AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
425 AM PDT WED OCT 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A DRYING AND WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE TODAY THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK AS A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS NOW BUILDING OVER THE WEST
COAST AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT
IN DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS FOR ALL AREAS OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA.
THE ONLY CAVEAT WILL BE OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES IN INTERIOR
VALLEY LOCATIONS WHERE GREAT RADIATIONAL COOLING UNDER CLEAR SKIES
WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO BELOW OR NEAR NORMAL FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LOCATIONS
TO SEE FROST ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT IN TRINITY COUNTY...BUT WITH VERY
FEW LOCATIONS APPROACHING FROSTY TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING...
CONFIDENCE IN FROST FORMING IS NOT VERY HIGH SO NO ADDITIONAL
FROST ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.

THE THERMAL TROUGH WILL PUSH OFF THE WEST COAST THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY POSSIBLY ALLOWING DOWNSLOPING WINDS TO REACH COASTAL AREAS.
THUS HIGH TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BUMPED UP SEVERAL DEGREES ALONG THE
COAST FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE THERMAL TROUGH WILL LIKELY PULL BACK
TO THE COAST ON SATURDAY AS NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASE AGAIN. IT LOOKS
LIKE THE NEXT CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD COASTAL STRATUS TO RETURN
WONT BE UNTIL LATE THIS COMING WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...A RIDGE JUST OFF OF THE COAST WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER
PATTERN. ALONG THE COAST...EXPECT VFR TO PREVAIL. A STRONG SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GENERATE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON. INLAND...EXPECT VFR TO PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...THE MORNING BUOY OBSERVATIONS SHOW A NORTHERLY MODERATE TO
STRONG BREEZE WITH WAVE HEIGHTS RANGING FROM 6-12 FT. THE 0420Z
ASCAT PASS OVER OUR WATERS SHOWED WINDS OF 20-25 KT ACROSS ZONE 470
AND 25-30 KT ACROSS ZONE 475. THIS SHOWS THE FORECAST AND THE
HEADLINES REMAIN ON TRACK. A RIDGE OFFSHORE INTERACTING WITH A
THERMAL TROUGH ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL MAINTAIN A STRONG
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TODAY INTO THIS EVENING, LEADING TO GALE
TO NEAR GALE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS. MODELS REMAIN IN
GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING GALE FORCE GUSTS ACROSS ZONE 475 EARLY THIS
MORNING. EXPECT THE GL.W TO EXPIRE THIS MORNING. BUT REMNANT STEEP
SEAS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING, SO ISSUED A SE.W FOR THAT ZONE.
ZONE 470 LOOKS LIKE IT WILL CONTINUE TO SEE OCCASIONAL GALE FORCE
GUSTS, SO KEPT THE SC.Y GOING. SEAS IN THAT ZONE WILL REMAIN STEEP,
SO KEPT THE SE.W GOING THROUGH TONIGHT. SEE THE MWW FOR MORE
DETAILS. THE SC.Y'S WERE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE FOR THE INNER WATERS AS
WIDESPREAD CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING. BUT LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND
SEAS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, ESPECIALLY AROUND
THE POINTS AND CAPES. WINDS AND SEAS WILL TREND DOWNWARD THURSDAY AS
THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS. EXPECT LIGHT WINDS ON FRIDAY
WITH WINDS TRENDING BACK UP THIS WEEKEND, MAINLY ACROSS THE OUTER
WATERS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...OFFSHORE FLOW OVERNIGHT HAS RESULTING IN GUSTY
CONDITIONS ON AREA RIDGE TOPS. SOME RIDGES HAVE HAD MODERATELY POOR
RECOVERIES TONIGHT WITH RH SITTING IN THE 30-50 PERCENT RANGE. THESE
CONDITIONS ARE RESULTING IN SOME INCREASED FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS...BUT WITH RECENT RAINFALL FUELS ARE NOT VERY RECEPTIVE.
WILL CONTINUE THE HEADLINE IN THE FIRE WEATHER FORECAST THROUGH THIS
MORNING. WINDS SHOULD DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS THE
THERMAL TROUGH BEGINS TO EXPAND NORTH WEAKENING THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT. RPA
