AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
348 PM PDT MON SEP 16 2013

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A CHANCE OF
LIGHT SHOWERS NORTH OF THE CAPE LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. DRY
AND WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN ON WEDNESDAY AND LAST THROUGH
THURSDAY BEFORE A COOLER AND WETTER STORM AFFECTS THE REGION
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY. TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY COOLER. A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH JUST
OUTSIDE 130W WEST OF OREGON THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
PAC NW TONIGHT INTO TUE MORNING. THIS FEATURE WILL GENERATE SCATTERED
SHOWERS MOSTLY NORTH OF ABOUT ROUTE 299. WITH 500MB TEMPS COOLING
TO -20C AND UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE INCREASING RIGHT OFFSHORE THE
DEL NORTE COUNTY COAST LATE TONIGHT...WE ADDED ISOLD TSTMS TO THE
FORECAST - MAINLY OVER THE WATERS AND NEAR THE COAST. 24HR RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WITH THE INCOMING S/W TROF SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT WITH
EXPECTED TOTALS NEAR A TENTH IN DEL NORTE COUNTY AND POSSIBLY A FEW
HUNDREDTHS SOUTH TO EUREKA BY 11 AM TUE.

WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON WED
AND PERSIST INTO THU AS A RIDGE REBUILDS OVER AND ALONG THE WEST
COAST. A MUCH DEEPER TROF IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE AREA ON
FRIDAY WITH INCREASING CHANCES OF RAIN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE AREA.
MODEL CONSENSUS AND CONTINUITY HAS BEEN QUITE GOOD AND CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH WE WILL SEE SOME RAIN. THE TIMING STILL A LITTLE UNCERTAIN.
THE LATEST RUN OF THE GFS AND ECMWF WERE TRENDING SLOWER. THE GEM
WAS A LITTLE FASTER. FOR NOW SIDED WITH THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER MODELS.
IT IS LOOKING LIKE THE WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE
ONSHORE FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS LOOKS TO BE THE WINDOW
OF OPPORTUNITY FOR A BROKEN BAND OF RAIN TO MOVE THROUGH. IT DOES
NOT LOOK TO BE A LONG-DRAWN-OUT EVENT...HOWEVER FREQUENT SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO SATURDAY AS A COUPLE OF SHORT-WAVE
TROFS GENERATE INSTABILITY AND ONSHORE FLOW. INCREASED PRECIP
CHANCES ON SATURDAY WITH ALL THE MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON THE
500MB FLOW PATTERN AND THE COOLING ALOFT. PRECIP CHANCES MAY NEED
TO BE INCREASED FOR SATURDAY EVEN MORE. THE STORM DOES NOT LOOK TO
BE COLD ENOUGH TO DROP SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO 5.5KT. HOWEVER A FEW
HIGH MTN PEAKS ABOVE 6KFT TO 7KFT COULD SEE LIGHT SNOW AMOUNTS.

WE REFRESHED THE CURRENT WEAX STORY AND HWO TO HIGHLIGHT THE
INCOMING RAIN. THIS IS GOOD TIME TO MAKE SURE STORM GUTTERS AND
DRAINS ARE FREE OF DEBRI. COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND ESPECIALLY AS THE AIR MASS DRIES OUT AFTER TROF PASSAGE
BY SUNDAY.

MODELS WERE GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING ANOTHER SYSTEM
BEARING DOWN ON THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK...SO BOOSTED THE PRECIP
CHANCES 2X-3X ABOVE MID SEP NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTAINING TO BUILD OFFSHORE WHICH SHOULD
INCREASE THE ONSHORE GRADIENT. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHTER
QUICKLY THIS EVENING BUT THE FLOW WILL LIKELY RESULT IN STRATUS
DEVELOPING LOCALLY AROUND THE EEL RIVER VALLEY AND EXPANDING UP THE
COAST TO KACV AND KCEC OVERNIGHT. ALREADY SEEING SOME SCT 600 FT
CLOUDS NEAR KCEC...SO WHILE WE ARE THINKING IT WILL TAKE MOST OF THE
EVENING FOR STRATUS TO ORGANIZE, IT COULD DEVELOP EARLIER. MID AND
HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD LIMIT RADIATIONAL COOLING AND WITH THE FAIRLY
WELL-MIXED LOW LEVELS AND APPROACHING TROUGH, DO NOT EXPECT MUCH
FOG. ALSO DO NOT THINK CIGS WILL BE TO BE TOO LOW...PERHAPS LIFTING
ABOVE 1000 FT TOWARD MORNING AS THE TROUGH PASSES BY. SKIES SHOULD
CLEAR BY MIDDAY IF NOT EARLIER AT THE COAST. A SHOWER OR TWO CANNOT
BE RULED OUT IN THE MORNING EITHER. INLAND AREAS WILL REMAIN VFR. AAD

&&

.MARINE...NCE AGAIN, SEAS ARE AS LOW AS THEY ARE GOING TO GET FOR
AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK OR 10 DAYS TODAY, SO HOPEFULLY MARINERS
ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE WINDOW. WE ARE MAINLY SEEING A 12
SECOND 4-5 FT LONGER PERIOD WAVE TRAIN MIXING WITH STEEPER WAVES
DOWNWIND OF CAPE MENDOCINO WHERE LOCALLY NORTHERLIES ARE REACHING
ABOVE 20 KT THIS EVENING. ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
MIDWEEK FOR THE OUTER WATERS...AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BUILDS, BY
TUE NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY, SUSTAINED WINDS MAY REACH UP TO 25 KT
BEYOND 10 NM AND NEAR CAPES AND HEADLANDS, WHICH WILL LIKELY
REPRESENT THE WORST CONDITIONS OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. THAT SAID,
WHILE WINDS EASE THURSDAY AND EVENTUALLY BECOME SOUTHERLY ON
FRIDAY, A FRONT WILL ALSO APPROACH BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH A
PERIOD OF RAIN FOLLOWED BY SHOWERS ON SATURDAY. MODELS ARE ALSO
ADVERTISING THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT MODERATE WEST/NORTHWEST SWELL OF
THE SEASON, 12-13 SEC, 8-10 FT WAVE TRAIN ARRIVING FRIDAY AND
GRADUALLY DECAYING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AAD

&&

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