AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
450 AM PST WED DEC 23 2015

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS WILL PERSIST TODAY. A COLD SYSTEM TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW TO THE INTERIOR AREAS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ONSHORE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO BRING
SHOWERS TO THE AREA THIS MORNING. A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
FLOW THIS MORNING HAS INCREASED SHOWER COVERAGE AND LOWERED SNOW
LEVELS. CURRENTLY SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO BE AROUND 3000 FEET. RAIN
AND SNOW AMOUNTS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT WITH THESE SHOWERS. ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE WILL ENHANCE THE SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON OVER NORTHERN
HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES.

FARTHER TO THE NORTHWEST A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE IS HEADED TOWARDS
THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING ADDITIONAL RAIN AND SNOW TO THE AREA.
WATER VAPOR SHOWS THIS FEATURE FAIRLY WELL. THIS WILL BRING
SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR AND FAIRLY HEAVY PRECIP TO THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A BAND OF STEADY RAIN
LATE TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY FAIRLY HEAVY SHOWERS ON THURSDAY. SNOW
LEVELS WILL BE AROUND 2500 WITH MOST OF THE PRECIP IN HUMBOLDT AND
DEL NORTE COUNTIES WHILE TRINITY COUNTY WILL SEE SLIGHTLY LOWER
SNOW LEVELS DUE TO THE COLDER INTERIOR AIR. FARTHER SOUTH IN
MENDOCINO COUNTY SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO BE CLOSER TO 3000 FEET. FOR
DETAILS ON THE AMOUNTS SEE THE WARNING TEXT. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
WITH THIS FORECAST IS THE SNOW AMOUNTS. MUCH OF THIS WILL BE
CONVECTIVE IN NATURE AND RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS MAY VARY QUITE A
BIT. CLOSER TO THE COAST THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AND SMALL HAIL IS LIKELY. 500 MB TEMPS ARE AROUND
-34C AND CAPE ON THE NAM IS AS HIGH AS 400 J/KG NEAR THE COAST
INDICATING GOOD ENVIRONMENT FOR SMALL HAIL. THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING THERE LOOKS TO BE SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ABOVE
2000 FEET. THIS COULD BE ADVISORY LEVEL AMOUNTS(2 TO 4 INCHES)...BUT
WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING ANYTHING.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY SKIES WILL START TO CLEAR AND THIS WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE TEENS IN THE INLAND AREAS AND
TO AROUND 30 AT THE COAST. THE MAIN CHALLENGE WILL BE TO WHETHER
ANY CLOUDS WILL FORM IN THE INTERIOR VALLEYS OVERNIGHT. FOR NOW
HAVE SOME CLOUDS IN THE FORECAST...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THIS.
IF INTERIOR VALLEYS REMAIN CLEAR TEMPERATURE MAY BE EVEN LOWER
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

MODELS ARE STILL DISAGREEING IN THE TIMING OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. THE
GFS BRINGS SOME RAIN AND SNOW THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING WHILE THE
ECMWF IS SLOWER BRINGS IT IN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD BRING
SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW TO TRINITY COUNTY AND SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE
RAIN ELSEWHERE...BUT CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW ON THE DETAILS OF THIS
SYSTEM. TUESDAY THE MODELS INDICATING A SYSTEM OF SOME SORT...BUT
THEY REMAIN OUT OF PHASE SO THE DETAILS REMAIN FUZZY. OVERALL
DIDNT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST...WILL WAIT UNTIL THE
PICTURE BECOMES CLEARER TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND TRY TO
NAIL DOWN THE TIMING. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...VFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS
WILL CONTINUE AT KCEC AND KACV THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH PARTLY
CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OCCURRING. THE LOWER CONDITIONS AND
INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE WILL BE DUE TO A FEW SHOWERS MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA AT TIMES. VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL
CONTINUE AT KUKI THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING. THE WINDS WILL BECOME
MODERATE AND GUSTY AT KUKI THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND THE SEAS HAVE DIMINISHED SLIGHTLY AS A HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM PROPAGATES EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
THEREFORE THE WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE PRIMARILY ACROSS THE
OUTER WATERS ON THURSDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.
ELEVATED SEAS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH ON SATURDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
BRIEFLY BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE AREA SUNDAY AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION EARLY MONDAY. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE WATERS
THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO ELEVATED SEAS. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT ACROSS THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS. HOWEVER THE WINDS WILL INCREASE
AGAIN THURSDAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS WITH THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. A HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT
ACROSS THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO
PERSISTENT ELEVATED SEAS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A
HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTER
WATERS THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO INCREASING
ELEVATED SEAS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY AS A HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 311 PM PST...

SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A COLD SYSTEM
WILL BRING RAIN TO COASTAL AREAS AND SNOW TO THE INTERIOR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

