AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
338 AM PST FRI FEB 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE REGION WILL BRING WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA THIS
WEEKEND.
&&

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE E PAC WILL
RESULT IN DRY WX AND WARMER TEMPS THIS WEEKEND. SAT IMAGERY AND
SFC OBS SHOW SOME STRATUS/FG ALONG THE COAST AND INLAND VALLEYS
EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE LOW CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE BY MID MORNING
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILING ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. AS THE UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS TOWARDS THE COAST THIS
WEEKEND...THE OFFSHORE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE INHIBITING FG
FORMATION ALONG THE COAST. THIS WEAK OFFSHORE PATTERN WILL ALSO
RESULT IN WARMING TEMPS ACROSS THE INTERIOR WHILE COASTAL TEMPS
WILL BE TRICKY. GIVEN THE WEAK FLOW KEPT TEMPS AROUND MOS...BUT
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF COASTAL TEMPS ROSE INTO THE LOW TO MID
60S. UPPER RIDGE WILL SLOWLY PUSH E THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A
LONG WAVE TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE E PAC. UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT E
AND UPPER TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DOMINATE WX PATTERN BY MID WEEK
WITH COOLER AND WETTER WX EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
&&

.AVIATION...OFFSHORE WIND FLOW WILL KEEP FOG AND LOW CLDS ALG THE
CST PATCHY THIS MORNING. INLAND...FOG AND LOW CLD WAS MORE EXTENSIVE
BUT SHOULD MIX OUT THIS AFTERNOON WITH HEATING AND MIXING. EXCEPT
FOR PATCHY FG AND LOW CLD AGAIN TNGT...VFR CONDS WL CONT TO PREVAIL
AS OFFSHORE FLOW RESUMES.
&&

.MARINE...LIGHT TO MODERATE N WINDS WILL CONTINUE THRU SAT AS HI
PRES BUILDS TO OUR N. THE NLY WINDS WILL GENERATE SHORT PERIOD
WAVES WHICH SHOULD DOMINATE THE SEA STATE SPECTRUM THROUGH SAT.
THE COMBINATION OF WINDS AND SHORT PERIOD SEAS WILL RESULT IN
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDS TODAY THROUGH SAT...MAINLY OVER THE
OUTER WATERS. SEAS HAVE BEEN HOVERING AROUND 10 FT AT 13 SECONDS
AT BUOYS 27 AND 14 AND CDIP BUOY 244 THROUGH MOST THE NIGHT. THE
ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO INNER WATERS IF SEAS CONT AT
THIS LEVEL TODAY.

THE N WINDS WILL EASE ON SUNDAY AND SHIFT AROUND TO THE S BY SUN
NGT AS A LOW PRES SYSTEM BREAKS DOWN THE OFFSHORE RIDGE. LOW PRES
SHOULD GRADUALLY BURROW TOWARD THE COAST THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK
RESULTING IN MOD TO STG ELY AND SE WINDS AROUND MID WK AS A FNTL
BDRY APPROACHES THE CST.
