AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
447 AM PST FRI JAN 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. AN OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
PRODUCE PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA IS POSITIONED BETWEEN A HIGH
AMPLITUDE RIDGE TO THE WEST AND DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE
INTERIOR MOUNTAIN WEST. WITHIN THIS TROUGH AN UPPER LOW WITH
CANADIAN ORIGINS HAS SETTLED DIRECTLY OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS
HAS ALLOWED VERY COLD AIR TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. IN THE COASTAL
AREAS WHERE HARD FREEZE WARNINGS FOR TEMPERATURES 29 DEGREES AND
LOWER ARE STILL ISSUED FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...TEMPERATURES HAVE
ALREADY FALLEN TO AROUND 30F ON THE HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COASTS
AND THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 20S IN THE ANDERSON VALLEY. TEMPERATURES
WILL LIKELY FALL A DEGREE OR TWO MORE BY MORNING. CONSIDERING THE
UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TODAY INTO
TONIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AND
A HARD FREEZE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE INTERIOR
LOWS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE 20S AND TEENS AND WILL LIKELY BECOME JUST
AS COLD OR EVEN A FEW DEGREES COLDER TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

THE COLD UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT NORTH AND EAST DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY AS A STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES THE CALIFORNIA
COAST. THIS APPROACHING LOW WILL DEEPEN AND STALL APPROXIMATELY 400-
500 MILES WEST OF CAPE MENDOCINO AND LIKELY BECOME QUITE
IMPRESSIVE ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. CURRENT GUIDANCE INDICATES THE
LOW MAY REACH 990-985 MB AND FLING A COLD FRONT TOWARD THE
CALIFORNIA COAST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS IN
ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT MAY BECOME GUSTY ALONG THE COAST WITH
925 MB WINDS AROUND 45-50 KT...REMAINING JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA WITH THE CORE OF THE WINDS REMAINING OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS. LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST...LIKELY OVERRUNNING COLDER AIR IN
PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR... ESPECIALLY TRINITY COUNTY. NAM
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW PRECIPITATION WILL LIKE REMAIN AS SNOW IN
WEAVERVILLE SUNDAY MORNING...HOWEVER TOTAL PRECIPITATION
PENETRATING FAR INLAND ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY
IS LIMITED IN THE CURRENT GUIDANCE. STILL...SNOW WILL LIKELY BE A
CONCERN AND ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES/WARNINGS IS
IN THE CARDS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INLAND AND DISSIPATE BY MONDAY AS THE
SURFACE LOW OFF THE COAST BEGINS TO FILL AND DRIFTS NORTH. THERE IS
SOME INDICATION THAT THIS LOW MAY BRING GUSTY WINDS TO COASTAL AREAS
NORTH OF CAPE MENDOCINO DURING THE DAY MONDAY AS IT MOVES NORTH
ALONG WITH SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY.

ADDITIONAL STORM SYSTEMS QUICKLY MOVE TOWARD THE COAST BEGINNING
MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NEXT WEEK. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES REMAIN COLD IN THE -2C TO 2C RANGE INDICATING THAT LOW
SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN A CONCERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
ADDITIONALLY...MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A STRONGER SYSTEM MONDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY WHICH COULD BRING STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO
COASTAL AREAS. THE EVOLUTION AND TRENDS OF THIS SYSTEM WILL NEED TO
BE EXAMINED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER NOW TARGETS COASTAL MENDOCINO COUNTY
WITH OVER 5 INCHES OF RAIN THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. CONSIDERING RIVERS
AND STREAMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECEDE SINCE THE LAST HEAVY RAIN
EVENT...THIS SERIES OF STORMS IS CURRENTLY NOT ANTICIPATED TO RESULT
IN FLOODING OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. RPA

&&

.AVIATION...OFFSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING IS BRINGING CLEAR SKIES AND
FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS TO THE COAST. ALOFT THE WINDS ARE A BIT
STRONGER...WINDS OVER THE RIDGES ARE 15 TO 25 KT AND GUSTS TO 40KT.
SOME OF THE PROTECTED INLAND VALLEYS ARE SEEING LOCALLY DENSE FOG.
THESE MAINLY LOOK TO BE IN SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO
COUNTIES. SKIES WILL CLEAR SLIGHTLY QUICKER THIS MORNING AS IT
LOOKS LIKE THE FOG LAYER IS BIT SHALLOWER...BUT IT STILL MAY TAKE TO
TILL MID TO LATE MORNING FOR THESE VALLEYS TO CLEAR. TONIGHT EXPECT
FOG/LOW CLOUDS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING ACROSS THE INLAND
AREAS WITH THE COAST REMAINING CLEAR. GUSTY WINDS OVER THE RIDGES
ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT THE COASTAL AREAS AND THE VALLEYS
WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 10 KT. MKK

&&

.MARINE...THE WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN FAIRLY LOW THIS MORNING ACROSS
THE AREA. SEAS WILL INCREASE SLIGHT THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...BUT
GENERALLY REMAIN FAIRLY LOW. THESE WILL PERSIST INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. SATURDAY AFTERNOON A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STARTS TO APPROACH
THE AREA INCREASING THE SOUTHERLY WINDS. CURRENT MODEL RUNS ARE
SHOWING STRONGER WINDS THAN THEY WERE SHOWING EARLIER. AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE
FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS. IF THE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT TODAY A GALE
WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR SATURDAY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
OVERNIGHT. CURRENT MODEL RUNS SHOW A SURFACE LOW FORMING ALONG THE
FRONT AND DEEPENING AS IT MOVES TO THE NORTH AND EAST. FOR NOW THIS
LOOKS TO KEEP THE LOW OFF THE COAST AND THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE
OVER THE OUTER WATERS.

ANOTHER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING STRONG WINDS ON TUESDAY THAT MAY
REACH GALE FORCE AS WELL. AGAIN THIS LOW LOOKS TO TRACK FAIRLY FAR
OFF THE COAST. THE 06Z RUN OF THE NAM SHOWS THIS LOW SIGNIFICANTLY
STRONGER...BUT IT IS AT THE END OF THE MODEL RUN SO CONFIDENCE IS
LOW ON THIS. LATE IN THE WEEK THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS
MOVING THROUGH...HOWEVER MODELS ARE NOT IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE
STRENGTH AND THE TIMING.

SUNDAY ANOTHER LONG PERIOD SWELL BUILDS INTO THE WATERS. THIS LOOKS
TO BUILD TO AROUND 10 FEET AT 15 SECONDS. IN ADDITION TO THIS A 10
SECOND SOUTHERLY WAVE LOOKS TO BUILD INTO THE WATERS IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE COAST. THE NWPS MODEL
HAS SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE WAVE OUTPUT...IT PEAKS AROUND 17 FT AT 9
SECONDS. THIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS FORECAST
SO WENT WITH ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THE MODEL OUTPUT. THIS WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MODEL RUNS TO SEE IF IT PERSISTS
AND IT MAY NEED TO BE INCREASED AGAIN.

TUESDAY ANOTHER LONG PERIOD WAVE LOOKS TO BUILD INTO THE WATERS.
THIS LOOK TO BUILD IN RAPIDLY TO BE AROUND 10 FEET AT 21 SECONDS BY
LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY MORNING THE HEIGHTS PEAK AROUND 15
FEET AT 17 SECONDS. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS IT GETS
CLOSER. THE POTENTIAL FOR SNEAKER WAVES LOOKS FAIRLY LOW AS THERE
WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF LOCAL GENERATED SHORT PERIOD WAVES THAT WILL
MASK THE BIGGER SETS. MKK
