Area forecast discussion, Jan 19, 3:49 PM PST, 10 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
349 PM PST SUN JAN 19 2014
.SYNOPSIS...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT CONTINUES TO BRING DRY
WEATHER TO THE WEST COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
&&
.DISCUSSION...A WEAK WAVE IS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH AND HAS
BROUGHT A FEW HIGH CLOUDS TO THE AREA. OFFSHORE FLOW HAS STARTED
TO STRENGTHEN BUT THE FOG HAS BEEN SLOW TO PUSH OF THIS AFTERNOON
AND THERE IS STILL SOME SITTING OFF HUMBOLDT BAY. ORIGINAL
THINKING WAS THAT WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW IT WOULD STAY CLEAR
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER WITH THE STRATUS AND FOG LINGERING JUST
OFFSHORE FROM HUMBOLDT BAY TO CAPE MENDOCINO EXPECT IT MAY RETURN
THIS EVENING. CRESCENT CITY IS MORE LIKELY TO STAY CLEAR OVERNIGHT
WITH STRONGER OFFSHORE FLOW UP THERE. OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE OVERNIGHT SO FOG MAY DIMINISH TOWARDS MORNING.
MONDAY ANY CLOUDS THAT DO FROM ALONG THE COAST OR IN THE INLAND
VALLEYS SHOULD CLEAR FAIRLY QUICKLY. TEMPERATURES INLAND WILL WARM
A BIT AND THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.
TUESDAY WILL BE MAINLY SIMILAR TO MONDAY...ALTHOUGH A FEW HIGH
CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON DUE TO A WEAK SYSTEM
APPROACHING THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO RIDE UP OVER THE RIDGE
TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN SINK DOWN AS AN INSIDE SLIDER ON WEDNESDAY.
THIS IS A PRETTY DRY TRAJECTORY SO A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE
MTNS ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE EXTENT OF THE RAIN WE SEE FROM IT.
COASTAL CLOUDS AND STRATUS WILL LIKELY RETURN AT THE IMMEDIATE
COAST STARTING ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE FLOW PATTERN
SWITCHES.
WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW MOVES DOWN OVER NEVADA FLOW WILL BECOME
OFFSHORE AND SKIES WILL CLEAR QUICKLY. THERE ARE STILL SOME TIMING
DIFFERENCES WITH THE ECMWF AND GFS BUT THE BOTH ARE DRY AND SHOW
THE INSIDE SLIDER TYPE SYSTEM. WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING WILL LIKELY SEE SOME POOR RH RECOVERIES OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS AND GUSTY WINDS.
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND
OFFSHORE IS EXPECTED TO BRING MORE SUNNY SKIES AND DRY WEATHER.
THE MODELS ARE HINTING AT A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER CENTRAL CA
WHICH WOULD HELP TO STRENGTHEN OFFSHORE FLOW ON FRIDAY. THE FLOW
BEGINS TO WEAKEN ON THE WEEKEND WHICH MAY ALLOW SOME CLOUDS TO
FORM SUNDAY MORNING AT THE COAST. MKK
&&
.AVIATION...VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS AREAS OF STRATUS ALONG THE
COAST. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW HUGE FLUCTUATIONS FROM VFR IN THE
CLEAR SKIES TO LIFR IN THE AREAS OF STRATUS/FOG. THE BEST GUESS IS
THE STRATUS WILL BUILD ALONG THE COAST THIS EVENING, BRINGING
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS. INLAND, EXPECT VFR TO PREVAIL.
&&
.MARINE...NEARSHORE BUOY OBSERVATIONS SHOW LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS
AROUND 10 FT NEAR 15 SEC. THIS IS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN WHAT THE
SWAN MODEL IS SHOWING, SO DROPPED THE SCA FOR THE INNER WATERS AND
CHANGED THE END TIME OF THE SCA FOR THE OUTER WATERS TO END
SOONER. A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALLOW LIGHT TO MODERATE
WINDS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK. A SERIES OF
LARGE WESTERLY SWELLS GENERATED FROM DISTANT STORMS WILL PROPAGATE
THROUGH THE WATERS THIS WEEK. THE NEXT SWELL SHOULD ARRIVE ON
MONDAY. ANOTHER SET OF SCA'S MAY BE NEEDED FOR THIS SWELL ON
MONDAY. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE MARGINAL MODEL PERFORMANCE CHOSE TO
HOLD OFF ISSUING ANOTHER SCA UNTIL THE SWELL PASSES OFFSHORE BUOY
#2, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
SHOULD STRENGTHEN MIDWEEK, BRINGING INCREASED NORTHERLY WINDS AND
SEAS.
&&
.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM PST THIS EVENING PZZ470-475.
