AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
319 PM PST THU DEC 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER THROUGH TONIGHT. A
STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA FRIDAY INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT. FOLLOWING A BRIEF LULL ON SATURDAY...ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING MORE RAIN TO THE AREA BEGINNING ON
SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...THE AFTERNOON RADAR SHOWS
A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. EXPECT
THESE LIGHT SHOWERS TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING, PROBABLY
BRINGING SPRINKLES TO SOME LOCATIONS. AS WE CONTINUE INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS THE POPS WILL RISE AS THE NEXT RAIN-MAKER
APPROACHES. HOWEVER, ANY SHOWERS THAT DO DEVELOP TONIGHT WILL BE
VERY LIGHT. THE MODELS REMAIN IN GREAT AGREEMENT SHOWING A TROUGH
PASSING OVER OUR AREA FRIDAY EVENING AND THEN MOVING TOWARDS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST BY SATURDAY MORNING. AS THE TROUGH APPROACHES
THE COAST TOMORROW IT WILL TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT. SOUTHERLY LOW
AND MID-LEVEL FLOW FLOW AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WILL DIRECT MOISTURE
AND PWATS AROUND 1 INCH INTO OUR COAST. LIGHT RAIN WILL BEGIN TO
AFFECT THE COAST FRIDAY MORNING, THEN INCREASING IN INTENSITY LATE
FRIDAY MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THERE COULD
BE PERIODS OF MODERATE TO MAYBE HEAVY RAIN, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
SOUTHWESTERLY UPSLOPE AREAS. SNOW WON'T BE A CONCERN AS SNOW
LEVELS WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE PASSES. MODELS STILL HINT AT SOME
INSTABILITY SOUTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO, WHICH MAY GENERATE A
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. LEFT THE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST, BUT
THEY REMAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE. SATURDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION TO
SHOWERS, WHICH WILL DECREASE AS THE TROUGH MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST,
AWAY FROM OUR AREA. THE BEST CHANCE OF REMNANT SHOWERS WILL BE
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF TRINITY COUNTY. BUT ANY SHOWERS WILL BE
LIGHT BECAUSE A WEAK RIDGE WILL BE QUICKLY PASSING OVER OUR REGION
ON SATURDAY, LIMITING SHOWER POTENTIAL. AS FOR THE QPF THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING, DEL NORTE COUNTY CAN EXPECT 1-1.5 INCHES WITH UP
TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. HUMBOLDT,
TRINITY, AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES CAN EXPECT 0.75-1.5 INCHES, WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.SUNDAY THE RIDGE MOVES TO THE EAST AND THE
NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES US FROM THE PACIFIC. MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED
ON SUNDAY. BUMPED UP POPS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD TO REFLECT THIS.
IT'S STILL A LITTLE TOO FAR OUT TO DETERMINE THE QPF DURING THAT
TIME PERIOD, BUT MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE SIMILAR AMOUNTS TO WHAT WE
MAY GET FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM (MON THRU THU)...RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ON MONDAY AS
A FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. MOIST ZONAL FLOW WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON TUESDAY CONTINUING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN
SHOWERS...MAINLY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. SHORTWAVE RIDGING LOOKS TO
BUILD OVER THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY WITH INCREASING HEIGHTS...BUT BY
LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG A SIGNIFICANT
STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THERE LOOKS TO BE AMPLE
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AVAILABLE WITH HIGH IVT VALUES FOR THIS TIME
FRAME. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR 7
DAYS OUT IN TIME AND THE RMOP SHOWS HIGH PREDICTABILITY WITH THIS
SYSTEM. SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE 7K FEET THROUGH EARLY IN
THE WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL. BOTTOM LINE...THE
WET PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE LONG TERM. STP

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LOW CLOUD COVER LINGERING WITHIN
INTERIOR VALLEYS. AS SOME OF THESE VALLEYS HAVE NOT CLEARED OUT
TODAY EXPECT THAT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR THESE
AREAS OVERNIGHT. ELSEWHERE CONDITIONS SHOULD SLOWLY DETERIORATE LATE
IN THE TAF PERIOD (FRIDAY AFTERNOON) AS THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPROACHES NW CALIFORNIA. PRE-FRONTAL SHOWERS DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW WILL CAUSE SLIGHT VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS WITHIN THE MVFR
RANGE. \KML

&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT AS AN APPROACHING
FRONT TIGHTENS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FARTHER OFFSHORE, HOWEVER, GUSTS NEAR 30 MPH
WILL BE POSSIBLE NEARSHORE BY CAPE MENDOCINO. NO CHANGES WERE MADE
TO THE EXISTING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES BUT WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN NEARSHORE WATERS. THERE WILL BE GUSTY
WINDS AND STEEPER SEAS A FEW MILES OFFSHORE FROM HUMBOLDT BAY BUT
OTHERWISE WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL HOVERING NEAR 25 MPH ACROSS MARINE
ZONE 455. FRESH TO STRONG WINDS AND STEEP SEAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
FRIDAY AND SUBSIDE ON SATURDAY AS WEAK RIDGING ALLOWS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TO RELAX AGAIN. THIS BREAK WILL BE SHORT LIVED SINCE WINDS
WILL INCREASE AGAIN SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MEANWHILE, A
WESTERLY SWELL WILL VERY GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND HELPING TO MAINTAIN AN ELEVATED SEA STATE. BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK A SECONDARY LARGE SWELL WILL IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS CAUSING
THE SEA STATE TO RISE TO AROUND 10 TO 15 FT AT 18 SECONDS. \KML

COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE A CONTINUED THREAT OVER THE NEXT FEW
MORNINGS AS HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES APPROACH 8 FT AND PROLONGED
SOUTHERLY WINDS GENERATE A SURGE PUSHING AGAINST THE COAST. EXPECT
FAVORED AREAS AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY TO EXPERIENCE FLOODING INCLUDING:
THE ARCATA BOTTOMS AND KING SALMON. EXPECT THE TIDAL ANOMALY TO BE
AROUND 1 FT OR A LITTLE LARGER AS SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE IS PREDICTED TO
REACH 8.05 FT AT 10 AM FRIDAY BUT MAY ACTUALLY BE CLOSER TO AROUND
9.3 FT. AS A RESULT A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY WAS ISSUED FOR FRIDAY
MORNING WITH IMPACTS EXPECTED TO BE SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING. THE
THREAT FOR COASTAL FLOODING WILL CONTINUE DURING THE MAXIMUM HIGH
TIDE ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN SUBSIDE BY SUNDAY. \KML
