AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
505 AM PST Tue Nov 14 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Mostly dry weather is expected today before a potent
front brings another round of gusty winds and rain on Wednesday.
Colder air with abundant showers and lower snow levels will follow
on Thursday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Radar has been showing isolated light showers
offshore and diminishing through the night. The high resolution
models, in particular the ARW and NMM, continue to indicate the
possibility for light showers due to the weak upslope flow today,
primarily over the King range and across Del Norte county. Most
of the forecast area will remain dry today before rain hits on
Wednesday.

The next frontal system was starting to take shape outside 135W
early this morning. The models continue to show this next front
approaching the coast late tonight. Light to moderate rain may
start to fill the radar scope by sunrise Wednesday, however the
bulk of the rain is expected to arrive during the day on Wednesday.
The consensus from the models is for the heaviest rain to fall
from late morning through the afternoon and evening hours. One to
three inches of rain will definitely be possible as high
precipitable water from the subtropics gets ingested into the
frontal boundary.

The main forecast challenge has been figuring out the timing
and location of strong southerly to southeasterly winds as a
wave develops southwest of Cape Mendocino early Wednesday morning.
All the models remained consistent with ramping up 925mb winds
to 50 to 70 mph offshore the Mendocino coast and south of the
King range Wednesday morning. The higher elevations and exposed
ridges will certainly receive wind gusts around 50 mph. Confidence
is not so high that the coastal areas and the valleys will see
wind gusts to 50mph. A brief period Wednesday morning before the
rain hits looks to be the best opportunity for strong winds near
mean sea level as a surface low rapidly approaches the coast.
Surface gradients and synoptic scale pressure falls are not
looking very favorable, however there are indications of
instability and convection Wednesday morning. A wind advisory for
western sections of Mendocino county has been hoisted. Further
north across Humboldt and Del Norte counties, winds may not be as
strong on Wednesday. Winds for the Del Norte county coast and
higher terrain of Humboldt county look to peak late tonight into
early Wed morning as the boundary approaches the coast. Gusts to
40-50 mph will certainly be possible over the coastal headlands.
Main impacts will be down trees and branches along with possible
power outages on Wednesday.

The widespread rain will change over to occasional showers on
Thursday. Instability arising from cold air aloft will bring a
threat for low topped storms and locally heavy rain on Thu. Snow
levels are expected to fall to around 4kft on Thu. Snow may occur
over South Fork Mountain Summit on route 36, however snow amounts
are very elusive at this time to warrant a winter weather statement
or watch. Freezing levels should fall more Thursday night, however
the precip will begin to wind down during this period. Friday
overall is looking dry and cooler.

Model guidance continues to show a pattern favorable for longer
duration heavy rain this weekend. GFS continues to be the fastest
and wettest, while the ECMWF keeps most of the rain offshore
through Saturday. By Sunday or Sunday night, widespread moderate
to heavy rain is probable. The pattern does appear to be a mild
one with fairly high snow levels with minimal or no snow impacts
for the major hwy passes of NWRN CAL. This will need to be
monitored for possible hydrological concerns as we head into the
latter portion of the week.

.AVIATION...RGB satellite imagery this morning shows low cloud in
the river valleys of Humboldt and Mendocino counties with KFOT and
KUKI reporting LIFR conditions. Low cloud and associated fog in
these areas is expected to burn off after sunrise leaving the CWA
with VFR conditions for the rest of the day. An approaching storm
system will bring increasing southerly winds later this evening and
into the overnight hours with rain spreading from north to south
after midnight. Wind shear has not been added to the 12Z TAF
package, but may need to be added to coastal forecast sites in
future updates.

&&

.MARINE...Small craft advisories remain in effect this morning as
buoys are reporting significant wave heights of 10 and 11 feet at 11
to 13 seconds. These conditions are expected to taper off as the
westerly subsides thus the southern outer waters and northern inner
waters should be hazard free if seas fall as expected. This will be
short lived  as a storm system brings increasing southerly winds to
the waters. Gale force winds are expected with the strongest winds
occurring over the northern and southern outer waters. Models are
still struggling to place the the core of the strongest winds, but
gales look certain. The southern outer waters may experience gusts
up to 50 kts for a short period of time Wednesday morning, but
confidence was not high enough to support a storm warning. The
southerly winds will also be responsible for building steep wind
driven waves.
