AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
333 PM PST MON DEC 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
ISOLATED SHOWERS PRIMARILY NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO THROUGH THIS
EVENING...FOLLOWED BY MOSTLY DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. EASTERLY WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) A COLD FRONT HAS BEEN
BRINGING SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TO HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE
COUNTIES TODAY. A FEW HUNDREDTHS HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT OTHERWISE
MOST AREAS HAVE ONLY SEEN A TRACE TODAY. FARTHER INLAND AND SOUTH
IN TRINITY AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES A FEW SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES WILL
BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. SNOW LEVELS ARE CURRENTLY
SITTING AROUND 3000 FEET AND WILL FALL THROUGH THE EVENING TO NEAR
2000 FEET AS THE COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTH OF THE AREA. AT THE SAME
TIME AS SNOW LEVELS FALL PRECIPITATION SHOULD DECREASE MAKING ANY
SNOW ACCUMULATION UNLIKELY OR AT LEAST VERY LIGHT.

THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION
BEHIND THE FRONT. MORNING LOWS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WILL LIKELY
BE IN THE 20S AND LOWER 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...POSSIBLY
WITH TEENS IN SEVERAL VALLEYS OF TRINITY AND NORTHERN MENDOCINO
COUNTIES WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AGAIN THURSDAY MORNING. THERE IS
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW COLD THE COAST WILL BECOME
WEDNESDAY MORNING CONSIDERING A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT LEADING TO SOME EASTERLY WINDS
DOWNSLOPING ALONG THE COAST. MOS GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO PREDICT LOWS
IN THE MIDDLE 20S FOR ARCATA...BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES NEARLY CALM
WINDS. THUS HAVE OPTED TO STAY ABOVE GUIDANCE BUT HAVE TRENDED DOWN
SLIGHTLY TO NEAR OR JUST BELOW FREEZING. LOWS STILL HAVE A DECENT
POTENTIAL TO FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS BLUE
LAKE...FIELDBROOK...FRESHWATER...KLAMATH GLEN AND SMITH RIVER EVEN
IF THE IMMEDIATE COAST REMAINS IN THE 30S. WITH THIS IN MIND...WENT
AHEAD AND ISSUED A HARD FREEZE WATCH FOR AREAS PRIMARILY NORTH OF
THE EEL RIVER AWAY FROM HUMBOLDT BAY/THE IMMEDIATE COAST FOR LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. CONSIDERING THURSDAY
MORNING MAY BE JUST AS COLD OR COLDER...MORE HARD FREEZE PRODUCTS
MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS WEDNESDAY MORNING.

WITH THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE REGION...STRONG EASTERLY
WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH 850 AND 925 MB WINDS OF 30-50 KT INDICATED
IN THE GFS AND NAM...STRONGEST FROM SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT/TRINITY
COUNTIES THROUGH MENDOCINO COUNTY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN VERY GUSTY
CONDITIONS OVER AREA RIDGE TOPS RESULTING IN DIFFICULT DRIVING
CONDITIONS AND TREE DAMAGE. THUS A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED
FROM EARLY TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE STRONGEST
WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR OVER SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT AND TRINITY COUNTIES
TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY WHILE THE STRONGEST WINDS IN
MENDOCINO COUNTY WILL LIKELY BE TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY
LEAVING MUCH LIGHTER WINDS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RPA

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH DRY AND SUNNY
WEATHER. INLAND EARLY MORNING VALLEY FOG WILL DEVELOP AND WITH
COLD TEMPERATURES COULD SEE SOME FREEZING FOG EARLY IN THE PERIOD.
A TROUGH DOES APPROACH INTO EASTERN PACIFIC ABOUT 140W ON MONDAY
WHICH WILL INCREASE THE CLOUDS BUT ANY RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL
THE MIDDLE OR LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
TO MODERATE WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS WARMING TO
THE 30S. DEAN

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
CONTINUE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING. THE SHOWERS WILL
REDUCE CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES AT TIMES AT KCEC AND KACV. VFR

KCEC AND KACV. VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT KUKI
OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS AND MODERATE AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PREVAIL
AT KUKI TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING
TO 20-25 KT IN THE OUTER WATERS AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION AND A SURFACE TROUGH PUSHES OFF THE COAST
AND TIGHTENS THE GRADIENT. THE WINDS WILL BRIEFLY SUBSIDE AS THE
GRADIENT WEAKENS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
INCREASES AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT NOW DUE TO A SURFACE
HIGH OFF THE PAC NW AND THE THERMAL TROUGH NEAR THE COAST. THERE
WILL BE A LARGE RANGE IN WIND SPEEDS WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
NEAR 30 KT IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE OUTER WATERS TO 15 KTS
IN THE SOUTH. WENT AHEAD AND EXTENDED THE SMALL CRAFT FOR THE
OUTER WATERS INTO LATE WED NIGHT SINCE THE BREAK BETWEEN THE
STRONGEST WINDS IS RELATIVELY BRIEF. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BECOMES
VERY WEAK FROM FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. SHORT PERIOD SEAS BUILD AS
THE WINDS INCREASE BUT THEN SUBSIDE STARTING THURSDAY. THE PACIFIC
SWELL IS LESS THAN 4 FEET AT 13 SECONDS FOR VERY CALM SEAS LATE IN
THE WEEK AND WEEKEND. DEAN
