Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 4:03 AM PST, 4 hours 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
403 AM PST SAT DEC 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL COME TO AN END THIS MORNING
AS DRIER AIR BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. NEAR RECORD COLD
TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND AS AN ARCTIC AIR MASS
SETTLES OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO DIVE SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA WITH COLD AIR FILTERING IN OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. A
VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS HAS ALLOWED SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
INCLUDING A MIX OF SNOW...GRAUPEL...HAIL AND RAIN NEAR THE COAST.
ACCUMULATION HAS BEEN RESTRICTED TO SMALL BANDS IN THE HEAVIEST
SHOWERS CAUSED BY GRAUPEL OR SMALL HAIL NEAR THE COAST. ACCUMULATION
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SPARSE SO NO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN
ISSUED. HOWEVER A FEW ISOLATED AREAS MAY SEE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION
RESULTING IN A TRACE OF GRAUPEL OR HAIL ACCUMULATION THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS NEAR THE COAST. FARTHER INLAND SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE
SNOW SHOWERS HAVE CONTINUED BUT WITH ACCUMULATION GENERALLY LESS
THAN AN INCH SINCE MIDNIGHT THE WINTER STORM WARNING WAS ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE AS PREVIOUSLY FORECAST.

DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER IN OVER THE REGION LATER THIS MORNING
INTO THE AFTERNOON BRINGING AN END TO ANY PRECIPITATION. DRY...COLD
NORTHERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. IN
FACT...NEAR RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH TONIGHT
AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S FOR
COASTAL AREAS AND SINGLE DIGITS FOR SOME INTERIOR VALLEYS. HARD
FREEZE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR TONIGHT ALONG THE COAST AND
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AGAIN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE INDICATES
LOWS MAY PUSH NEAR 20 DEGREES IF WINDS BECOME COMPLETELY CALM
TONIGHT. FOR NOW HAVE STUCK WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 20 DEGREE TEMPS
BUT THIS COULD BE CONSERVATIVE PARTICULARLY FOR THE HUMBOLDT AND
DEL NORTE COASTS.

A SLOW WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN MONDAY INTO MID NEXT WEEK AS THE
TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST BEGINS TO SLIDE EAST ALLOWING SOME WARMER
AIR ALOFT TO MOVE OVER THE REGION. COLD AIR MAY BECOME TRAPPED IN
THE INTERIOR VALLEYS AS A STRONG INVERSION DEVELOPS BENEATH A
DEVELOPING RIDGE. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURES
THAN FORECAST FOR INTERIOR VALLEY LOCATIONS EACH DAY THROUGH MID
WEEK. WENT AHEAD AND LOWERED INTERIOR TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES EACH
DAY WITH THIS UPDATE CONSIDERING THIS POSSIBILITY AND A DOWNWARD
TREND IN THE MODEL CONSENSUS HIGH TEMPS SINCE YESTERDAY.

RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE NEXT WEEK AS FLOW BECOMES MORE ONSHORE
AND A SURFACE FRONT AND UPPER SHORTWAVE ADVANCE TOWARD THE COAST.
CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING OF THIS COMING FRONT AND IN PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS IS VERY LOW AS MODELS TEND TO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME BREAKING
DOWN BLOCKING PATTERNS. HOWEVER STILL HAVE TRENDED TOWARD
CLIMATOLOGICALLY NORMAL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGICALLY NORMAL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IN THE EXTENDED
CONSIDERING THE CHANGE TO MORE ONSHORE FLOW. RPA

.AVIATION...SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING PROMOTING
MVFR CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME.  LOWER INLAND VALLEYS ARE ALSO SEEING
SOME FREEZING GROUND FOG WHICH WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THE LATE
MORNING HOURS. SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND BE COMPLETELY GONE BY LATE AFTERNOON.
MORE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY FREEZING GROUND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER
INTERIOR VALLEYS AGAIN TOMORROW HOWEVER THE COAST MAY SEE ENOUGH
OFFSHORE FLOW TO PREVENT THOSE SITES FROM FOG IMPACTS.

&&

.MARINE...GUSTY NORTHERLIES AGAIN IMPACTING THE COASTAL WATERS THIS
MORNING AND SHOULD CONTINUE MOST OF THE DAY. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH AND FALL OUT OF GALE CRITERIA LATER THIS MORNING BUT REMAIN
IN SCA CRITERIA THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. BY TONIGHT THE WIND AND WAVES
SHOULD DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY HOWEVER THE OUTER WATERS WILL STILL SEE
THE EFFECTS OF THE PERSISTENT GRADIENT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE
OVER THE REGION SUN WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
