AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
220 PM PDT TUE OCT 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Generally dry weather will continue through Wednesday.
A series of strong pacific fronts will bring periods of gusty winds
and heavy rain to the region from Thursday through Sunday with a
brief break in the weather on Friday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The first in a pair of strong, early season storm
systems will approach the area from the NW late Wednesday and
early Thursday. In response to the potentially strong winds have
issued a High Wind Watch for the north coast and for higher
elevations of the north coast interior.  Multiple surface lows
are forecast to rapidly deepen well N of the area. Deep moisture
will enter the base of the upper trough and spread S along the
Pacific NW coast, leading to a period of moderate to heavy
rainfall from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. Favored
areas for the heaviest rainfall will be across S facing terrain,
particularly across inland Del Norte and N Humboldt counties and
the King Range of SW Humboldt county. Rainfall during this event
may top 3 to 5 inches in orographically favored areas. Increasing
S winds will lead to a rain shadow effect along portions of the
Redwood Coast, particularly around Humboldt Bay. However, even
there, rainfall totals will likely exceed 1 to 2 inches. Winds
will ramp up quickly during the day Thursday with gusts to 60 mph
possible over higher terrain near and N of Cape Mendocino. Wind
advisories may be needed for portions of the area. There is the
possibility of isolated thunderstorms over our N coastal waters
Thursday night, possibly impacting adjacent land areas of Del
Norte county as well. Due to high uncertainty and expected low
coverage, have left out of the forecast for now, but these may
need to be added with later packages.

After a brief respite on Friday, another storm system will bomb
offshore the Pacific NW coast Friday night and Saturday. The GFS
drops the central pressure of the surface low to 955 mb Saturday
afternoon just W of Vancouver, Canada. Another slug of heavy
rainfall will accompany the attendant surface front. Additionally,
a very strong low-level jet will bring stronger winds to the area,
particularly at higher elevations and along coastal headlands.
Wind advisories and high wind watches/warnings for Saturday
afternoon and evening will likely be needed. Wind gusts in excess
of 70 to 80 mph are possible over the highest elevations near and
N of Cape Mendocino. Rainfall amounts with this 2nd system may be
similar to the 1st. Later shifts will need to monitor the area
river response to the 1st rains for possible impacts during the
2nd event. /SEC/JT

&&

.AVIATION...The marine layer deepened substantially last night
resulting in higher ceilings at the coast and ifr ceilings at KUKI.
Even though the layer was up to about 2000 feet this afternoon,
ceilings were still around 200-400 feet with occasional vsbys of 2sm
or less at both KCEC and KACV today. The layer should continue to
deepen tonight and may completely eradicate Wed afternoon and
evening as a front begins to perturb the layer. Overall expect
primarily MVFR with interludes of IFR at the coastal terminals
tonight. Low ceilings will likely push over the hump into KUKI again
tonight and near IFR ceilings are expected.

&&

.MARINE......STRONG WINDS AND LARGE SEAS EXPECTED THU THROUGH SUN...

Weak high pressure offshore will maintain light winds across the
area through Wednesday. Winds will become south and increase on
Thursday with strong gales expected as a low pressure system deepens
north of the area. The timing of the onset of GALE FORCE and STORM
FORCE winds are still not completely certain. Current indications
are for the strongest winds to hit in the afternoon and evening
Thursday. GALES ARE HIGHLY PROBABLE FROM CAPE MENDOCINO NORTHWARD on
Thursday. STORM FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE ON THURSDAY as well. GALE
FORCE winds are not as certain for Mendocino waters inside 10nm.
Headlines have been added to the forecast for Mendocino inner waters
to highlight the threat. Stormy weather will last into the weekend.

Large westerly-northwesterly swell will build late in the week.
Breakers could reach 25 feet by Thu evening. It will be marginal for
an advisory, but since it is the first large swell of the season our
criteria will not be as stringent. Another burst of westerly winds
will generate a new push of water over the weekend. The swell
generated from this weekend storm will approach HIGH SURF WARNING
criteria with breakers up to 28 feet at the beaches. HIGH SURF
ADVISORIES or WARNINGS and BEACH HAZARD STATEMENTS will be
forthcoming later in the week as the event grows closer and
confidence increases.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...COPIUS AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTH COAST AND NORTH COAST INTERIOR MOUNTAINS FROM THURSDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. AT THIS TIME MAIN STEM RIVERS WILL TAKE A STEEP
RISE BEGINNING FRIDAY BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH MONITOR STAGE.
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS MAY FLOOD AND SOME AREAS OF URBAN
FLOODING IS LIKELY AT TIMES.

&&

.EKA Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
CA...High Wind Watch from Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening
     for CAZ101>106.

NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...Gale Watch from Thursday morning through late Thursday night for
     PZZ450.

     for PZZ470.

     Gale Watch from Thursday afternoon through late Thursday night
