AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1105 PM PST MON MAR 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN HAS BEGUN TO TAPER ACROSS NW CALIFORNIA THIS
EVENING AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO OVERNIGHT. TUESDAY WILL BRING A
BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM THE RAIN BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS TO
IMPACT THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. EXPECT COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF RAIN ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...EVENING SATELLITE AND RADAR SHOW AN END TO THE STEADY
RAIN. WHILE PERIODS OF RAIN REMAIN POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT, MODELS ARE
INDICATING A GENERAL DRYING TREND THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY. THE
EVENING UPDATE IS MAINLY FOR LOWERING OF POPS FOR OVERNIGHT, BUT
HAVE KEPT THE WORDING OF OCCASIONAL RAIN. QPF REMAINS SIMILAR WITH
ONLY ANOTHER HUNDREDTH OR SO EXPECTED, MAX. FOCUS CONTINUES TO
REMAIN ON WEDNESDAY. BFG

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 323 PM PST...

SYNOPSIS...WET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING AS
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE BRINGS RAIN TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. BRIEF
DRYING TUESDAY BEFORE A STRONGER...WETTER STORM IMPACTS THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
DISTURBANCES HAVE IMPACTED THE AREA TODAY. THE FIRST SHORTWAVE
MOVED THROUGH OVERNIGHT INTO THIS MORNING BRINGING RAINFALL
RANGING FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF DEL NORTE
COUNTY...TO AROUND A HALF INCH AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY AND SOUTHERN
MENDOCINO COUNTY...TO AS MUCH AS 4 INCHES IN THE KING RANGE. A
SECOND SHORTWAVE HAS ALREADY MOVED ONSHORE AS EVIDENT FROM RADAR
AND IR SATELLITE DATA. RAIN RATES HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 0.40 TO
0.75 INCHES/HOUR ACROSS NORTHERN MENDOCINO COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON.
MOST OF THE RAIN WILL BE FOCUSED FROM AREAS SOUTH OF HUMBOLDT BAY
OVERNIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF TO SHOWERS TUESDAY...AS
SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDS IN OVER THE AREA. ANOTHER HALF OF AN INCH
TO LOCALLY 1 TO 3 INCHES IN SOUTHWEST FACING TERRAIN CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN FOCUSED
ACROSS NORTHERN MENDOCINO AND SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT AND TRINITY
COUNTIES. AREAS NEAR HUMBOLDT BAY WILL LIKELY SEE SOME RAIN
SHADOWING AS WINDS REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTH.

THE NEXT RAIN PRODUCER IS PROGGED TO APPROACH NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
TUESDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. DIFFERENCES REMAIN IN TIMING BETWEEN THE GFS AND
NAM...WITH THE NAM BRINGING IN PRECIPITATION ABOUT 6 TO 12 HOURS
EARLIER THAN THE GFS. HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE GFS AS IT HAS BEEN
MORE CONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO LOOK
GOOD...WITH PWAT VALUES OF 1.25 TO 1.5 INCHES FOCUSED OVER
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. THIS IS FURTHER EVIDENT BY HIGH VALUES OF
IVT AND RETURN INTERVALS OF WV TRANSPORT AT 00Z THURSDAY OVER DEL
NORTE COUNTY OUTSIDE OF CLIMATOLOGY. HOWEVER...THE FOCUS OF THE
BEST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE SHORT LIVED. RAIN AMOUNTS
LOOK TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES IN DEL NORTE COUNTY...TO 0.50 TO
1.5 INCHES ELSEWHERE. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
SYSTEM...ALTHOUGH WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE 6K FEET THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...BEFORE A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
SYSTEM BRINGS IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER SNOW
LEVELS WITH SHOWERS FOR THURSDAY. STP

LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...SHOWERS WILL
DIMINISH THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEMS PULLS OUT OF THE AREA. MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE IDEA THAT A SHORTWAVE RIDGE BUILDS INTO
THE AREA FOR FRIDAY. DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE HIGH CLOUDS MOVE
OUT OF THE AREA...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A CHANCE FOR SOME FOG TO FORM
IN THE VALLEYS DUE TO THE RECENT RAINFALL. THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS OF SOME WARM ADVECTION CLOUDS...BUT THESE DONT LOOK
TOO LIKELY AT THIS POINT. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN DRY.

SATURDAY...MODELS HAVE SPED UP THE NEXT SYSTEM FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY.
CURRENT MODEL RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE SHOWING SOME PRECIP
STARTING LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN DEL NORTE COUNTY AND SLOWLY
SPREADING SOUTH THROUGH THE NIGHT. WITH THE SYSTEM COMING IN
SOONER...THE SOUTHERLY WINDS LOOK TO INCREASE SATURDAY MORNING...SO
REMOVED FOG FROM THE FORECAST. SUNDAY THE RAINFALL WILL TAPER OFF
AT SOME POINT DURING THE DAY...ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT IT IS
DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT A TIME. THIS TIMING WAS SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER
THAN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS WERE SHOWING...HOWEVER THERE WAS GOOD
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MODELS AND THEY WERE SIMILAR TO THE 00Z GFS RUN
FROM LAST NIGHT. SO...CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE AT THIS POINT. SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS MAY BE LOCALLY HEAVY WITH THESE RAINS...HOWEVER THE
PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY ACTIVE WITH THE SYSTEMS ONLY BEING OVER THE
AREA FOR A FAIRLY SHORT TIME. MKK

AVIATION...MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT KCEC, KACV AND
KUKI THROUGH TONIGHT AS SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AT TIMES
REDUCING CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES TO THE LOWER IFR AND LIFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES.  MODERATE AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE
OCCURRING AT KCEC THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL OCCUR AT KCEC, KACV AND KUKI OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

MARINE...A SERIES OF STORMS IMPACTING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
PRODUCE SOUTHERLY WINDS AND ELEVATED SEAS ACROSS THE WATERS INTO
THURSDAY. GUSTS NEAR GALE FORCE ARE POSSIBLE NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO
ON WEDNESDAY DUE TO A COLD FRONT PASSING ACROSS THE WATERS. THE
WINDS AND SEAS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRIDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION RELAXING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT.
