AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
330 PM PDT SAT APR 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WEST COAST WILL MAINTAIN WARM
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE INTERIOR THROUGH SUNDAY. THE COAST CAN
EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG...MAINLY DURING THE NIGHT AND MORNING
HOURS. AN UNSETTLED AND SHOWERY WEATHER PATTERN MAY BEGIN ON
TUESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE PASSING OVER NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON HAS FIRED OFF SOME SHOWERS AND WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE INTERIOR. RADAR INDICATES THEY ARE
PULSE-TYPE STORMS AND BOTH NLDN AND ENTLN SHOW ABOUT A DOZEN STRIKES
THROUGH THIS TYPING. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO KEEP PULSING FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN QUICKLY DIMINISH AS THE ATMOSPHERE
STABILIZES AROUND AND AFTER SUNSET. STRATUS AND FOG WILL THEN
RETURN TO THE COAST. THE MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SAGGING SOUTHWARD OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY.
THIS WILL ALLOW ANOTHER DAY OF WARM INTERIOR TEMPERATURES. EVEN ON
MONDAY THE MODELS MAINTAIN A RIDGE OVER THE AREA WITH NO
SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA. THE CHANCES FOR
CONVECTION ARE NOT LOOKING OVERLY IMPRESSIVE ON MONDAY, BUT KEPT A
SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FORECAST. THINGS CHANCE ON TUESDAY AS THE
GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE A SPLITTING UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING THE
WEST COAST. THE GFS CONTINUES TO INDICATE CONVECTIVE PRECIP
SPARKING UP WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY OVER THE INTERIOR ON TUE.
CONVECTIVE PARAMETER ARE FAVORABLE FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. THE
UPPER TROUGH MEANDERS OVER OR NEARBY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA INTO WED
AND A BROAD BRUSH CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THE MODELS PART COMPANY
SIGNIFICANTLY ON THU AND FRI. THE ECMWF WAS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
WITH DRIVING AN UPPER TROUGH AND PRECIP TOWARD THE NORCAL COAST BY
FRI. THE GFS WAS MUCH DRIER AND HAS A MEAN RIDGE BUILDING WITH
MOSTLY DRY WEATHER ON THU. IF THE ECMWF PANS OUT...TEMPERATURES
WILL BE DRASTICALLY COOLER IN THE INTERIOR (HIGH IN THE LOWER
60S). THE GFS INDICATES COOLING AS WELL...BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE OF
THE ECMWF. LEANED TOWARD THE LESS DRASTIC AND WARMER GFS SCENARIO
BUT MAINTAINED NEAR CLIMO PRECIP CHANCES.

&&

.AVIATION...STRATUS HAD SCOURED OUT FOR MOST AREAS NORTH OF CAPE
MENDOCINO AS OF 21Z...WHILE IT WAS MORE PERSISTENT ALONG THE
MENDOCINO COAST. FU FROM FIRES IN SIBERIA CONTINUES TO FILTER OVER
THE AREA TODAY CAUSING SOME HAZY CONDITIONS. CU BUILDING OVER THE
INTERIOR MOUNTAINS OF TRINITY AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SHOWERS AND A
FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. MVFR CONDITIONS AND SOME MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR ANY SHOWERS/T-STORM ACTIVITY.
CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE THROUGH THE EVENING AS DIURNAL HEATING
SUBSIDES. GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT LOW CLOUDS/FOG WILL PERSIST
ALONG THE MENDOCINO COAST...WHILE LOW CLOUDS WILL REDEVELOP ALONG
THE REDWOOD COAST. MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE. THE BIG
QUESTION MARK IS WHETHER OR NOT LOW CLOUDS WILL STAY ALONG THE
COAST OVERNIGHT...OR SCOUR OUT. ATTM...THINK THAT THE LOW CLOUDS
NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO WILL SCOUR OUT OVERNIGHT AS OFFSHORE FLOW
DEVELOPS...DRYING THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THE EVENING SHIFT WILL NEED
TO MONITOR THE SITUATION. STP

&&

.MARINE...N GALES WILL BE PEAKING OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS OVER
THE N OFFSHORE WATERS WITH SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR GALE FORCE AND
GUSTS TO NEAR 45 KTS. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH FAIRLY RAPIDLY
LATER TONIGHT AS THE INLAND THERMAL TROF PIVOTS OFFSHORE S OF CAPE
MENDOCINO. THIS WILL BRING LIGHT WINDS TO THE S NEAR SHORE ZONE
ALONG WITH PERIODS OF SOUTHERLIES ALONG THE MENDOCINO COAST. THE
MODELS HAVE A TOUGH TIME HANDLING THIS SHIFT IN THE WIND...SO HAVE
HAND EDITED SEVERAL GRIDS IN THE SHORT TERM. HAVE CONTINUED THE
HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING IN THE S OFFSHORE ZONE. BOTH THE HAZARDOUS
SEAS WARNING AND THE GALE WARNING ARE SCHEDULED TO END AROUND
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

THE NEXT SURGE OF N WINDS IS ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR LATE TUE OR TUE
NIGHT NEXT WEEK WITH GALE FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE OFFSHORE
WATERS INTO THU. ELEVATED WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO LAST LONGER OVER
THE S OFFSHORE ZONE. /SEC
