
WIDESPREAD INLAND TEMPS IN THE 100-110 RANGE AS THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE
MOVES FROM NORTHERN AZ INTO NORTHERN NV. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE
ABOUT AS WARM AS THEY WERE BACK ON JUNE 7-10 IN TRINITY COUNTY AND
WILL FLIRT WITH RECORD TEMPS BUT NOT AS HOT AS THE SAME PERIOD IN
MENDO COUNTY WHEN IT HIT 111 IN UKIAH.

MODELS BECOMING MORE IN ALIGNMENT BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
WITH A WEAKENING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE PACNW
COAST. DEEP MOISTURE FROM REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM COSME MAY
MOVE AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND MOVE TOWARDS NORCAL IN
S-SW FLOW. THIS WILL RESULT IN POTENTIAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT BY
NEXT TUE...WITH ANY TSTMS LIKELY ELEVATED AND ON THE DRY SIDE.
ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS PATTERN REMAINS LOW...DID INCLUDE
MENTION NEXT WED AND THU OVER THE TRINITY ALPS/YOLLA BOLLYS AS THE
RIDGE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND MODELS SHOW INCREASING MID LEVEL
MOISTURE. THIS TROUGH WILL ALSO BRING A COOLING TREND STARTING
INLAND ON WED WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL BY 4TH OF JULY. DEAN
&&

.AVIATION...FOG AND LOW CEILINGS AT KCEC ARE PRODUCING LIFR
CONDITIONS. LIFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT
KCEC THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER THIS
MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR CONDITIONS OCCURRING AT KCEC.
PERIODS OF PATCHY FOG AND LOW CEILINGS WILL OCCUR AT KACV THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING RESULTING IN CONDITIONS RANGING FROM VFR TO IFR.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON WITH
VFR CONDITIONS OCCURRING AT KACV. VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT TO CALM
WINDS WILL PREVAIL AT KUKI THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FOG AND STRATUS WILL
REDUCE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AT KCEC AND KACV OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING TO MVFR AND TEMPORARY IFR CONDITIONS.
&&

.MARINE....A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OFFSHORE WILL INTERACT
WITH A THERMAL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND A THERMAL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES
THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE THERMAL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND THE THERMAL LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED
STATES WILL INTENSIFY THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO
INCREASING TEMPERATURES ACROSS INLAND CALIFORNIA AND THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM INTERACTING
WITH THE THERMAL LOWS WILL PRODUCE NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE WINDS WILL INCREASE
THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE TEMPERATURES INCREASE ACROSS
INLAND AREAS. THE WINDS WILL INCREASE MORE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
WATERS. THE SEAS WILL ALSO INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH THE HIGHER SEAS OCCURRING ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY PRIMARILY DUE TO SHORT PERIOD SEAS AND ACROSS
THE NORTHERN WATERS MONDAY AND TUESDAY PRIMARILY DUE TO SHORT PERIOD
SEAS.
