AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
452 AM PST FRI DEC 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WILL
PERSIST TODAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST
WITH THE STRONGER SHOWERS AND STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL
HAIL. ANOTHER POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING MORE HEAVY RAIN TO
THE REGION THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE
TO MOVE THROUGH NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING. SHOWER COVERAGE
WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE AND TROUGH MOVE TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST.
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SOME HIGHER CLOUD TOPS WITH THE
APPROACHING TROUGH WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE THREAT OF SMALL HAIL ONCE AGAIN TODAY.
SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE LATER THIS EVENING AS THE LOW MOVES
INLAND AND A WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.

SNOW LEVELS ARE CURRENTLY AROUND 3000-3500 FEET ON THE MCKINLEYVILLE
AIRPORT PROFILER AND CONFIRMED BY OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE
REGION...HOWEVER SOME LOCALLY LOWER SNOW LEVELS ARE LIKELY OCCURRING
IN TRINITY COUNTY WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE LOWER 30S ON SOME OF
THE VALLEY FLOORS. AT THIS TIME THE ONLY CONFIRMATION OF SNOW IS
ALONG HIGHWAY 36 WHERE CHAIN REQUIREMENTS ARE IN EFFECT FOR SOUTH
FORK MOUNTAIN AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE HIGHWAY. STILL...AS THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING WITH COLD
TEMPERATURES STILL IN PLACE...SNOW SHOULD ACCUMULATE AT ELEVATIONS
AT LEAST DOWN TO AROUND 3500 FEET...AND THUS ALL THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES FOR THE INTERIOR HAVE BEEN KEPT IN PLACE THROUGH THE DAY.

SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT BETWEEN SYSTEMS. BY SATURDAY
WARM FRONTAL PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO REDEVELOP AND
EXPAND...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF MENDOCINO COUNTY...AS SNOW LEVELS RISE.
UPSLOPE FLOW COMBINED WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT WITHIN A VERY MOIST
AIR MASS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY RAINFALL IN
DEL NORTE AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. AS
SAID IN THE PREVIOUS AFD LAST NIGHT...SLIGHT CHANGES IN THE
POSITIONING OF THE WARM FRONT AND THEN THE NEXT ADVANCING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE OVERALL
RAINFALL FORECAST. THIS HAS DEFINITELY COME INTO PLAY THIS MORNING
AS THE 06Z GFS AND 06Z NAM NOW MOVE THE WARM FRONT FARTHER NORTH
THAN BEFORE...INTO SOUTHERN OREGON TARGETING THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION JUST NORTH OF THE SMITH RIVER DRAINAGE. STILL...RAIN
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY CONSTANT SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT IN DEL
NORTE COUNTY WITH A STRONG ATMOSPHERIC RIVER IMPACTING THE REGION.
EARLY SATURDAY EVENING A COLD FRONT WILL TRY TO SAG
SOUTH...POTENTIALLY SAGGING THE HEAVIER RAIN BACK INTO DEL NORTE
COUNTY. HOWEVER THIS FRONT WILL STALL SOMEWHERE AROUND THE OREGON
BORDER FOR SEVERAL HOURS AS A SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS
AND MOVES NORTHEAST OFF THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COAST INTO SOUTHERN
OREGON OR THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING.

STRONG SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THIS LOW WILL LIKELY BRING ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS TO THE REGION AND POTENTIALLY HIGH WIND WARNING
CONDITIONS IF THE 06Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND NAM ARE CORRECT SATURDAY
NIGHT. IN ADDITION...AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND AND A STRONG FRONT
FINALLY DIVES SOUTH ENDING THE HEAVY RAIN THROUGH THE DAY
SUNDAY...VERY GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL LIKELY IMPACT NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA. TOTAL RAINFALL OVER THE WEEKEND IS STILL NOT CERTAIN
CONSIDERING THE MODEL ADJUSTMENTS THIS MORNING...BUT THE CURRENT
FORECAST CALLS FOR 1 TO 2 INCHES IN MENDOCINO AND TRINITY
COUNTIES...2 TO 4 INCHES IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY...AND 3 TO 6 INCHES
WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN DEL NORTE COUNTY. THIS HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL RESULT IN STEEP RISES ON AREA RIVERS...POTENTIALLY
INTO MONITOR FOR A FEW RIVER FORECAST POINTS...AND MAYBE EVEN
MINOR FLOOD ON THE SMITH RIVER. ALSO THE THREAT OF SMALL STREAM
AND URBAN FLOODING WILL EXIST. AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO BE
ISSUED FOR HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY PERIOD LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT.

ANOTHER COLD AIR MASS WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT ALLOWING FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SMALL HAIL SHOWERS AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. DEEP LAYER NORTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP ON
MONDAY AND POTENTIALLY LAST INTO MID NEXT WEEK BRINGING COLD
TEMPERATURES AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A
COUPLE WEEKS. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...CONDITIONS WILL VARY THIS MORNING WITH LINGERING SHOWER
ACTIVITY BRINGING PERIODIC CEILING AND VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS TO AREA
AIRFIELDS ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. ANOTHER SHOT OF SHOWERS WILL
IMPACT NWCA AS A WEAK BOUNDARY PASSES OVERHEAD LATER THIS MORNING.
ADDITIONALLY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR COASTAL AIRFIELDS.
ALTHOUGH LOW CLOUDS WILL HANG AROUND THE REGION TODAY IMPROVEMENT
WILL UNFOLD AS SHOWERS DIMINISH LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING. EXPECT VFR TO IFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH HEAVIER
SHOWERS BRINGING REDUCTIONS. KML

&&

.MARINE...EARLY MORNING BUOY OBSERVATIONS SHOWED LOCAL SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHTS AROUND 21 TO 24 FT AT 17 SECONDS. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH THROUGH SATURDAY, HOWEVER, ANOTHER FRONT WILL APPROACH FOR
THE WEEKEND BRINGING ANOTHER INCREASE IN WINDS AND STEEP SEAS. EARLY
TO MID NEXT WEEK THERE LOOKS TO BE A LULL IN CONDITIONS AS MODELS ARE
INDICATING A RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE REGION BUT ANOTHER FRONT IS
SLATED FOR MID TO LATE WEEK. OVERALL, CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ROUGH
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. NEAR THE COAST A HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN
PLACE. A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS MORNING AS
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES APPROACH 7.5 FT AT HIGH TIDE WHICH IS PREDICTED
TO MAX OUT JUST BEFORE NOON. FLOODING OF COASTAL ROADWAYS AND PARKING
LOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE AND AFTER HIGH TIDE
TODAY AS A STORM SURGE IN ADDITION TO LARGE SURF HELPS TO INUNDATE
LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS THAT TYPICALLY DON'T SEE SALT WATER DURING
HIGH TIDES. KML/BFG

&&

.HYDROLOGY...MAIN STEM RIVERS ARE FORECAST TO RESPOND SHARPLY TO
HEAVY RAINFALL THIS WEEKEND. CURRENT FORECASTS BRING THE TWO SMITH
RIVER FORECAST POINTS AND THE VAN DUZEN AT BRIDGEVILLE INTO
MONITOR STAGE SUNDAY. THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ACROSS THE REGION...SO STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE RIVER
FORECAST UPDATES AS MODEL GUIDANCE COMES INTO BETTER AGREEMENT.
