AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
348 PM PDT THU JUL 16 2015

.SYNOPSIS...STRATUS AND PERHAPS FOG WILL INCREASE AT THE COAST THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
SLACKEN UP AND GO SOUTHERLY. SEASONABLY WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS
WILL PERSIST IN THE INTERIOR THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS A STRONG
RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC EXTENDS TOWARD THE COAST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...STRATUS AND FOG HAS BEEN MEANDERING AROUND ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COASTLINE OF MENDOCINO COUNTY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.
THE SOUTHERLY WIND REVERSAL THAT ADVECTED THE STRATUS NORTHWARD
WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT. THE LAYER WILL REMAIN VERY SHALLOW AND
CONFINED TO THE SHORELINE. THE STRATUS SHOULD ROUND THE CAPE
TOMORROW MORNING AND SPREAD ONTO THE NORTH COAST THROUGH THE DAY
IN PATCHES. THE GFS AND HIGH RESOLUTION NAM WERE NOT IN GREAT
AGREEMENT HERE. THE GFS HAS THE WINDS GOING SOUTHERLY SLOWER
AND KEEPS THE STRATUS SOUTH OF PUNTA GORDA THROUGH THE DAY.
THE NAM12 HAS WINDS GOING SOUTHERLY NEAR SHORE BY 15Z. LEANED
TOWARD THE HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM WHICH HAS MORE VERTICAL LAYERS
NEAR THE SURFACE AND A BETTER REPRESENTATION OF THE TOPOGRAPHY.
ALL THE MODELS TEND TO BE TOO SLOW AND HANDLE THE WIND REVERSALS
AND SMALL SCALE DENSITY CHANGES POORLY. ALSO THERE IS SLIGHT
CHANCE OF PATCHY DENSE FOG INITIALLY AS THE FOG ROLLS IN OFF
THE OCEAN.

ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA TODAY...SKIES HAVE BEEN CLEAR TODAY WITH
MOST ALL REPORTING STATIONS WARMER THAN YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME. IT
DID HIT 78F AT ARCATA-EUREKA MUNI AND 70F AT WFO EUREKA ON WOODLEY
ISLAND. A FEW RAWS IN THE INTERIOR WERE ALREADY 100-103F AS OF 3PM.
UKIAH MUNI HAS BEEN APPROACHING THE 100F MARK AS WELL. THE WARM
UP TODAY WILL START TO LEVEL OFF OR REVERSE ON FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY
AT THE COAST AND ADJACENT VALLEYS EXPOSED TO MARINE AIR
INFLUENCES. INTERIOR AREAS AWAY FROM THE COOLING SEA BREEZES WILL
SEE LITTLE OR NO CHANGE ON FRIDAY. SLIGHTLY BETTER COOLING IS
EXPECTED ON SAT AS MODIFIED MARINE AIR FILTERS INLAND AND A WEAK
TROUGH ALOFT SWOOPS DOWN FROM THE NORTH. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
TRENDING WARMER FOR THE WEEKEND THOUGH...AND MAX TEMPERATURES
HAVE BEEN NUDGED UPWARD SAT AND SUN. THE GFS...ECMWF AND NAM12
CONTINUE TO SHOW THE TAIL END OF AN UPPER TROUGH SLIDING SOUTHWARD
OVER THE AREA BY SAT MORNING. THIS TROUGH WILL BE TOO DRY AND
CONDITIONS WILL BE TOO STABLE FOR SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...SO
TRENDED PRECIP CHANCES DOWNWARD ON SATURDAY. THE GEM CONTINUES TO
BE AN OUTLIER WITH FORMING A CLOSED LOW JUST OFFSHORE THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST ON SUNDAY. THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE A CLOSED LOW
FORMING AS WELL BUT MUCH FARTHER TO OUR SOUTH OFFSHORE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN CAL. LEANED TOWARD THE GFS AND ECMWF HERE AND MAINTAINED
A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SUNDAY.

MON THROUGH THU...A CLOSED UPPER LOW OFFSHORE THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST WILL START TO LIFT OUT TO THE ENE MON
INTO TUE. THE GFS AND ECMWF WERE NOT IN GREAT AGREEMENT HERE ON
THE LOCATION AND TIMING. THE ECMWF HAS THE LOW FARTHER NORTH AND
EJECT IT OUT TO THE ENE FASTER THAN THE GFS. EVEN THOUGH THE ECMWF
IS FARTHER NORTH WITH THE LOW...IT WILL STILL BE TOO FAR SOUTH TO
GENERATE SHOWERS OR TSTMS. THE MODELS HAVE NOT BEEN DOING ALL THAT
GREAT AND A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK IS NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE
QUESTION. THE UPSTREAM KICKER...A LARGE SCALE TROUGH IN THE GULF
OF AK...WILL SLOWLY DIG SOUTHWARD OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MID TO
LATE NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN COOLER TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE BOARD...WITH PERHAPS A DEEPER MARINE LAYER EXTENDING INTO THE
INTERIOR EACH NIGHT AND MORNING. THIS UPPER TROUGH APPEARS TO BE
DRY WITH LITTLE OR NO DYNAMICS FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIP PRODUCTION.
THUS WILL MAINTAIN A MOSTLY DRY FORECAST WITH NEAR CLIMO PRECIP
CHANCES WHICH IS NOT MUCH MORE THAN 10% FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION...SUNNY SKIES PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG CREPT UP THE COAST TO JUST S OF CAPE MENDOCINO BY
MIDDAY. THIS CLOUDINESS HAS STALLED ITS N PROGRESSION AS WINDS NEAR
AND N OF THE CAPE CONTINUE TO BLOW STEADILY OUT OF THE N. INDICATED
A BROKEN LOW DECK REACHING KACV BY 10Z IN EARLIER TAF SET. MAY NEED
TO ADJUST THIS A BIT...BUT LOW CLOUDS MAY ADVECT AROUND THE CAPE
LATE TONIGHT AS WINDS NEAR THE COAST DIMINISH A BIT AND BEFORE FLOW
VEERS TO W TO NW. UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH WITH THIS FORECAST...AND
MODELS ARE NOTORIOUSLY POOR AT HANDLING S SURGE UP THE COAST. GUSTY
COASTAL WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. WINDS MAY REMAIN
GUSTY THRU MORNING AT KCEC. /SEC

&&

.MARINE...N GALES WILL CONTINUE IN THE OFFSHORE WATERS THRU FRI
EVENING WITH SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE WATERS.
HAVE ADJUSTED WIND DIRECTIONS TO SOUTHERLY IN THE S NEAR SHORE
WATERS FOR THE 1ST PERIOD OR SO TO MATCH OBSERVATIONS AND THE HRRR
MODEL (HIGH RESOLUTION). SHAVED OFF 6 HOURS FROM THE END OF THE N
NEAR SHORE HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING. ALSO ADJUSTED SEAS DOWN 1-1.5 FT
IN THE FIRST 2-3 PERIODS TO BETTER MATCH OBSERVATIONS AND ADJOINING
OFFICE GRIDS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH OVER THE WEEKEND AND BECOME LIGHT
S ON SUN BEFORE TURNING N AND INCREASING EARLY NEXT WEEK.
HOWEVER...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHTER THAN THE CURRENT WIND
EVENT. /SEC
