AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
409 AM PDT WED MAR 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SUNNY SKIES TO
THE AREA. A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME MORE CLOUDS TO
THE AREA FRIDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE WEST COAST
THIS MORNING. OFFSHORE FLOW IS BRINGING SOME DECENT EAST WINDS TO
THE AREA. THIS IS KEEPING COASTAL AREAS WARMER THAN
EXPECTED...SOME LOCATIONS HAVE WARMED INTO THE MID 50S. OTHER
AREAS SLIGHTLY MORE PROTECTED HAVE DROPPED INTO THE 40S. THE
MORE PROTECTED INLAND VALLEYS ARE STILL SEEING COOL
TEMPERATURES. CANCELLED THE FROST ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL AREAS
AND LEFT IT IN PLACE FOR INTERIOR MENDOCINO COUNTY. UKIAH HAS KEPT
THE WIND...HOWEVER WILLITS AND LAYTONVILLE HAVE DECOUPLED AND ARE
RIGHT AROUND THE MID 30S AS OF 3AM. THIS DRY AIR HAS ALSO KEPT
MUCH...IF ANY FOG FROM FORMING. TODAY SHOULD BE ANOTHER NICE DAY
WITH CLEAR SKIES AND TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY.

WATER VAPOR SHOWS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AROUND 135W. MODELS INDICATE
THAT THIS WILL APPROACH THE COAST ON THURSDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER IT
LOOKS TO FALL APART AS IT MOVES ONSHORE BRINGING ONLY VERY SMALL
AMOUNTS OF RAIN...IF ANY...TO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF OUR AREA.
THE MAIN IMPACT WILL LIKELY BE TO INCREASE CLOUD
COVER...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SPRINKLES
OR LIGHT RAIN IS FRIDAY MORNING.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE AREA.
OFFSHORE FLOW LOOKS TO BRING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND WARM
TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR
MUCH OF THE AREA. FROST IS POSSIBLE AT NIGHT...ALTHOUGH AT THIS
POINT IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW MUCH WIND THERE WILL BE. ALSO
TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL BE WARMER THAN THE LAST DAY OR SO WHICH
MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THINGS TO COOL OFF ENOUGH FOR
FROST.

THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE TRYING TO BRING A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW
OVER THE AREA AND A SHORT PERIOD OF LIGHT RAIN NEXT WEEK. THE 00Z
RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE SHOWING THIS TO BE ON WEDNESDAY OR
THURSDAY...HOWEVER THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE STRENGTH AND THE
TIMING. THE 06Z GFS CAME IN WITH RAIN ON TUESDAY...HOWEVER AT
THIS POINT WILL SIDE WITH THE SLOWER SOLUTIONS. THIS WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED AS IT GETS CLOSER. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS TO CALM CONDITIONS
WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL AT KCEC, KACV AND KUKI THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS
AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION.
HOWEVER THE WINDS WILL BECOME MODERATE AT KCEC AND KACV DURING THE
AFTERNOONS.

&&

.MARINE...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN UNITED
STATES HAS WEAKENED RELAXING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
WATERS. THEREFORE THE NORTHERLY WINDS AND THE SEAS WILL CONTINUE
TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH TODAY. THE WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTHERLY
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THE WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY
TONIGHT. MODERATE NORTHERLY WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS WILL PREVAIL
ACROSS THE WATERS THURSDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. SEAS WILL
INCREASE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS A SWELL MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS
AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BE NECESSARY ACROSS ALL THE WATERS
ON SUNDAY.

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...FROST ADVISORY UNTIL 9 AM PDT THIS MORNING CAZ076.

NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
NONE.
