AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Eureka CA
443 AM PDT THU OCT 20 2016

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will remain over the region through
Friday resulting in mostly dry weather as well as warmer inland
temperatures. A weak front will approach the Oregon coast later
today and may bring light rain to Del Norte county by Friday. A
stronger weather system will bring periods of more widespread rain
toward the latter portion of the weekend into early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will continue to build over the area
today with mostly dry weather persisting through the week. Warmer
temperatures are expected this afternoon and a few locations may
top out in the lower to mid 80s. Some light showers will be
possible over coastal Del Norte county later today and Friday
morning as a weak front approaches the Oregon coast. The ridge
along our coast looks to keep the rain north of the California-
Oregon border. If any rain does occur expect it will be fairly
light and brief in duration with only a few hundredths of an inch
possible. Ridging will return on Friday and hold into Saturday.
Dry conditions will continue to prevail. A front will approach on
Saturday and cloud cover will probably start to increase in the
northern most zones. The GFS, ECMWF and ensembles continue to
indicate a return to a wetter flow pattern late in the weekend
into the early portion of next week. We increased rain chances
Sunday through Tuesday, however the timing, duration and amounts
are still sketchy. The GFS has the first bout of rain coming
through Saturday night. The ECMWF was slower and keeps the rain
confined to mostly Del Norte county through Sat night. Wet weather
with periods of rain will most likely continue Sunday night into
Tuesday as an upper trough in the Gulf of Alaska digs southward
and towards the West Coast. We could see 1 to 2 inches over a 3
day period from Sun to Tue. Drier conditions should return mid to
late next week as a cut-off low develops offshore well to our
southwest. DJB/JT

&&

.AVIATION...A weak frontal boundary will bring some mid and
upper cloud cover to the region today with very light rain possible
near the Oregon border. MVFR ceilings will be possible this
afternoon as the weak front approaches the north coast and areas
southward of Cape Mendocino can expect predominately VFR ceiLings.
Stratus should make a return to the north coast tonight with some
patchy fog possible. This could bring MVFR to IFR conditions to
KCEC and KACV and some interior valleys later tonight. /KML

&&

.MARINE...High pressure over the western United States will
maintain a weaker pressure gradient over the next few days. This
will result in light to moderate winds across the coastal waters.
The sea state is currently dominated by a westerly swell generated
from a storm system over the Alaska Peninsula. This will gradually
diminish through the work week before a new coming west swell brings
elevated seas for the weekend. Small craft advisories will likely be
needed for 10 to 12 ft seas this weekend starting late Friday night.
/KML

&&

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