SHORT TERM (THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...ONSHORE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SHOWERS TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS WEAK SHORTWAVES IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW MOVE INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. EACH SYSTEM WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR TO
THE REGION GRADUALLY REDUCING SNOW LEVELS TO 3000-3500 FEET
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THUS LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE
IN THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN DEL
NORTE AND NORTHERN HUMBOLDT COUNTIES WHERE THE BEST MOISTURE WILL
BE PRESENT. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL REMAIN LESS THAN AN INCH
IN MOST AREAS...BUT MAY REACH A FEW INCHES IN DEL NORTE AND
HUMBOLDT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE NEXT MORE POTENT SYSTEM WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY EVENING BRINGING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND
EVEN LOWER SNOW LEVELS. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES SNOW LEVELS FALLING
TO NEAR 2000 FEET BY THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE INTERIOR. SNOW
LEVELS THIS LOW WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT WILL SUPPORT HIGHER
SNOW RATIOS...ESPECIALLY AT ELEVATIONS OVER 4000 FEET. THUS THE
WIDESPREAD 0.5 TO 1.5 INCHES OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WILL
ALSO BRING HIGH SNOW TOTALS ACROSS THE INTERIOR. CURRENT INDICATIONS
ARE THAT ELEVATIONS AS LOW AS THE VALLEY FLOORS OF TRINITY COUNTY
MAY SEE AT LEAST SOME SNOW WITH ELEVATIONS OVER 3000 FEET SEEING THE
MOST SNOW ACCUMULATION. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 6 INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE TO ELEVATIONS AS LOW AS 2000 FEET...5 TO 10 INCHES OVER
3000 FEET AND OVER A FOOT OF ACCUMULATION OVER 4000 FEET. LESSER
AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED IN MENDOCINO COUNTY WHERE SNOW LEVELS WILL TAKE
LONGER TO LOWER THROUGH THURSDAY.

AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND COLD AIR ALOFT WILL SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL HAIL IN SHOWERS NEAR THE COAST AND POSSIBLY A
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY EVENING. SHOWERS WILL
COME TO AN END DURING THE DAY FRIDAY AS DRY NORTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS
WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO THE INTER-MOUNTAIN WEST. AS
COLD AIR MOVES OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT...LOW TEMPERATURES WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. CURRENT MOS
GUIDANCE PREDICTS TEMPERATURES MAY FALL INTO THE TEENS IN INTERIOR
VALLEYS BY FRIDAY OR SATURDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IF FRESH SNOW
COVER IS PRESENT AND CLOUDS CLEAR SUFFICIENTLY. THUS THERE IS A
VERY GOOD CHANCE FOR SNOW TO STILL BE ON THE GROUND CHRISTMAS
MORNING IN THE INTERIOR. TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO BOTTOM OUT IN THE
UPPER 20S SATURDAY MORNING NEAR THE COAST. UPPER RIDGING WILL
SLIDE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY BRINGING MOSTLY DRY
WEATHER TO THE REGION WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WARMING BY ONLY A
FEW DEGREES. SNOW LEVELS WILL SLOWLY RESPOND TO THE PATTERN SHIFT
AND SHOULD LIFT TO 5000-6000 FT BY SATURDAY EVENING.

LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...ON SUNDAY MODELS SHOW A WEAK
SHORTWAVE BRUSH ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BRINGING A POSSIBILITY
FOR RAIN AND PASS LEVEL SNOW. THIS IS WHERE THE GFS AND ECMWF
BEGIN TO DIVERGE IN TIMING AND AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION SUNDAY
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF FALLS BEHIND THE GFS BUT IS
DEEPER AND BRINGS MORE SHOWERY PRECIPITATION TO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DAY 6 AND
7 HERE, THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR THE LONG RANGE MODELS TO CHANGE SO
KEPT POPS AT CLIMO FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST AND BLENDED WITH THE
NEIGHBORS. BY LATE NEXT WEEK WE COULD SEE DRY WEATHER DEVELOP AS
BOTH MODELS HINT AT UPPER RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED
STATES. KML

AVIATION...VARIABLE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED ACROSS NW
CALIFORNIA TODAY AS MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW HAS BROUGHT SHOWERS TO THE
AREA. HEADING INTO THE OVERNIGHT...PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE
WILL CONTINUE...PRODUCING GENERALLY VFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS...WITH
POTENTIALLY SOME IFR CIGS AND VSBYS. THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL
CONTINUE NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO...ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS ARE
STILL POSSIBLE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. STP

MARINE...A LARGE NORTHWESTERLY SWELL WILL MAINTAIN AN ELEVATED SEA
STATE THROUGH THE WORK WEEK BEFORE SUBSIDING OVER THE WEEKEND TO
WAVE HEIGHTS BELOW 10 FT. NORTHERLY WINDS, ON THE OTHER HAND, WILL
REMAIN FRESH TO STRONG THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK WITH THE SURFACE
RIDGE OFFSHORE HELPING TO KEEP A TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT. WINDS
WILL BRIEFLY TURN SOUTHERLY THIS WEEKEND AS WEAK SHORTWAVE SLIDES
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THESE SOUTH WINDS WILL BRIEFLY RAMP UP
AHEAD OF THE WEAK FRONT AND, DEPENDING ON WHAT MODEL YOU LOOK AT,
COULD SEE SOME NEAR GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS. CONFIDENCE ISN'T VERY
HIGH IN THE MAGNITUDE OF THESE WINDS AS MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE LATE
IN THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE BEST WINDOW FOR
FAVORABLE WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE LATER FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY
THEN WAVE MODELS SHOW ANOTHER LARGE NW SWELL BORN FROM AN ALEUTIAN
STORM THAT WILL CAUSE THE SEA SATE TO BUILD AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE TO THE HAZARDS FOR THE NEAR TERM IS THE
ISSUANCE OF A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE OUTER WATERS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING. THE ASCAT PASS EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON SHOWED THAT WINDS IN THE NORTHERN OUTER WATERS MAY BE
A LITTLE LIGHTER THAN FORECAST BUT ARE PREDICTED TO INCREASE FURTHER
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. KML

HYDROLOGY...RIVERS ARE GRADUALLY RECEDING. THE RUSSIAN AT HOPLAND
SHOULD DECREASE BELOW ADVISORY STAGE SOON. THE EEL RIVER AT
FERNBRIDGE IS FORECAST TO DROP BELOW MONITOR STAGE AROUND 6 AM WED
MORNING. /SEC
