AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
308 PM PST Sun Dec 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front moving across the region will
maintain a chance for showers moving across the region through
this evening. Another weak front will move across the region
Monday afternoon and evening producing a chance for showers.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A weak cold front moving across the region will
maintain a chance for rain showers moving across the area through
this evening. Another weak front will move across the region
Monday afternoon and evening producing a chance for rain showers.
light rain mixed with snow will move across higher elevations
Monday evening associated with the front.

Early Monday morning temperatures will be similar to Sunday
morning low temperatures. A frost advisory will not be necessary
tonight.

Drier conditions will prevail across the region Tuesday and
Wednesday as a high pressure ridge briefly builds across the
region. Colder air will advect across the region Tuesday in the
wake of the cold front. Colder morning low temperatures will
occur across the region Tuesday and Wednesday mornings with the
Wednesday morning lows being the coldest. Freeze warnings or frost
advisories may be necessary across some coastal areas Wednesday
morning due to the colder temperatures.

A stronger, warmer and more moist cold front will move across the
region producing light to moderate rain Wednesday night through
Thursday night. The rain chances will be greater Thursday night
with this system.

There continues to be a slight chance to chance for rain showers
at times Friday through this next weekend with a series of weak
cold fronts or low pressure troughs moving across the region. The
models are not in agreement of the timing of the systems this
next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...A weak front has brought periodic reductions to the
ceilings and visibilities as light rain impacted areas primarily
northward of Cape Mendocino. Conditions should improve behind the
front this evening leaving generally VFR conditions across northwest
California. Some patchy MVFR conditions may develop along parts of
the coast and across some interior valleys tonight. Another weak
front may have similar impacts on northwest California airfields
Monday evening. /KML

&&

.MARINE...The large swell from yesterday subsided last night bringing
10 to 13 foot waves around 14 seconds as of this afternoon. This
northwesterly wave system will subside further tonight but only by a
foot or two. Expect this wave system to maintain an elevated sea
state, around 10 to 11 feet, on Monday and Tuesday. A weak front
will pass over the region Monday night with fresh north winds
developing in its wake on Tuesday. Wednesday will bring possibly the
lowest wave heights of next week with the sea state forecast to fall
to 5 to 7 feet. This will be shortlived as a stronger front brings
some quick hitting gales and steep wind driven waves late Wednesday
night. Seas will build further late next week as a fresh swell
propagates the coastal waters. /KML

&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...None.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...Small Craft Advisory until
3 AM PST Tuesday for PZZ450-455-470-475.
