AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
940 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.

&&

.UPDATE...REVISED THE GRIDDED FORECAST THROUGH ABOUT 1 PM TODAY
TO ACCOUNT FOR SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY. SATELLITE SHOWED
SHALLOW MOISTURE MOVING TOWARD THE COAST AND INTO EUREKA AND
ARCATA AREAS PRODUCING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. NO ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED. A FEW SITES ABOVE ABOUT 2KT OVER THE COASTAL RANGES MAY
SEE A LITTLE ACCUMULATION. SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD END LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE FLOW BECOMES MORE NORTHERLY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 403 AM PST...
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.
