AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
354 PM PST FRI FEB 6 2015

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY. ON SUNDAY...ANOTHER
SYSTEM WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN TO THE AREA. RAINS WILL DECREASE ON
MONDAY AND COME TO AN END MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER TROF OVER THE E PACIFIC...CONTINUING THE
FEED OF TROPICAL AND SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. RAINS
WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. ANOTHER POTENT
DISTURBANCE WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROF ON SUN AND APPROACH
THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING AN INCREASE TO RAINS ACROSS THE AREA
ONCE AGAIN. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED WITH 3 TO 5 INCHES IN THE HIGHER S-W FACING TERRAIN.
CONTINUED S WINDS WILL PRODUCE MORE DOWNSLOPING ALONG THE REDWOOD
COASTAL PLAIN WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS THAN THE REST OF THE AREA.

2 OR 3 MORE PERIODS OF STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED...PARTICULARLY
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AND ACROSS THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS. THE 1ST
SURGES...LATE TONIGHT AND AGAIN SAT EVENING...ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHTER THAN LAST NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE NAM IS INDICATING A STRONG
COASTAL JET SUN AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS COULD BRING AT LEAST
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ALONG THE COASTAL PLAINS AND HIGHLANDS.

THE BEST CHANCES FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT APPEARS TO
BE FROM FRI EVENING THRU THE DAY SAT OVER THE N COASTAL WATERS AND
ADJACENT LAND AREAS OF THE REDWOOD COAST. CONFIDENCE IS LOW...BUT
MODEST INSTABILITY VALUES SHOULD COUPLE WITH STRONG DYNAMICS TO
PRODUCE AT LEAST A FEW STORMS. ENUF SHEAR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR
SOME ORGANIZATION AND LONGEVITY OF WHATEVER DOES DEVELOP.

SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP ENUF OVER THE TRINITY HORN TO
ALLOW FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS THIS
EVENING THRU SAT MORNING. TOTALS OF AROUND 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
ON THE RIDGETOPS WITH LESSER AMOUNTS AT PASS LEVEL.

HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST ON
TUE AND SHOULD FINALLY BRING AN END TO THIS RAIN EVENT. /SEC

&&

.AVIATION...A DISTURBANCE IS BRINGING PRECIPITATION TO NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA. EXPECT VFR/MVFR DUE TO CLOUDS AND -SHRA THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...THE AFTERNOON BUOY OBSERVATIONS ARE REPORTING SEAS RANGING
ANYWHERE FROM 13 FT NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST TO 18 FT FURTHER
OFFSHORE. THERE WAS NO ASCAT PASS ACROSS OUR WATERS THIS AFTERNOON,
SO THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY OVER HOW STRONG THE WINDS REALLY ARE.
THE FRONT THAT BROUGHT THE STRONG WINDS TO OUR WATERS IS IN THE
PROCESS OF MOVING INLAND. AS A RESULT, WINDS WILL EASE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, VERY STEEP SHORT PERIOD SEAS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. LEFT THE SE.W'S UNCHANGED
FOR THE OUTER WATERS, BUT EXTENDED IT INTO ZONE 455 TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE CURRENT CONDITIONS, WHICH MEET SE.W CRITERIA. ZONE 450 IS
BORDERLINE, SO HELD OFF ON ISSUING A WARNING. HOWEVER, SC.Y'S WILL
BE UP FOR ALL OF THE ZONES INTO THIS EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING WINDS
BRIEFLY INCREASING AGAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR NORTHERN WATERS LATE
TONIGHT. THIS IS DUE TO A DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA. SINCE
MODELS SHOW GUSTS TO 35-40 KT FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS, ISSUED A GL.W FOR
ZONE 470. OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO GALE FORCE ARE EXPECTED FOR ZONE 450,
SO HELD OFF ON A WARNING. BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED IN CASE
WINDS ARE STRONGER THAN EXPECTED. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL EASE ON
SATURDAY AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES INLAND. THIS SHOULD ALLOW SEAS TO
SUBSIDE, MEANING ALL WARNINGS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AS
ADVERTISED. FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO SUNDAY AS A STRONG LOW DEVELOPS
OFFSHORE AND MOVES TOWARDS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. MODELS ARE STILL
SHOWING SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EXACT INTENSITY AND TRACK OF
THE LOW. THE CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATES A FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO BRING STRONG GALE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
OUTER WATERS ON SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY GALE CONDITIONS TO THE INNER
WATERS. SINCE SOME OF THE MODELS INDICATE OCCASIONAL GUSTS
APPROACHING STORM FORCE WITH THIS FRONT, ISSUED A GL.A ACROSS THE
OUTER WATERS FOR THIS. SEE THE MWW FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS AND
EVERYTHING ELSE STATED ABOVE. BEYOND SUNDAY, THE WEATHER PATTERN
LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT QUIET DOWN.

THE NAVARRO RIVER AT NAVARRO IS STILL FORECAST TO CREST OVER
