Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 2:44 PM PDT, 12 hours 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
244 PM PDT Tue Mar 20 2018

.SYNOPSIS...An Pacific storm will bring periods of light to
moderate rain to Northwest California through Thursday. Cooler air
with moderate to heavy snow down to 2000 ft is expected Thursday
night through Saturday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Clouds and a few sprinkles are present over NW CA
at this time as a warm front slowly moves across the region. This
will continue most of the night before another rain producing cold
front moves in on Wednesday. The cold front will produce moderate
rain along with some gusty winds along the coastal hills but sea
level winds should will not be especially strong. The cold front
will move across the region Wednesday night into the early morning
hours of Thursday. Snow levels will remain fairly high during
this time period and do not anticipate any winter weather
concerns through Wednesday night. A brief break in the
precipitation will occur Thursday afternoon/evening while snow
levels fall dramatically into Friday morning. This will usher in
a 24-36 hour window of winter weather to elevations above 2000 ft
beginning late Thursday night. The period from late Thursday
evening through Friday evening may require a Winter Storm Warning
as abundant snow fall is expected above 2000 ft mainly impacting
local highway passes along 299 and 36 and perhaps 199. Shallow
instability and showers will linger on the backside of the trough
on Saturday and Sunday, thus added a slight chance of thunderstorms
and small hail to the near coast region on Saturday. Upper
ridging/warming aloft and offshore wind flow should result in
drier conditions Sun Night and Monday. The models indicate a warm
front moving over the ridge on Monday and Tuesday, however the
southern extent of the rain is most likely overdone so have kept
the forecast dry during that period.

&&

.AVIATION...An offshore low pressure system continued to advect a
plethora of clouds across Northwest California. At noonday, Cigs
were mostly hovering in the (lower) middle cloud levels
(6500-10000 FT) but occasionally a little lower. A somewhat ill-
defined warm front, associated with the Low, brought some feeble
amounts of rain as far north as ACV today. Winds also remained
generally light, although brief gustiness occurred at EKA & FOT as
the warm front moved over then weakened. Through the 00z TAF 24
hour period, rain will become more widespread on Wednesday as will
increasing southerly winds, and lowering clouds/visibilities. /TA

&&

.MARINE...Southeasterly winds will increase through Wednesday as an
approaching storm system tightens the pressure gradient across the
coastal waters. A small craft advisory was issued for the southern
outer waters primarily for wind gusts near 25 kt through tonight. A
stronger round of winds will impact the waters Wednesday night
through early Thursday morning as a front passes overhead. The wind
forecast has been problematic the past few days, which has lowered
confidence, but near gale gusts will be possible early Thursday
followed by a period of westerlies. We will need to consider small
craft advisories across the waters, at most a short lived gale, as
conditions deteriorate. Steep waves will build with increasing winds
this week but a fresh, westerly swell will elevate the sea state
near 12 to 15 feet late in the work week and into the weekend.
