AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
437 AM PST TUE DEC 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A WARM FRONT WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN TO AREAS PRIMARILY
NORTH OF MENDOCINO COUNTY TODAY. A MORE POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL
BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION MID TO LATE WEEK
ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WARM FRONTAL TYPE PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO LIGHTLY
FALL ACROSS THE REGION AS WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW RESULTS IN
OROGRAPHIC LIFT IN HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES. RAIN TOTAL OVER
THE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE BEEN QUITE IMPRESSIVE IN DEL NORTE COUNTY
WITH AROUND 2 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND AN INCH ALONG THE COAST.
THIS HAS RESULTED IN A STEADY RISE ON THE SMITH RIVER ABOVE THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST...THOUGH WELL BELOW MONITOR STAGE. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OF THIS RISE IS THAT THE RIVER WILL NOW BE AT A
HIGHER STAGE WHEN HEAVIER RAIN ARRIVES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

SPEAKING OF THE NEXT WET SYSTEMS...A STORM SYSTEM NOW MOVING INTO
THE WASHINGTON COAST WILL SLIDE A COLD FRONT INTO NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A QUICK BAND OF HEAVY
RAINFALL TO THE REGION AND SOME GUSTY SOUTH WINDS. 925 MB WINDS IN
ALL MODEL GUIDANCE ARE NOT PARTICULARLY STRONG SO A WIND ADVISORY
WILL LIKELY NOT BE NEEDED. STILL SOME GUSTS APPROACHING 50 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES.
RAINFALL FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL RANGE FROM 0.50 TO 2 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE FRONT WILL THEN STALL NEAR THE
MENDOCINO/SONOMA BORDER AND RETREAT BACK NORTH WEDNESDAY EVENING AS
A WARM FRONT IN ADVANCE OF A MUCH MORE POTENT STORM SYSTEM.

RAIN WILL REINTENSIFY OVERNIGHT...PARTICULARLY NORTH OF MENDOCINO
COUNTY...AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
INCREASE AND WIND ADVISORIES ARE LOOKING MORE LIKELY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH 925 MB WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 KT FROM CAPE MENDOCINO NORTH.
COPIOUS MOISTURE LINGERING FROM THE PROLONGED PERIOD OF ONSHORE FLOW
THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND A STRONG...BUT SHORT LIVED...ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER WILL RESULT IN A 6-12 HOUR PERIOD OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE
GFS PREDICTS OVERNIGHT RAINFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS OF HUMBOLDT...DEL
NORTE AND TRINITY COUNTIES TO POTENTIALLY REACH 3-4 INCHES...WHICH
IF ACCURATE COULD STILL BE UNDERDONE IN OROGRAPHICALLY FAVORED
LOCATIONS. HOWEVER THE ECMWF AND NAM MODELS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER
WITH ONLY 1-2 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION. THESE DISCREPANCIES RESULT
IN LOWER CONFIDENCE IN TOTAL RAINFALL DURING THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
PERIOD. CONSIDERING THE WARM FRONT OVERPRODUCED YESTERDAY...AND
NEARLY THE SAME AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE
FORECAST IS LEANING TOWARD THE HEAVIER RAINFALL SOLUTION. SMALL
STREAM AREAL FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN AND THE SMITH RIVER
WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY WITH MONITOR STAGE A POSSIBILITY.
RAIN TOTALS WILL BE LESS IN MENDOCINO COUNTY...BUT STILL DECENT
ENOUGH TO RESULT IN SOME SMALL RISES ON AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS.

HEAVY RAIN WILL COME TO AN END EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT
MOVES INLAND. A COLD AIR MASS WILL THEN SETTLE OVER THE REGION WITH
CONTINUED WESTERLY FLOW RESULTING IN SHOWER ACTIVITY. 500 MB
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO FALL TO NEAR -30C...ALLOWING FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL HAIL IN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES THIS COLD ARE OFTEN
ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BIGGER SMALL HAIL EVENTS WHERE HAIL CAN
ACCUMULATE ON ROADWAYS RESULTING IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.
THE COLD AIR WILL ALSO DRIVE DOWN SNOW LEVELS TO NEAR 3000 FEET OR
POSSIBLY LOWER. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR SNOW AT HIGHWAY PASSES
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

MODEL GUIDANCE DIVERGES SIGNIFICANTLY BEGINNING NEXT WEEKEND WITH
THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF FURTHER STORM SYSTEMS. AS HAS BEEN THE
CONSISTENT THEME RECENTLY...THE GFS REMAINS THE MORE AGGRESSIVE
MODEL WITH STRONGER COLD FRONTS AND MORE PRECIPITATION THIS COMING
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK THAN THE ECMWF. IN GENERAL THOUGH THE
WET PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...MOIST AIR CONDITIONS AND PERIODIC LIGHT SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE OCCASIONAL IFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS TODAY AT THE
TERMINALS. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE SLIGHTLY THIS AFTERNOON. A
FRONT WILL BRING LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AND ROBUST SOUTHERLY WINDS
TO KCEC LATE TONIGHT...THEN SOUTHWARD TO KACV AND KUKI WED MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...SEAS HAVE BEEN STEADILY FALLING THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE
BUOYS REPORTING 13 TO 15 FT AT 13 SECONDS AS OF 3AM PST. TREND TODAY
WILL BE FOR SEAS TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH...HOWEVER HEIGHTS WILL MOST
LIKELY REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 10 FT AND THE ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT. A FRONT WILL BRING
GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS AND STEEP SOUTHERLY SEAS...MAINLY NORTH
OF CAPE MENDO LATE TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING. A POTENT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL START TO SPIN UP OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC ON WED. THE
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HURRICANE FORCE LOW WILL BRING GALE
CONDITIONS TO NW CA WATERS WED NIGHT. SEAS SHOULD RAPIDLY SPIKE TO
20+ FT LATE WED NIGHT. THE MAIN IMPACT OF THIS INTENSE STORM WILL BE
THE EXTREMELY LARGE SWELL EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN NW CA WATERS THU
THROUGH FRI. WE HAVE NOT SEEN SWELL OF THIS MAGNITUDE FOR QUITE SOME
TIME AND A HIGH SURF WARNING WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THE 30+ FOOT
BREAKERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...TWO COLD FRONTS WILL BRING HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE
REGION BEGINNING TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. A SHORT GAP IN
THE RAINFALL IS LIKELY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE RAINFALL WILL
BRING THE POTENTIAL OF SMALL STREAM FLOODING AND RAPID RISES ON
MAIN STEM RIVERS...MOST LIKELY NORTH OF MENDOCINO COUNTY. NO
RIVERS ARE FORECAST TO REACH MONITOR STAGE AT THIS TIME...BUT THE
SMITH RIVER WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY.

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3 AM PST WEDNESDAY FOR PZZ450-475.

     GALE WARNING FROM 3 AM TO 9 AM PST WEDNESDAY FOR PZZ450.
