AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
508 AM PST FRI FEB 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A VIGOROUS FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY
PRODUCING A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD TONIGHT AND MAINTAIN DRY WEATHER THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING. A WEAKER FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT
RAIN ON SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A VIGOROUS SHORT-WAVE OFFSHORE WILL IMPACT
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WITH A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY
WINDS THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY TODAY. GRADIENT WINDS HAVE BEEN
STEADILY INCREASING THROUGH NIGHT WITH GUSTS IN THE LOWER TO MID
40S MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN ABOVE 2000 FEET. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO RAMP UP THROUGH DAYBREAK...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
EXPECTED JUST BEFORE OR DURING FRONTAL PASSAGE BY MID MORNING.
NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES HAVE BEEN DETECTED BOTH AHEAD OF AND
ALONG THE FRONT EARLY THIS MORNING...OVER NW CALIFORNIA COASTAL
WATERS. WITH THE NEGATIVELY TILTED DIFFLUENT TROUGH ALOFT SWINGING
THROUGH THIS MORNING...EXPECT AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
BY DAYBREAK AS THE LINE MOVES ONSHORE. WITH 925MB-850MB WINDS OF
60-70KT...THERE IS DEFINITELY THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 50-60 MPH
DOWN TO MEAN SEA LEVEL ALONG THE COAST. THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD END BY THIS AFTERNOON AFTER THE SHORT-WAVE EXITS TO OUR NE.
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MAINTAIN
SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS
THOUGH. SNOW LEVELS WITH THE INCOMING STORM SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE
ALL THE MAJOR PASSES OF NW CALIFORNIA...ABOVE 4KFT...DURING THE
PEAK IN PRECIPITATION. THUS WILL HOLD OFF ON HOISTING WINTER
WEATHER HEADLINES. ELEVATIONS ABOVE 4KFT WILL DEFINITELY SEE
SNOW...PERHAPS UP TO A FOOT OF NEW SNOW BY LATE AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE WE ARE LOOKING AT MOSTLY A COLD RAIN AND PERHAPS
ISOLATED HAIL WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. FOR THE MOST PART
EXPECT ABOUT HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN.

LINGERING SHOWERS THIS EVENING WILL MOST LIKELY END LATER TONIGHT AS
A SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS CREATING LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW. OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES SHOULD COOL DOWN CONSIDERABLY WITH PARTIALLY CLEARING
SKIES AND LIGHTER WINDS. LINGERING MOIST AIR WILL PRODUCE POCKETS
OF THICK VALLEY FOG OR LOW CLOUD WHICH SHOULD OFFSET THE RATE OF
COOLING THROUGH THE NIGHT.

EVEN THOUGH A RIDGE ALOFT WILL BUILD ON SATURDAY...HIGH CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH A STORM CROSSING 160W WILL SPREAD OVER THE REGION
THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY. WE STILL EXPECT IT TO BE DRY ON SAT
INTO SAT NIGHT. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE TAIL END OF
THE FRONT WITH THIS STORM TO BRUSH NW CALIFORNIA WITH SOME LIGHT
RAIN ON SUNDAY. THE BRUNT OF THE RAIN WITH THE FRONT WILL BE TO
OUR NORTH IN OREGON AND WASHINGTON. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY HIGH WHILE WINDS REMAIN ONLY LIGHT TO MODERATE.

MON THROUGH FRI...LARGE SCALE RIDGING WITH ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES WILL DOMINATE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK. A COUPLE OF
FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL APPROACH THE WEST COAST AND MAY BRING SOME
LIGHT RAIN TO NW CALIFORNIA. THE FIRST ONE IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH
TUE OR TUE NIGHT. THE OPERATIONAL GFS...EMCWF AND GEFS INDICATE
THIS FRONT DAMPENING OUT CONSIDERABLY BEFORE REACHING THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH WE ARE GOING TO GET ANY
RAIN AT ALL WITH THIS FRONT. THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE TO INDICATE
MINIMAL RAIN PROBABILITIES. THE FRONT EXPECTED FRIDAY APPEARS TO
BE MORE ENERGETIC WITH STRONGER DYNAMICS AND UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT. LONG WAVE RIDGING WILL MOST LIKELY PERSIST OVER THE WEST
COAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...THUS WILL STAY CLOSE TO
CLIMATOLOGY OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NEAR THE ORCA BORDER. OTHER THAN THE
ABOVE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY AND
AN OCCASIONAL THREAT FOR SNEAKER WAVES EXPECT A QUITE WEEK
WEATHERWISE.

&&

.AVIATION... CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO COME DOWN THIS MORNING AS
A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. WELL ORGANIZED LINE OF HEAVY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MAKE IT ONSHORE THE REDWOOD COAST
WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. HAVE INCLUDED VCTS AT BOTH KCEC AND
KACV. WILL LIKELY NEED TO BUMP THAT UP TO PREVAILING IN A TAF
UPDATE. GRADIENT WIND GUSTS TO 40 KTS ARE LIKELY AT KCEC AND CLOSE
TO 30 KT AT KACV. GUSTS IN THUNDERSTORMS MY APPROACH 50 KTS AS
STRONGER LOW-LEVEL WINDS MIX DOWN. RAINS WILL INCREASE IN
INTENSITY AT KUKI THRU THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY IMPROVE ACROSS THE AREA BY AFTERNOON. /SEC

&&

.PREVIOUS MARINE...STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE
RAPIDLY ACROSS THE N 2/3 OF THE COASTAL WATERS. ISSUED A SPECIAL
MARINE WARNING FOR POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS OVER 50 KTS ALONG WITH
HAIL. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS WILL OCCASIONALLY GUST TO
NEAR 50 KT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE N OFFSHORE WATERS. STEEP...SHORT
PERIOD SEAS WILL RAPIDLY RAMP UP AS A RESULT. WINDS AND SHORT
PERIOD SEAS WILL RAPIDLY SUBSIDE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE GRADIENT
RELAXES. W SWELL OF 12 TO 14 FT AT 13 SECONDS WILL CONTINUE THRU
TONIGHT...THEN SLOWLY SUBSIDE THRU THE WEEKEND. A NEW BATCH OF W
SWELL WILL ARRIVE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH INITIAL
PERIODS OF 20 TO 22 SECONDS. /SEC
