AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
231 PM PST Thu Dec 17 2020
.SYNOPSIS...Mainly dry conditions are forecast to occur across
northwest California tonight and Friday, followed by a round of
light rain Friday night into Saturday. An additional period of dry
weather will be possible during the middle of next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Substantial forecast uncertainty exists in the
occurrence of precipitation across NWRN CA during the next seven
days...particularly from Monday onward. In the meantime,
seasonable temperatures are expected across the region, with some
moderation in afternoon highs expected Friday through Sunday.
Otherwise, a period of very light rainfall will be possible Friday
night, with low rain chances lingering over Del Norte County
through the weekend. Farther north, an atmospheric river is
forecast to impact WA and OR on Sunday. Some model guidance brings
a dissipating piece of that feature south across NWRN CA Monday
and Monday night, while other guidance leaves the area dry.
Thereafter, some form of upper ridging appears to take hold of the
west coast Tuesday through Thursday, which would favor an
additional period of dry weather.
Garner
&&
.AVIATION...Nearly all the shower activity has dissipated as of
this writing. Cumulus has continued to become more scattered this
afternoon across the interior. The only aviation forecast
challenges remaining will how much low cloudiness and/or fog
develops due to radiational cooling and ground moisture tonight.
For now, have indicated tempo 4SM visibilities and a low broken
ceiling late tonight at both KCEC and KACV. For now, have
continued VFR at KUKI, but the oncoming shifts will continue to
monitor. /SEC
&&
.MARINE...N winds will continue to gradually diminish through the
night, with the strongest winds across the S outer waters. A weak
front will approach the area this weekend, bringing an uptick in
southerly winds across the northern waters Friday night. The
southern waters will likely see fluctuating wind directions after
the northerlies weaken tonight, but speeds should remain well
below 15 kt.
NW swell will continue to decay tonight, with a possible window
Friday evening where seas may briefly drop below 10 ft. A series
of mid-period swells are forecast to move in through the weekend,
keeping seas fluctuating in the 8 to 12 ft range through early
next week. /TDJ&SEC
