Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 3:52 PM PST, 11 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
352 PM PST SUN DEC 7 2014
.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE COAST WILL BRING
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. A CHANCE OF
RAIN WILL PERSIST MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A STRONGER STORM WILL
ARRIVE AROUND MID WEEK AND PROMISES TO BRING HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THRU TUE NIGHT)...AS OF 21Z...THE NEXT RAIN
PRODUCER FOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA...IN THE FORM OF A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...WAS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. PRECIPITATION WAS ALREADY
SHOWING UP ON THE RADAR AND LIGHTNING HAS BEEN NOTED OFFSHORE WITH
THE APPROACHING FRONT. SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING UP TO 45
MPH OVER THE COASTAL RIDGES IN ADVANCE OF THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...WITH WINDS GUSTING UP TO 30 MPH AT SEA LEVEL ALONG THE
COAST. MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE
ARRIVAL OF THE RAIN. THE MAJORITY OF THE RAIN WILL MAKE LANDFALL ON
THE COAST AROUND 0Z AND PUSH INLAND THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS TRANSITIONING TO SHOWERS. STILL THINK THAT 0.10 TO 0.25 INCHES
OF RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS TO 0.50 INCHES IN THE
MOUNTAINS. CONTINUED TO MENTION THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OUTER
WATERS FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING AS
INSTABILITY REMAINS FAVORABLE.
GOING INTO MONDAY...MODELS PROG ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA...CONTINUING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN SHOWERS...GENERALLY ACROSS
MENDOCINO COUNTY AND EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY. MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW WILL INCREASE ON TUESDAY AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES
FROM THE NORTHWEST...BRINGING MORE RAIN CHANCES...HIGHEST NORTH OF
HUMBOLDT BAY. THERE ARE STILL MODEL DISCREPANCIES IN THE PLACEMENT
OF THE PRECIPITATION...WITH THE GFS BEING THE WETTEST. THIS WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED.
AS FAR AS COASTAL FLOODING CONCERNS...THE PREDICTED TIDE AT THE
NORTH SPIT TIDE GAUGE FOR MONDAY...DECEMBER 8TH IS 7.46 FT AT
12:09 PM. HAVE HELD OFF ON ISSUING A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR
AREAS AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY AT THIS POINT AS EVEN WITH AN ANOMALY OF
1 FOOT...HIGH TIDE WILL BE BELOW 8.8 FT...THE LEVEL WE NORMALLY
ISSUE CFW'S FOR. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. STP
&&
.LONG TERM...(WED THRU SUN) A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND VERY STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE
REGION BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY. A STRONG COASTAL JET WILL DEVELOP
AHEAD OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM ALONG THE OREGON COAST WEDNESDAY MORNING
AND THEN EXPAND SOUTH DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
EVENING. 925 MB WINDS IN THE NAM AND GFS PEAK OFF THE NW
CALIFORNIA COAST NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO IN THE 65-80 KT RANGE.
DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE STRONGEST WINDS REACH...THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS TRINIDAD AND CRESCENT CITY AND GUSTS
OVER 70 MPH IN THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG
WINDS...VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL MOVE ONTO THE COAST AS A DEEP
MOISTURE PLUME ASSOCIATED WITH AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER IMPACTS THE
COAST. THE 12Z ECMWF AND 18Z GFS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING
THE RAIN BEGINNING TO IMPACT HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES IN
THE LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY AND THEN SPREADING
SOUTH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE ECMWF INDICATES A
SECONDARY LOW MAY FORM OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST CAUSING
THE FRONT TO SLOW DOWN AND POSSIBLY STALL ON THURSDAY. THIS MAY
ALLOW THE HEAVY RAIN TO BE PROLONGED IN MENDOCINO COUNTY INTO
SOUTHERN TRINITY COUNTY. THE CALIFORNIA NEVADA RIVER FORECAST
CENTER AND WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER BOTH ARE LEANING TOWARD THE
SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION. IF THIS PANS OUT THERE WILL BE A FLOOD
THREAT WITH AREA RIVERS RISING RAPIDLY TO NEAR MONITOR OR FLOOD
STAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY IN SOUTHERN
HUMBOLDT...SOUTHERN TRINITY...AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES.
THE RAIN WILL DECREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS A COLD
AIR MASS MOVES OVERHEAD. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO NEAR 5000 FEET AND
POSSIBLY LOWER ALLOWING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO FALL TO SOME LOWER
ELEVATIONS. HOWEVER MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN AHEAD OF
THE FRONT REDUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT LOWER
ELEVATION SNOW.
BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT A SMALL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN
BEHIND THE DEPARTING FRONT ALLOWING FOR SOME CLEARING AND DRY
WEATHER FOR EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. RPA
&&
.AVIATION...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WERE FOUND ALONG THE COAST TODAY
AS A FRONT BRINGING RAIN APPROACHED THE AREA. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS
AND CONDITIONS VARYING FROM VFR TO IFR IN THE HEAVIEST RAIN
OVERNIGHT. RAIN WILL TRANSITION TO SHOWERS OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA WITH PERHAPS SOME PATCHY GROUND FOG AND LOW CLOUDS FORMING
ACROSS SOME OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS.
&&
.MARINE...A SERIES OF FRONTS WILL SWEEP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THIS
WEEK WITH STRONG TO GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS PRECEDING. STEEP
SOUTHERLY WAVES WILL ACCOMPANY THESE INCREASING WINDS. THE FIRST IS
MOVING THROUGH THE WATERS NOW AND IS CAUSING STRONG STORMS OVER THE
SOUTHERN WATERS UP TO NEAR EUREKA. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SOME
TOMORROW ONLY TO DETERIORATE MIDWEEK AS ANOTHER STRONG FRONT
APPROACHES THE WATERS. NEAR STORM FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT MOVES TOWARD THE COAST WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY EVENING. A MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO
COVER THIS POTENTIAL.
AN ACTIVE STORM TRACK IS ENTRENCHED OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC WITH A
CORE OF WINDS POINTING AT THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS
IS CAUSING LARGE WAVES WHICH ARE PROPAGATING TOWARD THE COAST. WAVES
MODELS ARE SHOWING FORERUNNERS ARRIVING ON TUESDAY THEN BUILDING
QUICKLY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS WESTERLY SWELL COULD REACH AS HIGH AS
18 FT AT 14 SECONDS ON WEDNESDAY. COMBINE THIS WITH GALES OUT OF THE
SOUTH AND THE ASSOCIATED STEEP WAVES AND COMBINED SEAS MAY REACH AS
HIGH AS 20 TO 24 FEET. LATE WEEK, MODELS ARE NOT IN GOOD AGREEMENT
MAKING FOR A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. OVERALL IT WILL BE A ROUGH
WEEK FOR THE COASTAL WATERS. RPA/BFG
&&
.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3 AM PST MONDAY FOR PZZ450-455.
