Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 3:44 PM PST, 11 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
344 PM PST Tue Feb 27 2018
.SYNOPSIS...A series of storm systems will bring active weather to
Northwest California Wednesday through Saturday. Gusty winds and
moderate rain is expected on Wednesday which will be followed by
rain, snow, and hail showers Thursday through Saturday morning.
There will then be a brief period of drier weather Sunday into
Monday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
.Short Term...Tuesday afternoon through Saturday) Quiet weather
will continue for the rest of today as a low pressure system
advances towards the region. This storm system will bring
increasing southerly winds to the region tomorrow with the
strongest winds occurring Wednesday afternoon and evening. Gusts
up to 50 mph are forecast for exposed ridges at higher elevations
while winds at the coast and in valleys will be much lower,
ranging from 20 to 35 mph. Rain will also be gradually spreading
across the region on Wednesday starting in Del Norte County and
arriving to Mendocino County by Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Snow levels on Wednesday will start off around 2500 feet before
the system arrives which will push the snow levels up to 4000 to
4500 feet. The exception will be extreme eastern Trinity County
which will hover around 2500 to 3000 feet. By Wednesday evening
snow levels begin their downward descent with accumulating snow
starting in the ridges of Trinity County. We posted a Winter Storm
Warning as a result of this for areas above 1500 feet. Scott
Mountain Summit should see 8 to 12 inches of snow with the first
round and then even more accumulating snow Thursday through
Saturday morning. Elsewhere, which includes eastern Del Norte and
Humboldt counties and northeast Mendocino County, a Winter Storm
Watch remains in effect. Confidence is pretty high that
accumulating snow will happen at pass level (around 1500 feet),
but is medium for total snow amounts. For a detailed map on the
snow amounts and hazards, you can check out the weather story on
our home page. At the coast, temperatures will be cool and snow
levels will be falling. Small hail and isolated thunderstorms look
favorable for Thursday and Friday for those along the coast with
perhaps even some snow showers for those near 1000 to 1500 feet.
There is some uncertainty for the valleys of Del Norte, Humboldt,
Mendocino counties (think Myers Flat, Avenue of the Giants, Ukiah,
etc) about whether or not they will see snow. It definitely looks
possible but confidence is low in accumulating snow. Snow, hail,
and rain showers will start to taper off Saturday morning.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Tuesday morning) Shortwave ridging
will cause rain and snow showers on Sunday to gradually diminish
into the evening. Subsequently, snow levels will slowly rise
through early next week as 850mb temperatures increase with a
warmer airmass. This will allow daytime temperatures to increase
within a few degrees of normal for this time of year. Despite the
weak ridging over northwest California, a closed low pressure
system offshore will bring the potential for additional rain later
Monday into Tuesday. Confidence is low in the timing, however, as
the GFS has the low farther offshore than the ECMWF which will
delay the arrival of rain until possibly the middle of next week.
That said there is still uncertainty in the length of a potential
dry-weather window Monday and Tuesday before the next opportunity
of rain. /KML
&&
.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail for much of northwest
California through tonight. It won't be till early Wednesday morning
until upper cloud cover will begin to shift over the region in
advance of an approaching storm system. Light, warm frontal rain
first imact airfields on the north coast through the morning hours
with increasing south winds Wednesday afternoon and evening. It
won't be til later in the TAF period (Wednesday afternoon) when rain
becomes more widespread. Expect ceilings and visibilities to lower
to MVFR with the onset of rain. Conditions will continue to
deteriorate Wednesday night as rain rates increase across much of
the region. /KML
&&
.MARINE...A gale warning remains in effect across the southern
waters through early this evening. Conditions will start to let up
this evening with seas falling throughout the night. Seas will
bottom out on Wed. Southerly winds will develop on Wed and increase
through the day, primarily north of the Cape. Significant southerly
wave generation should hold off til Wed evening and overnight Wed,
when winds hit 20-30 kt. The potential for gale force winds will
also crop up, especially around the Cape.
A large northwesterly swell will start to build on Thu. Significant
wave heights will likely reach 15 to 18 feet with dominant periods
near 15 seconds by Fri. A surf advisory may be necessary, however
confidence in the GFS wind forecast offshore remains low due to the
run to run variations and discrepancies with other models.
