AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
1051 PM PST WED FEB 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH THIS EVENING SENDING
OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SHOWERS SOUTHWARD INTO MENDOCINO COUNTY
OVERNIGHT. SOME SHOWERS WILL LINGER ON THURSDAY BEFORE HEAVIER RAIN
ARRIVES NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY BRINGING LOCALLY
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO AREAS NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. RAINFALL
RATES HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS A HALF INCH PER HOUR IN THE HEAVIER BANDS
IN DEL NORTE COUNTY. TOTAL AMOUNTS HAVE RANGED FROM 1.5 TO 2.5
INCHES IN DEL NORTE COUNTY, A TENTH TO A HALF INCH OVER MOST OF
HUMBOLDT COUNTY, WITH LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL IN MENDOCINO COUNTY.
WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTY IN CRESCENT CITY AS EXPECTED BUT GENERALLY IN
THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE. PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN ARE EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON IN EUREKA WITH A SHORT BURST OF HEAVIER RAIN LATE IN THE
EVENING AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

THIS FRONT WILL SLOWLY SPREAD SOUTH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH THERE IS
STILL SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS ON HOW FAR SOUTH THIS
WILL MAKE IT. SO FAR IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING SOUTH A BIT SLOWER
THAN EXPECTED. TEND TO FAVOR THE NAM KEEPING IT A BIT FARTHER
NORTH. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME LESS WIDESPREAD AND MORE
SHOWERY IN NATURE OVERNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT LOSES ITS PUNCH
WHILE PUSHING SOUTHWARD INTO MENDOCINO COUNTY. AS FAR AS THE
RIVERS GO...THE SMITH RIVER IS EXPECTED TO RISE THE MOST...BUT
WILL STAY WELL BELOW MONITOR STAGE THROUGH THURSDAY.

THURSDAY GENERALLY LOOKS DRIER AS THE FRONT STALLS OVER NORTHERN
MENDOCINO COUNTY IN THE MORNING, BEFORE RETURNING AS A WARM FRONT BY
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THIS
FRONT. WHILE THERE MAY BE TIMES OF DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF
CAPE MENDOCINO, SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY WHERE THE
FRONT GETS HUNG UP OVER NRN MENDOCINO AND SRN HUMBOLDT COUNTY. RAIN
MAY BEGIN INCREASING ACROSS THE NORTH COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON. FOR
NOW KEPT LIKELY POPS FOR MOST OF NW CA...BUT THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT SHIFT MAY NEED TO ADD MORE DETAIL AS THE TIMING BECOMES
MORE CERTAIN. HIGHER CONFIDENCE EXISTS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
THAT AREAS NORTH OF MENDOCINO COUNTY WILL SEE WIDESPREAD HEAVIER
RAINFALL. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS FRONT...ALTHOUGH AT
THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE MAIN AREA OF RAINFALL WILL LIFT NORTHWARD WITH
THE WARM FRONT. SATURDAY MORNING THE FOCUS IS AGAIN NORTHERN DEL
NORTE COUNTY WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN. DURING THE DAY SATURDAY A COLD
FRONT WILL THEN ARRIVE WITH HEAVY RAIN PUSHING SOUTHWARD THROUGH
HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. JUST AHEAD
OF THE FRONT SW WINDS WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 50 KT JUST A COUPLE
THOUSAND FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THESE WILL LIKELY BE THE STRONGEST
WINDS OF THE WEEK, AND A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE REDWOOD
COAST. BEHIND THE FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT SNOW LEVELS DROP AND THE
PRECIP BECOMES MORE SHOWERY. THERE COULD BE SOME SNOW AS LOW AS 4000
FEET. SUNDAY THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS IN THE MORNING
WITH CONDITIONS GENERALLY IMPROVING THROUGH THE DAY.

MONDAY ANOTHER FRONT STARTS TO APPROACH THE AREA WITH STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF IT. RAIN MAY ARRIVE AS EARLY AS MONDAY
AFTERNOON OR AS LATE AS MONDAY NIGHT ALONG THE NORTH COAST, BEFORE
SPREADING SOUTHWARD AND INLAND ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING MORE
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO THE AREA. MOST OF THE PRECIP LOOKS TO FALL IN
THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS FRONT...BUT THERE IS MUCH COLDER AIR BEHIND
THIS FRONT THAN PREVIOUS SYSTEMS. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF
THIS...THERE COULD BE SNOW AS LOW AS 2000 FEET. SMALL HAIL MAY BE A
POSSIBILITY AT THE COAST AS WELL. CURRENTLY THE ECMWF IS COLDER THAN
THE GFS...BUT THE GFS IS TRENDING COLDER. MKK/AAD

&&

.AVIATION...VFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS ARE OCCURRING AT
KUKI THIS AFTERNOON. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL DECREASE
OVERNIGHT AS CLOUDINESS INCREASES AND SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.
THEREFORE MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR AT KUKI THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. MVFR TO IFR AND TEMPORARY LIFR CONDITIONS AND MODERATE
WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT KCEC AND KACV THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT AS
SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. THE LOWER CONDITIONS ARE DUE TO
DECREASED CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. THE WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT
OVERNIGHT AT KCEC AND KACV. THE SHOWERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A
WEAKENING COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT.
THE WINDS AND SEAS INCREASED TODAY IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. THE
STRONGER WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS HAVE OCCURRED ACROSS THE NORTHERN
WATERS. THE WINDS AND SEAS HAVE DIMINISHED SLIGHTLY THIS AFTERNOON
AND WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WATERS THIS WEEK.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARD THE AREA
SATURDAY INCREASING THE WINDS AND SEAS THIS WEEKEND. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS FRIDAY THROUGH
THIS WEEKEND AND THE SOUTHERN WATERS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND.
