AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
610 AM PST Sun Feb 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Unsettled weather conditions are expected to continue
today through Tuesday with a second strong storm systems moving
across Northern California. Periods of moderate to localized heavy
rainfall, mountain snow (NE Trinity County), and strong southerly
winds are forecast.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Saturday's storm ended up bringing moderate to
localize periods of rainfall, and strong gusty winds for the
highest elevations across Northern California. Lingering light
showers is tapering off, with a brief shortwave ridge moving over
the area this morning.

A second strong system is expected to bring another round of
moderate to heavy period of rain today as a cutoff low and
associated surface cyclogenesis approaches the area this afternoon
and evening. Several lightning strikes have been detected with
this storm, indicating the potential of convective showers to our
area later today. A much broader plume of subtropical moisture
ingested to the southwesterly flow will move toward the region
this afternoon, along to the occluded front. The local pressure
gradient combined with a 45 to 65 kt jet streak at 925-850mb will
developed quickly this morning and afternoon, with strengthening
southerly winds redeveloping in response. Another round of gusts
up to 60 MPH is expected over the coastal headland and higher
terrain late this morning through this evening. A Wind Advisory is
in effect from late this morning through this evening for
Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino and Lake counties.

Convective allowing models (CAMs) has been consistently showing a
waving line of moderate to high reflectivity developing late this
morning offshore over the coastal waters and approaching the
coast early afternoon. The convective instability will also allow
stronger gusts to be mixed down with some of the heavier showers
and thunderstorms. Max hourly rates around 0.25 to 0.40 in/hr are
generally expected...though topographic forcing could yield in
locally higher rates around 0.50 to 0.70 in/hr, mainly in
Southern Humboldt, Mendocino and Lake counties.

In addition, snow levels are around 3,500 to 4,500 feet this
morning and are expected to rise around 4,500 to 5,500 late
morning. Convective showers will bring moderate to heavy snowfall
for elevation above 4,500 feet this afternoon through Tuesday. As
a result, more significant snow impacts are confined to over
Northeastern Trinity County with total snow amounts between 1 to 2
feet at Scott Mountain Pass on Highway 3. A Winter Storm Warning
is in effect from this afternoon through Tuesday afternoon.

Deterministic guidance indicates the closed low stalled offshore
of the California Coast through Monday night, and then will begin
to slowly move northward through Wednesday. During this
transition, a secondary wave from this storm will swing
northeastward with more unstable conditions with periods of
moderate to brief heavy rain. Strong winds are expected to mixed
down into the surface as result. Most likely wind gusts up to 55
MPH is expected from late tonight through late Monday, with
exceeds of 55MPH over the higher terrain across much of the
forecast area. NBM indicates there is a 20 to 40% chance for winds
exceeding 65 MPH over the higher terrain in Humboldt, Mendocino
and Lake counties on Monday. /ZVS

&&

.AVIATION...Southerly winds and generally VFR conditions continue
across the area this morning. Winds are expected to increase this
morning as a strong front approaches the area, especially above
2,000 to 4,000 feet above mean sea level. There is some uncertainty
on how much will mix down to the surface late this morning and
afternoon just ahead of the front so have increased the gusts at the
TAF sites. The stronger winds aloft will likely create some wind
shear as well. A strong band of showers and possibly a few
thunderstorms are expected with the front moving through the area
this afternoon. This will move through quickly this evening and then
showers are expected to continue behind the front. Winds will
diminish behind the front as well. MKK

&&

.MARINE...Winds and waves are starting to increase again as another
frontal boundary approaches the area. This front is expected to
bring near gale to gale force winds to the waters this morning and
into the afternoon. Gusty and erratic winds are likely and there may
be some thunderstorms associated with this front. A few storm force
gusts are possible, but they don't look widespread enough to warrant
a storm warning. The northern inner waters will likely get spared
from the strongest winds and waves due to the southeast winds coming
off the land, although they could certainly still see a few gale
force gusts.

Late tonight through Monday night the winds increase again ahead of
an area of low pressure that stalls off the coast. Winds are
expected to peak Monday afternoon with some gusts near storm force
off Cape Mendocino. This finally moves out of the area early on
Tuesday and quieter weather is expected through the remainder of the
week.

There is currently a swell moving through the waters this morning
around 11 feet at 14 seconds. This is expected to slowly diminish to
around 8 feet by Monday morning. At this point a second longer
period swell is expected to start around 4 to 6 feet at 16 seconds
and build to 11 feet at 14 seconds by Monday evening. This will
gradually diminish through the week with another swell building in
Tuesday night. MKK

&&

.HYDROLOGY...A second storm will bring additional periods of moderate to
localized heavy rainfall today through Tuesday. Once again a
rapid rise on rivers, streams, and creeks are expected. This will
bring another risk of minor flooding of urban areas and small
streams as a result. WPC continues to have portions of our area in
a "Slight Risk" for excessive rainfall today through Tuesday. The
Russian River at Hopland currently has around a 40 percent chance
of exceeding flood stage today through Tuesday. Scott's Creek
will also rise quickly today and exceed monitor stage (9 feet) by
Monday. Clear Lake in Lake County is expected to rise through the
weekend and exceed monitor stage (8 feet) by Tuesday, and may
bring minor flooding to some lake side residents. /ZVS
