AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
358 PM PST Tue Dec 6 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Another frosty night across NW California. Advisory
level snow expected over eastern Trinity county Wednesday
afternoon through Wednesday night. Wet pattern will continue
through early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Precipitation developed late last night as an upper
level shortwave disturbance passed through the area from the
northwest. Most locations in Humboldt county saw around one quarter
of an inch, with higher amounts observed in Del Norte county. This
short wave disturbance also ushered in some cool air aloft into the
area. Up to 2 inches of snow were observed in locations above 2500
feet. Shower activity diminished during the day as the shortwave
pushed east of the area. This afternoon, we are left with low to mid
clouds streaming in from the north, giving us partly cloudy skies.
However, this dry break is not going to last long. We have the next
system right in our door step. High cirrus clouds are starting to
stream into the area from the west this afternoon.

Sky cover should be increasing overnight tonight. With cold air
aloft ahead of the next system, do expect the overnight temperatures
to drop into the low to mid 30s along the coast, and colder inland.
Thus, kept the frost advisory and freeze warning as is.

Precipitation will be spreading into the area tomorrow afternoon.
Snow level will be around 2000 feet for Trinity county when the
precipitation started tomorrow afternoon. Do expect precipitation to
start as snow. However, snow level is expected to rise to 5000 feet
by early Thursday morning. Do expect the snowfall amount to be
limited by the changeover to rain. Right now, thinking about 1 to 4
inches of snow for locations above 2000 feet and along Highways 299,
3, and 36. One of the limiting factor for snow will be the poor
sounding profile. BUFKIT sounding indicates that the atmosphere will
not have a saturated dendritic growth zone during the course of the
precipitation event. Also, there is presence of low level inversion
and dry air below the snow growth zone. This indicates that the snow
will not be the high-quality huge fluffy snow. It will more likely
to be needles or plates, which will not accumulate as quickly as
the fluffy big flakes.

After this snow event for higher elevations, rain will be the
primarily precipitation mode through early next week. The wet
pattern looks like will continue with no dry break in sight. /RCL

&&

.AVIATION...Showers will diminish this evening making for mostly VFR
conditions across Northwest California tonight as subtle ridging
moves overhead. Mostly clear skies may result in some radiational
cooling and ground fog however ceiling or visibility reductions
should be minimal overnight as conditions are looking dry. On
Wednesday, south wind will increase with the approach of a vigorous
frontal boundary with rain forecast to start impacting the coast
late in the afternoon. Conditions will deteriorate with the onset of
the rain Wednesday night. /KML

&&

.MARINE...Seas should should ease tonight as northwesterly waves
system diminish across the coastal waters. The small craft advisory
nearshore will expire this evening due to lower winds and seas,
however, the advisory offshore will remain in effect through
Wednesday. The out waters will also experience a window of lower
winds and seas tonight however winds will be gusting into the lower
20 kt range before ramping up with the approach of the next storm
system.

A vigorous frontal system will approach Northern California coastal
waters from the west on Wed. The GFS continues to be the fastest and
strongest with southeasterly winds ramping up to GALE around mid to
late Wed afternoon. The NAM and ARW were not too far behind and have
boundary layer winds approaching 45 kt near Cape Mendo in the late
afternoon. Confidence is high the outer waters will see GALE force
winds. A gale watch was issued for the southern inner waters
starting Wednesday night due to possible gusts to 40 kt near Cape
Mendocino and Point Arena. The northern inner waters looks more
marginal with gale force gusts possible near the Cape and Point
Saint George but decided to hold off for now. If this thought
remains on track, a small craft advisory will need to be issued for
increasing winds and steep seas Wednesday evening. Despite
decreasing winds, the sea state will remain elevated through the
second half of the week. DUG/KML
