AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
245 PM PDT SAT AUG 6 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are
expected once again across portions of Trinity and northeast
Mendocino counties this afternoon and evening. Otherwise, expect
warm and dry conditions across the interior and cool conditions
along the coast for the next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Sunday)

The forecast remains on track, with afternoon cumulus starting to
develop from Central Siskiyou County, southward to the Yolla Bolly
Mountains. A shortwave trough was centered about 50 miles off of the
southern Mendocino coast at 2 PM, and this with a small vort max
noted in the base of the rough. The numerical models show this wave
will trek eastward for a few more hours, before turning northeast by
late afternoon, as it rotates around the parent mid-level low/trough
over southern vancouver Island. This would aloft the core of the
coldest air with the southern vort to pass over northern Mendocino
and eastern Trinity Counties, which will help steepen mid-level
lapse rates/surface instability some.

In fact, comparing yesterday to today, there are some more positive
factors for convective development and some that are more negative.
On the plus side, this wave is tracking farther south than
yesterday, when most of the more widespread/stronger convection was
observed to the north and northeast of the mid-level wave. Also, the
850-300mb mean wind is stronger (~15 knots avg. compared to 5
yesterday) and from a southwest direction. This would allow any
storms that develop south of Hayfork/west of the Yolla Bolly's to
ride the southeastern part of Trinity County longer. Additionally,
NAM model forecast soundings have similar SBCAPES of 600-1700 J/kg,
with the GFS much lower, showing 200-600 J/KG. The SPC mesoanalysis
yesterday indicated yesterday the GFS was closer to the truth, but
perhaps a little low, and we expect the same today. This leads to
good confidence that we'll see things play out similar to yesterday,
with perhaps slightly greater coverage near the Trinity Alps and
perhaps one or two more storms farther south towards the Yolla
Bolly's.

After sunset, any convection will quickly fall by the wayside, with
just the usual marine stratus development as in penetrates inland
along the Redwood Coast and down the coastal river valleys, with the
Eel River seeing the greatest inland intrusion.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night night through Saturday)

The Pacific Northwest mid-level low will continue to meander across
the state of Washington through the middle of the week, before
finally ejecting northeast. A trough will extend from this low
through this period, while gradually deepening. As a result, mid-
level heights will continue to slowly fall, with afternoon interior
temperatures dropping back to near, or perhaps slightly below
seasonal values.

Several small-scale disturbances are expected to traverse the area,
as they pivot through the base of the trough. While it's not totally
out of the question sufficient moisture may be present for a random
shower/storm to develop near the Trinity Alps, confidence in such a
scenario weren't high enough to include mentionable POPs in the
forecast at this time. /PD

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions will prevail through the early evening
hours for Northwest California with the marine layer and stratus
returning between 2Z and 6Z with MVFR and perhaps even some IFR
conditions being possible. Eventually, the coastal terminals will
fall into IFR conditions with a small chance of LIRF conditions
being possible at KACV. KUKI, however, will see VFR conditions
through the forecast period. Tomorrow, lifting cloud decks followed
by clearing skies are expected for terminals that are effected by
the stratus, much like what we saw for today. /KAR

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas have diminished slightly this afternoon.
The morning ASCAT pass showed 10 to 15 kt north of Cape Mendocino
and 20 to 25 south of the Cape. Winds will diminish slightly
tonight as the trough pushes inland. This should drop seas to just
below small craft advisory levels Sunday morning. There still may
be a few gusts around Cape Mendocino to 25 KT. Sunday afternoon
winds will start to increase once again. Small craft advisories
will likely be needed once again.

Monday winds will continue to increase again to around 20 to 25 kt
in most areas. Tuesday near gale to gale conditions are expected.
Winds are expected to peak Tuesday afternoon and then start to
diminish Tuesday night and Wednesday. Near gale conditions may
persist on Wednesday. Late in the week conditions are expected to
continue to diminish as another trough moves through the area. /MKK
