AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1003 AM PDT MON SEP 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
IN THE WAKE OF LOW PRESSURE SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF BY MIDDAY
ACROSS MOST OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WITH CLEARING SKIES FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TODAY. A COUPLE WEAK SYSTEMS MAY BRUSH DEL
NORTE COUNTY WITH A SHOWER OR TWO TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE
EXPECT DRY WEATHER WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS.

&&

.UPDATE...
UPDATED SHORT TERM WEATHER AND SKY WITH CLEARING QUICKLY OCCURRING
ALONG THE NORTH COAST THIS MORNING AND CLOUDS ALREADY BEGINNING TO
BREAK ACROSS THE INTERIOR...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY
WHERE DRIER WESTERLY FLOW IS DOWNSLOPING OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
LOW-MID LEVEL TROUGH IS STILL CROSSING MENDOCINO COUNTY AT THIS
HOUR AND WE ARE STILL GETTING SOME HOURLY RAINFALL REPORTS OF UP
TO A TENTH OF AN INCH THERE. KBHX RADAR IS OVERSHOOTING MUCH OF
THIS LOW-LEVEL ACTIVITY. EXPECT THIS TO TAPER OFF QUICKLY THE NEXT
FEW HOURS THOUGH WITH JUST SOME SCATTERED OR ISOLATED ACTIVITY
LINGERING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. AAD

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 428 AM PDT...

SHORT TERM...(THROUGH TUE NIGHT) A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE
SOUTH ACROSS NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN
SHIELD HAS ALREADY MOVED THROUGH MOST OF DEL NORTE COUNTY AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. BY THIS
AFTERNOON MOST OF THE RAIN WILL HAVE MOVED SOUTH OF THE AREA AND
SKY COVER WILL BE DECREASING. HOWEVER WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT BEHIND
THE FRONT THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FEW SHOWERS OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY WILL DECREASE AS THE
SUN SETS ALLOWING SHOWER ACTIVITY TO COME TO AN END THIS EVENING.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN THE LAST
COUPLE OF NIGHTS AS MUCH DRIER AIR SETTLES OVER THE REGION. LOW
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE INTERIOR MAY APPROACH THE MID 30S IN SOME
OF THE COOLER VALLEY LOCATIONS. WITH RECENT RAINFALL WIDESPREAD
VALLEY FOG IS ANTICIPATED SO NO FROST ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED. A
FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER NEAR THE CALIFORNIA/OREGON BORDER ON
TUESDAY AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE SLIDES BY THE REGION...BUT
GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED WITH MOSTLY SUNNY TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER COOL
NIGHT IS EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT WITH PATCHY INTERIOR VALLEY FOG
ANTICIPATED ONCE AGAIN. RPA

LONG TERM...(WED THROUGH MON) MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH A
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO THE PAC NW ON WEDNESDAY. AS THIS
TROUGH PASSES BY THE REGION TO THE NORTH IN OREGON IT WILL BRING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA WEDNESDAY. IN
THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE NE PACIFIC
AND THEN OVER NORTHERN CAL. THIS PATTERN LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR DECENT
DRYING AND WARMING...EVEN ALONG THE COAST IF WE GET EASTERLY FLOW
THAT IS INDICATED BY THIS WEEKEND. THE GFS DOES FLATTEN OUT THE RIDGE
LATE NEXT WEEKEND WITH PERHAPS A FRONT CLIPPING THE AREA WITH SOME
RAIN SHOWERS NEAR THE OREGON BORDER ON SUNDAY. MKN

AVIATION...A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH ACROSS NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA TODAY WITH LOW CIGS AND VSBYS AHEAD OF AND WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE FOLLOWED BY IMPROVING CONDITIONS BEHIND. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE INTO VFR THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON AS
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH AND OUT OF THE AREA. VALLEY FOG
WILL LIKELY DEVELOP TONIGHT AS MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS CLEAR
RESULTING IN A RETURN TO LOWER VSBYS AND CIGS TONIGHT...POSSIBLY
INTO IFR...FOR MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS. RPA

MARINE...IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WINDS HAVE SWITCHED TO
THE WEST AND EASED. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. THE
MAIN STORY TODAY IS THE CONTINUING LONG PERIOD LARGE WAVES IN THE
WAKE OF THE SYSTEM ARRIVING AT THE COAST THIS MORNING. HAZ SEAS
WARNING CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. SLOWLY SUBSIDING
WAVES WILL ALLOW THE HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING TO BE DROPPED LATER
TODAY AND EVENING BUT SEAS WILL REMAIN LARGE AND DANGEROUS THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WEEK SO WILL CONTINUE SCA FOR SEAS. THIS WILL RESULT IN
BREAKERS OF 20-22 FT ALONG W FACING BEACHES AND A HAZARDOUS SURF
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE REDWOOD COAST THROUGH HIGH TIDE MON
MORNING. NLY WINDS WILL INCREASE MID WEEK AS HIGH PRES OFFSHORE
STRENGTHENS. MKN
