AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
301 PM PST THU FEB 5 2015

.SYNOPSIS...RAINS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
ALONG WITH GUSTY COASTAL AND RIDGE TOP WINDS. SHOWERS WILL PERSIST
ON SATURDAY. ON SUNDAY...ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN TO
THE AREA AGAIN.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER TROF WILL CONTINUE TO DIG OVER THE E
PACIFIC...CONTINUING THE FEED OF TROPICAL AND SUB-TROPICAL
MOISTURE. SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THIS LARGER
SCALE TROF...AND THIS WILL LEAD TO THE PERIODIC INCREASES IN QPF
AMOUNTS FROM INTO THE WEEKEND. HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE ENTIRE CWA WITH THIS EVENT...WITH HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS
APPROACHING 10 INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHER SW FACING TERRAIN. WITH
THE PERSISTENT S-SE WINDS...AT TIMES QUITE STRONG...RAIN SHADOWING
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE HUMBOLDT BAY REGION...PERHAPS
EXTENDING N ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN INTO DEL NORTE COUNTY. THE
KING RANGE AND THE SISKIYOUS OF E DEL NORTE COUNTY WILL BE THE
MOST FAVORABLE AREAS FOR HEAVY PRECIP...DUE IN PART TO THE
STRONGEST OROGRAPHIC LIFT.

WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN
AND ACROSS THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS. RIDGE TOPS FARTHER INLAND WILL
ALSO EXPERIENCE STRONGER WIND GUSTS...PARTICULARLY IN THE TRINITY
HORN AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. THE NEXT WIND MAXIMUM IS FORECAST
TO OCCUR TONIGHT INTO FRI MORNING. FORECAST WINDS AND GUSTS LOOK
MARGINAL FOR A WIND ADVISORY AT THIS TIME...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO
BE CLOSELY MONITORED BY THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHIFTS. WIND
GUSTS OVER 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE OVER EXPOSED HIGHER TERRAIN WITH
GUSTS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.

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 LATE
FRI AND FRI NIGHT. TOTALS OF AROUND 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ON THE
RIDGETOPS WITH LESSER AMOUNTS AT PASS LEVEL.

THE LAST IN THE SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA
LATE MON. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD BEHIND THIS
DISTURBANCE AND SHOULD FINALLY BRING AN END TO THIS RAIN EVENT.
/SEC

&&

.AVIATION...A FRONT APPROACHING NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA IS BRINGING MVFR
DUE TO WIDESPREAD RAIN. EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT. LOCAL DROPS TO IFR IS POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN
BANDS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE
OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.MARINE...THE AFTERNOON BUOY OBSERVATIONS ARE REPORTING SEAS RANGING
ANYWHERE FROM 12 FT NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST TO 17 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. A
STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA WILL BRING STRONG SOUTHERLY
GALE CONDITIONS TO THE OUTER WATERS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. LEFT THE
GL.W'S UNCHANGED. MODELS NOW INDICATE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE INNER
WATERS SHOULD DETERIORATE TO GALE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING, SO ISSUED
GL.W'S FOR THE INNER WATERS. WINDS SHOULD EASE LATE FRIDAY, AS THE
FRONT MOVES INLAND. BUT VERY STEEP SHORT PERIOD SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. ISSUED SE.W'S FOR THE OUTER WATERS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS. SEE THE MWW FOR MORE DETAILS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE EEL RIVER AT FERNBRIDGE AND THE NAVARRO RIVER AT
NAVARRO ARE STILL FORECAST TO CREST OVER FLOOD STAGE...WITH A
CREST TIME NOW TOWARD MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT. THE EEL RIVER NEAR
SCOTIA...THE MAD RIVER NEAR ARCATA...THE RUSSIAN RIVER NEAR
HOPLAND...THE S FORK OF THE EEL RIVER NEAR MIRANDA AND THE VAN
DUZEN RIVER NEAR BRIDGEVILLE ARE FORECAST TO RISE NEAR OR INTO
MONITOR STAGE. /SEC
