AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
440 AM PST FRI DEC 26 2014

.SYNOPSIS...COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE DELIVERS BRISK AND DRY NORTHERLY FLOW TO
THE REGION. EVEN COLDER AIR IS IN STORE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA
OVER THE E ROCKIES. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE E PAC WILL AMPLIFY
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW COOL N FLOW TO CONTINUE TO
POUR INTO THE AREA.

A FREEZE WARNING CONTINUES THIS MORNING FOR THE N COAST INTERIOR
ZONE WITH A FROST ADVISORY FOR THE REDWOOD AND MENDOCINO COASTAL
ZONES. THE FREEZE IN THE N COAST INTERIOR ZONE WILL LIKELY END THE
LATE GROWING SEASON THERE...SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING PRODUCTS
FOR THE COLD WX TONIGHT. ANOTHER FROST ADVISORY WILL PROBABLY BE
NECESSARY FOR THE COASTAL ZONES.

A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON SUN PRECEDED
BY A FEW SHOWERS OVER THE N. THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE E PAC WILL
REALLY AMPLIFY DURING THIS TIME WITH A CLEAR SHOT OF COLD AIR DOWN
THE WEST COAST FROM NW CANADA. LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE KEEPING A
DEEP TROF FROM CENTRAL CANADA TO NV...PERHAPS WITH A CUT OFF LOW
DEVELOPING OVER S NV BY THE MIDDLE OF THE COMING WEEK. IF THIS
DEVELOPS...A RIDGE WILL BUILD N OF THE UPPER LOW. HOWEVER...THE
COLDEST WX OF THIS YOUNG WINTER IS EXPECTED ON TUE AND WED
MORNINGS. FREEZING TEMPERATURES MAY STILL MAKE IT TO THE COAST...
ALTHO THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT A RATHER TIGHT GRADIENT MAY
DEVELOP BETWEEN AN INVERTED SURFACE COASTAL TROF AND HIGH PRESSURE
NE OF THE AREA. IF THIS DEVELOPS...THE COMBINATION OF MORE LOW-
LEVEL MIXING AND SOME DOWNSLOPING MAY MODIFY THE COLD AIR MASS...
PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COAST. /SEC

&&

.AVIATION...HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD WILL HELP MAKE FOR GOOD AVIATION
CONDITIONS TODAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PATCHY FOG THAT DEVELOPED
ACROSS SOME INTERIOR VALLEYS LAST NIGHT. EXPECT PATCHY VALLEY FOG TO
BURN OFF BY LATE MORNING. OTHERWISE VFR PREVAILS WITH PATCHY VALLEY
FOG POSSIBLE AGAIN TONIGHT. \KML

&&

.MARINE...A WEAKENING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY ALLOW
WINDS TO DECREASE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW
END SMALL CRAFT WINDS CAN BE OBSERVED MOSTLY ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE THERMAL TROUGH SLIDES OFFSHORE. I ALLOWED THE
GALE WARNING TO EXPIRE THIS MORNING AND PUT AN ADVISORY IN ITS PLACE
FOR THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. ADDITIONALLY I
HOISTED AN ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS STARTING THIS
AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KT CAN BE OBSERVED BEYOND 10 NAUTICAL
MILES.

GENTLE TO FRESH WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE
AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INCREASES NORTHERLIES ON MONDAY.
THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF REGARDING THE
TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM THUS THE ECMWF HANGS ON TO STRONG WINDS LONGER
THAN THE GFS. WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR MODELS TO FALL INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER ANY PRODUCTS WILL BE NEEDED
EARLY NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE A NEW SWELL TRAIN ARRIVING TONIGHT WILL
HELP MAINTAIN THE SEA STATE NEAR 7 FT INTO THE WEEKEND. \KML
