Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Eureka CA
343 AM PDT SAT MAY 14 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

Our rain chances will increase today, with even a few
thunderstorms possible. Drying conditions will return Sunday, with
a slight warming trend in store for the region during the first
half of the work week. By the end of the week another period of
unsettled weather is likely

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)

Rain chances continue to look decent for today, as a mid-level low
passes by to our north, with the trough axis crossing northern
California this afternoon. Early this morning, the first batch in
what will like be a few waves of rain, is moving ashore as of 3 AM.
All of the latest numerical guidance continues to show showers
increasing in coverage today, especially this afternoon when
instability will build due to the diurnal cycle and the upper-level
trough moving overhead. Although a flash or two of lightning is
possible anywhere today, the best chance for thunderstorm develop
will be this afternoon in the 1 PM to 6 PM time frame, especially
for locations east of highway 101 and north of highway 36. here,
soundings/numerical guidance continues to show neutral to negative
lifted indicies (generally in the 0 to -2 range), with MUCAPES of
~500 to 1500 J/kg (highest across northern Trinity County). Small
hail can't be completely ruled out as a possibility given freezing
levels in the 4000 to 8000 feet range. However, we feel this threat
is fairly low.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Friday)

A short-wave ridge will build across the area for the first half of
the work week, leading to warmer and drier conditions. Mid-level
heights are forecast to rise from near 562 decameters this weekend
to around 578 decameters by Tuesday afternoon. This will allow
afternoon high temperatures to increase several degrees compared to
this weekend for most locations. Unsettled weather will return to
the region by the end of the week, as another mid-level low and
associated trough drops south across the state. /PD

&&

.AVIATION...
Coastal terminals can expect periodic showers and
MVFR ceilings through early this afternoon as a low pressure system
moves onshore. While an isolated strike of lightning is not out of
the question late this morning and early this afternoon, given the
current trends confidence is low that this will occur near the
coast. Thus, the previous inclusion of thunderstorms has been
removed from the 12Z TAF. Isolated thunderstorms will be more likely
to occur this afternoon across interior locations. At UKI, a few
light showers will be possible mid morning through the afternoon,
with minimal impacts aside from perhaps some periodic mvfr ceilings.
A few strikes of lightning will be possible to the northeast across
the Yolla Bolly mountains.

&&

.MARINE...
Low, mixed seas continue throughout the waters this
morning as a modest low pressure system approaches the coast. Area
buoys continue to report seas of around 3 to 4 feet with a dominant
period of around 11 seconds, although spectral plots indicate that a
mix of wave periods from 18 to 8 seconds are present. In any case,
with heights this low, mariners should not expect significant issues
due to waves today and early tomorrow. Southerly winds are expected
to increase into the 10 to 15 kt range today as the low and weak
cold front pass through the waters, which will add some additional
modest short period waves into the mix.

Winds will veer to the north tomorrow and gradually increase as the
low moves inland. While winds will likely be moderately breezy by
tomorrow evening, A much more substantial increase in northerly
winds is expected Monday and Tuesday as high pressure builds back
into the waters. With expected speeds approaching 30 kt for an
extended period of time, particularly south of Cape Mendocino,
mariners can expect steep seas building to around 12 to 14
feet and lasting through at least the middle of the week. /BRC

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...NONE.
