AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
338 PM PST THU DEC 31 2015

.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.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...COLD TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. A HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE WILL MAINTAIN CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND DRY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. LIGHT OFFSHORE
WINDS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH NEW YEARS DAY.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS COASTAL AREAS WILL FALL TO NEAR 30 TO THE
MIDDLE 30'S EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. A HARD FREEZE WATCH IS IN EFFECT
FROM 2 AM THROUGH 8 AM FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE REDWOOD AND
MENDOCINO COAST ZONES. AN ADDITIONAL WATCH/WARNING MAY BE
REQUIRED FOR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES ACROSS INLAND
AREAS WILL FALL INTO THE 20'S AND LOWER 30'S TONIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. VALLEY FOG MAY DEVELOP IN SOME VALLEYS TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY MORNING WITH LIGHT TO CALM WINDS CREATING ICY ROAD
CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY SATURDAY AS AN
OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS THE WINDS TO THE SOUTH.
TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE FURTHER SUNDAY. THE OFFSHORE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE FOR RAIN
SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AT TIMES SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...STORMY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH WARM FRONTAL RAIN ON MONDAY, A COLD FRONT
BRINGING WIDESPREAD RAIN TO THE REGION ON TUESDAY, AND PERSISTING
SHOWER ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW CENTER SHIFTS OVERHEAD. THE
GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN THE MAGNITUDE AND TIMING OF THE RAIN. SNOW
LEVELS WILL REMAIN AROUND 3000-4000 FT EARLY NEXT WEEK SO PASS LEVEL
SNOWFALL WILL NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION WHILE CONFIDENCE REMAINS
LOW IN LOWER LEVEL ACCUMULATIONS. MODELS THEN BEGIN TO DIVERGE LATE
NEXT WEEK WITH WET WEATHER SHIFTING OUT BEFORE RIDGING MOVES IN.

.AVIATION...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS PERSISTED ACROSS NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA TODAY WITH INTERIOR VALLEY CLOUDS SCATTERING OUT BY EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD KEEP CLOUDS OUT OF KCEC AND
KACV TONIGHT WHILE SOME INTERIOR VALLEY CLOUDS WILL NOT BE OUT OF
THE QUESTION. LOW PRESSURE CUTTING OFF OVERHEAD WILL HELP KEEP
CEILINGS TONIGHT HIGHER THAN OBSERVED LAST NIGHT WITH IMPROVED
VISIBILITIES AS WELL. KML

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP INTO FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL
BRING RAIN TO THE WATERS ON SUNDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE
ACROSS THE FAR OUTER WATERS WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES LIKELY LATE
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. MODELS HAVE COME IN STRONGER WITH WINDS
BRINGING SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS TO THE OUTER WATERS AS WELL. WE WILL
NEED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY FOR GALES. FOR THE WAVES,
NORTHWESTERLY WAVE SYSTEMS WILL MAINTAIN 6 TO 8 FT SEAS THROUGH
FRIDAY WITH A LARGER SWELL ARRIVING SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS, IN
ADDITION TO BUILDING SHORT PERIOD WAVES WILL BRING THE SEA STATE
NEAR 10 FT. ENP IS SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR SNEAKER WAVES LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO KEEP AN
EYE ON OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WAVE MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT A MUCH
LARGER SWELL TO POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING NEARLY 20-22 FT SEAS AND HIGH SURF
CONDITIONS. KML/JT
