AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
514 AM PST Tue Feb 19 2019
.SYNOPSIS...Northwest California will see another mostly sunny and
cool day today before a weak area of low pressure approaches from
the north. This system will bring showers, especially to areas
north of Mendocino county, with overall light rainfall amounts.
Some modest mountain snow will impact highway passes as well. Cool
and dry conditions will return for Thursday and Friday, before
another round of rain showers and mountain snow arrives for the
weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...High pressure with a cold, dry airmass in place has
allowed for another cold night across northwest California, though
on average low temps are ending up 1 to 3 degrees milder than
Monday morning's lows. This has kept most of the Humboldt coast 30
degrees or higher; the exception being around Fortuna. Most of the
Eureka area will start off around 30 to 32 degrees, just above the
daily record low of 29 degrees set in 2006. Several of the
interior river valleys have seen freezing fog develop, and in
shaded spots early this morning that see fog, lesser traveled
roadways might be locally slick with a spot or two of black ice.
This fog will lift and clear by this afternoon, with another
mostly sunny day for northwest California otherwise. High temps
will once again run several degrees below seasonal averages for
mid to late February.
Clouds will begin to increase this afternoon across Humboldt and
Del Norte county in advance of the next area of low pressure, but
expect any rain showers will hold off until after sunset. Surface
low pressure will track southeastward across the Intermountain
West, as will the associated upper-level low. This will keep the
bulk of the instability and dynamics to our north and east. This
system will also have limited moisture, and rainfall amounts will
generally range from a quarter to a third of an inch from Eureka
to Crescent City tonight and Wednesday, with lighter amounts less
than a tenth of an inch over eastern Trinity and most of Mendocino
county. Mountain snow will be the main concern, though not as
great of a concern as with the storms of the past week or two.
Contemplated a Winter Weather Advisory for elevations above 2000
feet in Humboldt, Del Norte, and northern Trinity. Thinking
generally 1 to 3 inches of snow will fall across places like Berry
Summit and around the Collier Tunnel, which is right on the edge
of our criteria.
Low pressure will quickly pull away on Wednesday night, with high
pressure returning for Thursday and Friday, bringing more dry and
sunny weather. Northerly breezes Thursday afternoon will add to
the chill of below average high temperatures. Low temperatures
Friday morning will be cold again, similar to the first couple of
mornings this week. Another system, not dissimilar to the mid-
week system, will impact northern California this weekend with
more rain showers and mountain snow. Snow levels may be a bit
higher initially on Saturday, perhaps rising above 3000 feet,
before falling again on Sunday. /AAD

.AVIATION...VFR conditions will persist at all terminals today
beneath mostly clear skies. Modest northerly winds around 10 kt will
develop at CEC, ACV, and UKI during the afternoon. High clouds will
begin to stream into the area from the north this evening, with
light rain moving into CEC and ACV after 06z and possibly dropping
ceilings to MVFR at times. /CB
&&
.MARINE...The combination of high pressure offshore and a series
upper lows dropping into the western CONUS will maintain moderate to
strong northerly breezes and corresponding steep short period seas
over the coastal waters of northern CA for much of the week. The
nearshore waters will see a brief break in Small Craft Advisory
conditions tonight as the strongest winds shift offshore, however
advisory level conditions will likely redevelop on Wednesday as an
upper level disturbance approaches from the north. Winds and short
period seas will likely peak Wednesday night into Thursday, with
gale force gusts possible across the outer waters. In addition to
the steep short period seas, a mid period NW swell will continue to
propagate through the coastal waters for the remainder of the week.
This swell will build to around 12 feet at 12 to 14 seconds during
the middle of the week, yielding combined seas on the order of 15 to
17 feet Wednesday night into Thursday. Slightly calmer conditions
appear likely heading into the weekend as a front approaches the
area. /CB
