AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
459 AM PDT MON OCT 24 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will bring rain and gusty winds that will
spread across the area this morning. Showers will continue behind
the front. A general wet pattern is expected to persist through
the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A strong and rapidly deepening low is off the
ORegon coast. Models show this low dropping to around 970 MB. This
will continue to move to the north, but is bringing a cold front
to our area. As of 230 AM this cold front is about 60 miles
offshore. It is expected to bring a period of moderate to heavy
rain to the area this morning. Rainfall totals will vary, but will
generally range from 1 to 2 inches. The heaviest amounts will be
on the south slopes near the coast with less than an inch likely
in areas such as Eureka that will see downsloping/drying winds.
Gusty winds to 40 mph along the coast. There may be a few higher
gusts if the convective nature of the front persists.

This afternoon and tonight showers are expected behind the front.
These are expected to mainly be in Humboldt and Del Norte
counties. Instability is marginal so expect these storms won't be
very strong. Cape is only 100 to 200 j/kg. Thunderstorms are
likely over the waters north of Cape Mendocino, but it doesn't
look very likely that any will make it onshore.

Tuesday will be a break in between systems in most areas, although
clouds will likely persist. A few showers are possible in the
eastern part of the area. Tuesday night a warm front moves by the
area coming from the southwest. This will bring some light to
moderate rain to the coastal counties. Right behind this warm
front is a cold front. Wednesday morning this is just off the
coast. Here is where the models start to differ. The ECMWF keeps
it offshore and dry most of the day, while the GFS moves it
onshore and slowly across the area. The ECMWF finally moves it
across the area Wednesday night. Gusty winds to 40 mph are
expected with this front. Confidence is low in this system due to
the fact that a slight shift could bring significantly different
impacts to the area.

Thursday night into Friday an upper level low slowly approaches
the area. This brings another period of rain. The models are in
fair agreement on this, but upper level lows like this tend to be
more challenging than normal to predict. Southwest flows continues
into the weekend with additional waves moving through the flow
bringing periods of moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...Gusty south winds of 20 to 30 knots will continue at
all terminals through much of the day. Light rain will overspread
the region with visibilities dropping to 4 miles, occasionally
lower. Area profilers also show 40 to 60 knots of wind at 2000
feet (highest near KCEC, lightest at KUKI), which was approaching
LLWS criteria. Winds will decrease in speed by mid to late
afternoon, with MVFR ceilings around 2500 expected at KUKI.
Farther north, ceilings will remain in the VFR range. /PD

&&

.MARINE...A series of storm systems will affect the region
through the middle of next week. The first system is moving into
our area now, with observations showing wind gusts to 45 knots
across the outer waters, and near 30 knows closer to shore (within
10 nautical miles). Waves have been around 10 to 13 feet with
short periods of less than 10 seconds. Thus, the current gale
warning looks good and will keep headlines as they are.

The next strong system looks to affect the region by the middle of
the week, with yet another for the end of the week, followed by
additional storms next week. In all of these systems the basic theme
is the same, where they eject northeast while bringing periods of
increased winds and seas. Additional headlines will likely be needed
after this first system passes. /PD

&&

.EKA Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
CA...None.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...

Gale Warning until 11 AM PDT this morning for PZZ450-455-470-475.
