AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
309 PM PDT Mon Mar 20 2023

.SYNOPSIS...Wrap around rain and mountain snow showers will spread
into the area Tuesday and Wednesday. Another trough will bring
additional beneficial rain and mountain snow Thursday through
Friday. A colder storm will likely impact the area with more
beneficial rain and snow late this weekend or early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A nice break from the rainy weather today with a
shortwave ridge promoting subsidence and clearing skies. With a
cooler post frontal airmass and clearer skies comes the potential
for frost in the interior valleys tonight. Clouds in advance of
the next storm brewing offshore west of 130W will start to spread
over the area later tonight. This will counteract the longwave
cooling and reduce the risk for frost. National Blend of Models
and legacy guidance has temperatures falling into the mid 30's for
a couple of hours or so before cloud cover becomes too thick and
precipitations starts to fall across interior Mendocino and Lake
Counties early Tuesday morning. Thus, we hoisted a frost advisory
for interior Mendocino and northern Lake counties. The window for
frost will close quickly early Tuesday morning once precipitation
begins. Coastal areas could also have some frost early Tuesday
morning, especially as drying easterlies develop toward morning.
The east winds will also produce downslope warming in exposed
locations.

Otherwise, the brunt of the next storm will head southward into
central and southern California Tue. Wrap around precipitation
will spread into the area on Tuesday, with the highest amounts of
rain and mountain snow for Lake and southern Mendocino Counties.
Snow level guidance continues to indicate snow above 3500 feet in
the morning which is above the major highway passes in NW CA.
Some light snow or flurries may occur in the morning down to
2500-3000 feet, however accumulations are not expected to have a
major impact. Northerlies and northeasterly winds will also ramp
up as a compact surface low develops offshore central California.
We will see some gusty winds over the ridges and perhaps coastal
headlands. The models have been inconsistent with the magnitude of
northerly winds nearshore and for now we opted to follow the
blended guidance. An advisory for wind does not appear to be
necessary at this time.

We will likely see another uptick in precipitation coverage,
intensity and frequency Thursday through Friday as another
transient shortwave trough embedded in the westerly flow heads
into the Pacific Northwest. Snow impacts will be on the rise for
the west facing slopes of Del Norte, Humboldt and Trinity Counties
as early as Thu night. Travel on highways 299 and 36 may be impacted
with 2-4 inches of snow above about 2500 feet late Thursday or
early Friday morning. Light snow will be possible from 1500 to
2500 feet, but impacts will be minimal. The upshot is this storm
looks to move through quickly and precipitation intensity and
frequency should diminish over the weekend.

Model divergence and discrepancies grow with a large cold trough
digging southward offshore over the weekend into early next.
About 50% of ensemble clusters support a 500mb pattern that would
yield significant snow accumulations for NW California. Blended
guidance shows quite the ensemble range for elevations between
2500 to 3000 feet. There is still a great deal of variability
and uncertainty 6 to 8 days out and a lot of details still need
to be ironed out. Overall more beneficial rain and mountain snow
is expected into early next week. It will also get colder for
latter March and frost and freeze concerns will increase.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR ceilings eroded into the late morning while
surface winds remain light. Mid to high clouds will wrap around low
pressure working its way SE overnight. Dry, surface offshore flow
will aid in maintaining VFR criteria at ACV and CEC. Light
precipitation will eventually drive northward early Tuesday morning,
with the best coverage of rainfall at UKI. ACV may see brief light
drizzle or showers, which may develop brief MVFR conditions.
Ceilings will remain VFR for the most part, with UKI to see some
MVFR levels with the precipitation. Northerly winds will increase
throughout the day on Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...A brief lull in winds and seas in underway. By early
Tuesday, a strong surface low moving into C. CA will cause northerly
winds to quickly strengthen to gale strength in the outer waters.
The exact strength and position of the surface low as it moves in is
still undetermined, but confidence was high enough to launch Gale
Warnings for the outer zones. The gale will be maintained until
early Wednesday morning while steep, hazardous seas are generated. A
burst of these seas is expected to be delivered into the Northern
Inner zones Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Winds will
begin to ease early Wednesday morning. A NW swell will build in on
Friday to the low to mid teens.
