AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
230 PM PDT FRI MAR 27 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAKENING FRONT WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS NORTH
OF CAPE MENDOCINO THIS EVENING. CLEARING SKIES AND DRY WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAKENING FRONT ABOUT 60NM OFFSHORE WILL TRAVERSE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. EXPECT IT TO PRODUCE LIGHT
RAIN ALONG THE NORTH COAST WITH PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS IN THE INTERIOR
NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO. DEL NORTE COUNTY WILL PROBABLY SEE A TENTH
OR LESS. A FEW HUNDREDTHS MAY OCCUR ELSEWHERE. GFS/ECMWF/NAM12 WERE
IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING PRECIP QUICKLY WINDING DOWN AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH SKIES CLEARING OUT ALONG THE NORTH COAST. THE ONLY
MODELS THAT HOLD ONTO PRECIP AFTER MIDNIGHT WERE THE HIGH RESOLUTION
NMM AND ARW. THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE A PUSH OF MARINE AIR TONIGHT
AS WINDS BECOME NORTH AND INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT.

RESIDUAL MOIST AIR AND LOW CLOUD COVER OVER MAINLY THE INTERIOR
VALLEYS SAT MORNING WILL CLEAR OUT THROUGH THE DAY AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT SHOWING THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF AN UPPER TROUGH SLIDING SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA ON SAT. WE REDUCED THE SHOWER CHANCES OVER THE
INTERIOR MOUNTAINS TO 10% OR LESS WITH CONDITIONS TOO DRY AND
STABLE FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN A FEW AFTERNOON CUMULUS.

SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED CLEARER SKIES/DRIER AIR TRAILING THE
FRONT. COASTAL AREAS WILL PROBABLY SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SOLAR
HEATING ON SAT. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM12 INDICATE A 10C DROPPED IN
925-85OMB LAYER TEMPERATURES. THIS COOLING WILL LIKELY WIPE OUT OR
SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKEN AND LIFT THE MARINE INVERSION.

A FLAT RIDGE ALOFT WILL BUILD ON SUN FOR SLIGHT WARMING IN THE
INTERIOR. NAM12 X-SECTIONS AND SOUNDINGS WERE NOT LOOKING VERY
FAVORABLE FOR A MAJOR RESURGENCE OF COASTAL STRATUS AND FOG.
GRANTED 925-850MB MEAN LAYER TEMPERATURES WARM UP TO 10C NORTH OF
CAPE MENDO AND TO 15C SOUTH...SO SOME LOW CLOUDS MAY FORM
NOCTURNALLY. THESE WILL PROBABLY CLEAR OUT WITH GROUND HEATING AND
MIXING. THEREFORE WILL BE OPTIMISTIC AND GO WITH MUCH LESS GRAY
SKIES ALONG THE NORTH COAST ON SUNDAY TOO.

ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
MONDAY NIGHT. THE TAIL END OF THIS FRONT WILL PROBABLY BRING
LIGHT RAIN TO FAR NW CALIFORNIA MON NIGHT. GFS AND ECMWF WERE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT...THOUGH THERE WERE SUBTLE TIMING DIFFERENCES.
RAINFALL FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT WITH ONLY A
3 TO 6HR WINDOW OF A TENTH OR TWO OF RAIN.

NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WILL BE SITUATED IN NORTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY
UPPER LEVEL FLOW TUESDAY THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR A COUPLE WEAK SHORTWAVES TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FOR
PERIODIC SHOWER CHANCES. THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE
A TROUGH DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NW TUE INTO EARLY WED...SO BEEFED
UP THE PRECIP CHANCES SLIGHTLY IN THE NORTHERN ZONES. IT IS NOT
LOOKING EXTREMELY WET...JUST COOLER WITH PERHAPS LOWER SNOW LEVELS.
THE MODELS HAVE BEEN HINTING AT ANOTHER SHORT-WAVE DROPPING DOWN
IN NW FLOW TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. FOR NOW WILL KEEP PRECIP
CHANCES UNDER 15% UNTIL THE MODELS LATCH ONTO THE TIMING WHICH
MAY BE AS EARLY AS FRIDAY OR AS LATE AS NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...MOST COASTAL AIRFIELDS HAVE OBSERVED HIGHER CEILINGS AS
COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WITH RESTRICTIONS IN THE MVFR
CATEGORY. COASTAL STRATUS SHOULD HOLD STRONG THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE DAY AS THE WEAK FRONT SHIFTS EASTWARD PUSHING THE DEEPER
MARINER LAYER FARTHER INLAND. NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS A CHANCE TO SEE
PATCHES OF BLUE SKY ALONG THE COAST BEFORE NIGHTFALL. UPPER LEVEL
CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE REGION WIDE AS THE FRONT PASSES OVER
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA TONIGHT BRINGING A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY FOR SOME
DRIZZLE AND GUSTY WINDS. COOLER AND DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
HELP IMPROVE CONDITIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND BRING VFR CONDITIONS TO
MOST OF NW CALIFORNIA BY DAY BREAK SATURDAY. KML

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THIS EVENING
AS A WEAK FRONT PASSES OVER NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. BEHIND THE
FRONT, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST CAUSING
NORTHERLY WINDS TO INCREASE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THE
HIGHEST WINDS WILL FOR THE MOST PART BE LOCATED SOUTH OF CAPE
MENDOCINO. AS A RESULT A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS STARTING TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY THE SOUTHERN
INNER WATERS VERY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND
DEVELOPING THERMAL TROUGH MAINTAIN A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT.
WINDS WILL EASE EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A PASSING SHORTWAVE AND THEN
INCREASE AGAIN LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE RIDGE AND THERMAL TROUGH
DEVELOP.

A WESTERLY WAVE SYSTEM WILL KEEP SEAS ELEVATED THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH STEEP SHORT PERIOD SEAS DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO THE
INCREASING WINDS. MEANWHILE, A SMALL SOUTHERLY SWELL WILL CONTINUE
TO PROPAGATE THE WATERS BRINGING 4 TO 7 FT BREAKERS ON SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST FACING BEACHES AND ANCHORAGES. OTHERWISE, ADDITIONAL WEST-
NORTHWEST WAVE SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH ALL OF
NEXT WEEK. KML
