AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
543 AM PST FRI MAR 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...PERIODS OF RAIN WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. A DRYING TREND WILL BEGIN ON TUESDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING MID NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER CONTINUES TO TARGET SONOMA
COUNTY EARLY THIS MORNING. SOME LIGHT RAIN HAS FALLEN ACROSS
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA BUT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS REMAINED JUST
SOUTH OF THE AREA DESPITE EXCELLENT UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS OVER THE
REGION. RAINFALL OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS IS APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT
OF WHAT WAS PREDICTED IN THAT SAME TIME PERIOD IN MENDOCINO
COUNTY. THUS RIVER FORECASTS IN MENDOCINO COUNTY ARE LIKELY OVER
DONE AND WILL NEED ADJUSTED DOWN WITH THE COMING RIVER FORECAST
UPDATE AT 9 AM. AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WILL PERSIST TODAY
AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE COAST MOVES NORTHEAST THROUGH
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA AND WEAKENS. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THIS MORNING
HAVE BEEN STRONG ON RIDGE TOPS OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND A WIND
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH NOON TODAY. WINDS WILL DECREASE
AND TURN WESTERLY THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH SOME GUSTY CONDITIONS
MAY REDEVELOP ALONG THE MENDOCINO COAST FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE
EVENING.

SATELLITE INDICATES THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM FOR SATURDAY HAS
DEVELOPED AND IS RIGHT ON THE HEALS OF THE STORM SYSTEM BRINGING
OUR RAIN TODAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL REDEVELOP FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS APPROACHING ADVISORY LEVELS ON THE
EXPOSED RIDGES OF HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES. A BAND OF RAIN
IN ADVANCE OF AND WITH A COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY PASS THROUGH THE
ENTIRE REGION SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY ONSHORE WESTERLY FLOW IN ITS
WAKE. THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALLOW SHOWERS TO PERSIST THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT TO BE FOLLOWED AGAIN BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT WITH A
ROUND OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY. TOTAL PRECIPITATION OVER
THE WEEKEND WILL AVERAGE FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TO NEAR 7 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF DEL
NORTE...HUMBOLDT... AND NORTHERN MENDOCINO COUNTIES. THIS RAIN
WILL FALL ON SATURATED GROUND WHICH WILL ALLOW MAIN STEM RIVERS
AND SMALLER CREEKS/STREAMS TO RISE. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
SMALL STREAM FLOODING OVER THE WEEKEND AND AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY FOR DEL NORTE AND HUMBOLDT
COUNTIES. RAIN WILL DECREASE TO SHOWERS ON MONDAY AS THE SUNDAY
COLD FRONT MOVES INLAND. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT TO NEAR 3000 FEET AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES COULD BE
REQUIRED. OTHERWISE SNOW LEVELS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE 4000
FEET THIS WEEKEND LIMITING IMPACTS FROM SNOW ACCUMULATION.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...LITTLE HAS CHANGED IN THE
EXTENDED FORECAST AS MODELS REMAIN ON TRACK WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
MOVING OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THIS MEANS MOSTLY DRY WEATHER
AND NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL DAY TIME TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE 5-WAVE MODEL SUGGESTS THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SPLIT FLOW WITH A SHORTWAVE MOVING SOUTH OF THE RIDGE. THIS COULD
BRING ENHANCED EASTERLY FLOW THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH WARMER
TEMPERATURES ALONG COASTAL AREAS. THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN
WON'T BE TILL LATE NEXT WEEK BUT THERE IS STILL DISPARITY BETWEEN
THE LONG RANGE MODELS AT THIS TIME. STAY TUNED. KML

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED SHOWERS TODAY WILL BRING PERIODS OF MVFR OR
EVEN IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. THE
BEST CHANCES FOR LOWER CEILINGS WILL BE ACROSS THE INTERIOR WHERE
CLOUDS MAY BECOME TRAPPED IN VALLEY LOCATIONS. OTHERWISE VFR WILL
LIKELY PREVAIL AT THE COAST. WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE TODAY AND
GUSTY AT TIMES AS SOUTHERLY WINDS BECOME WESTERLY BEHIND A COLD
FRONT AND THEN QUICKLY SOUTHERLY AGAIN THIS EVENING AS ANOTHER
FRONT PUSHES TOWARD THE COAST.

&&

.MARINE...THE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS ACTIVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS MULTIPLE APPROACHING SYSTEMS INCREASE SOUTH
WINDS AND HIKE UP STEEP WAVES. THE NEXT LOW WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE
WATERS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS. WINDS WILL QUICKLY TURN TO
THE NORTH BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TONIGHT BEFORE SOUTH WINDS
RAMP UP AGAIN EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE SYSTEM ON SATURDAY MORNING
WILL BE A QUICK HITTER BRINGING A FEW HOURS OF GALES MOSTLY
OFFSHORE. WAS CONSIDERING ISSUING A GALE WARNING BUT THOUGHT IT BEST
TO WAIT AND SEE TODAY'S MODEL RUNS BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGER.
EXPECT A REPEAT EARLY SUNDAY THEN BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE WILL NOSE
OVER THE REGION PUSHING ANY ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO OUR NORTH.
OTHERWISE WESTERLY SWELLS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS
TODAY AND SATURDAY. THE LARGEST OF THE WAVE SYSTEMS WILL PEAK ON
SUNDAY BRINGING NEARLY 20 FT SEAS. ENP SUGGESTS THIS WILL BRING THE
POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH SURF ADVISORY ON SUNDAY BUT OVER THE PAST WEEK
OR SO MODELS HAVE BEEN BACKING OFF ON LARGE PREDICTED SWELLS A FEW
DAYS OUT. I WOULD LIKE MY CONFIDENCE TO INCREASE A LITTLE MORE
BEFORE ISSUING AN ADVISORY SO WILL WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT MODEL
OUTPUT. KML

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THERE REMAINS A CHANCE FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN
THIS MORNING IN MENDOCINO COUNTY WHICH COULD RESULT IN URBAN OR
SMALL STREAM FLOODING...BUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEAVY RAIN ARE
RAPIDLY DECREASING AS THE CORE OF THE MOISTURE FROM THE
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER PUSHES INLAND. IN ADDITION...FLOODING ON THE
NAVARRO AND RUSSIAN IS LOOKING LESS SIGNIFICANT AS RAINFALL WAS
LESS THAN FORECAST OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS DESPITE EXCELLENT UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS. A NEW RIVER FORECAST WILL BE OUT BY 9 AM.

THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN BOUTS OF HEAVY RAIN THIS
WEEKEND AS TWO STORM SYSTEMS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WITH RAIN
FALLING ON SATURATED GROUND. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SMALL STREAM AND
LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING WILL BE IN DEL NORTE...HUMBOLDT AND
NORTHERN MENDOCINO COUNTIES. AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. MAIN
STEM RIVER FLOODING IS LESS LIKELY BUT STILL POSSIBLE. STAY TUNED
FOR UPDATES.
