AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
250 PM PDT Sun Mar 10 2024
.SYNOPSIS...Post frontal showers continue through the evening,
resulting in snow at higher elevations. Winds have eased and will
continue to do so until the next wave arrives, Monday afternoon.
Pleasant weather is expected mid week as ridging sets in.
&&
.DISCUSSION...A succession of quasi linear convective systems ushered in a wet
Sunday morning ahead of a cold frontal boundary. A considerable
amount of hail offshore along with stout wind gusts and rain
showers began to taper off as the convective system made landfall.
Higher amounts of precipitation accumulated closer to coastal
headlands near Cape Mendocino and coastal northern Humboldt.
Eureka has received around 0.64 inches as of the late afternoon.
Winds and precip are expected to rapidly diminish along the coast as
the progressive front quickly moves inland, however heaviest snow
showers will persist in northern and southern Trinity Counties. By
late this evening, total snowfall accumulations are expected to be 5-
8 inches above 3,500 ft in northern Trinity County, with
accumulations up to a foot on the highest mountain peaks. NBM and
HREF highlight a 70-80% probability of >5 inches in areas
surrounding Scott's Mountain Pass and Highway 3, while highways 299
and 36 can expect 3-5 inches by late tonight. Winter weather
advisory has been extended into southern Trinity to account for
higher HREF accumulation forecast.
A decent break will separate this system with the next, although
showery conditions will likely persist overnight into early Monday.
The next band of heavier precipitation is expected to arrive late
Monday afternoon as another shortwave traverses the area. Southerly
winds will increase yet again along the frontal boundary. NBM is
forecasting a high probability for wind gusts exceeding 35 mph along
coast north of Cape Mendocino and on exposed ridges beginning around
5PM Monday. Again, winds will be shortlived as the front diminishes
early Tuesday morning. QPF forecasts by WPC and NBM are both lower
with this system, with closer to 0.5-.75 inches over 24 hours by
Tuesday evening, with 1-1.5 inches expected on windward slopes in
the King Range and mountains of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties.
Lake and southern Mendocino can expect 0.25-0.5 inches. Even with
the heaviest rainfall occurring along the front early Tuesday
morning, models are indicating additional shortwaves providing the
forcing required to keep the precip going throughout the day on
Tuesday.
Snowfall is currently looking lighter for Monday night into Tuesday
in northern Trinity County - with lighter QPF and snow levels
hovering around 4,000 ft, impacts may be less significant. NBM
probabilities through Tuesday night have a 50-60% chance of >2
inches by Tuesday evening in northern Trinity, with most of the
snowfall likely confined to the higher peaks.
Otherwise, strong ridging is expected late this week through next
weekend. Long range models are forecasting highs in the 60's along
the coast and into the 70's inland and RH values below 50%.
Deterministic models have been showing a NE flow regime with
potentially strong downsloping winds in Lake County for late this
week as offshore high pressure migrates north. Details to come
regarding potential for wind advisories.
&&
.Aviation...Another front continues to move through Northwest
California. The band of moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds
will continue through the region from northwest to southeast. The
strongest winds, heaviest rain and lower ceilings/visibilities
have moved through CEC and will impact ACV into early this
evening. MVFR to IFR conditions are expected as the heaviest rain
moves through. The front will reach UKI by this afternoon and
persist into later this evening, also bringing periods of heavy
rain and MVFR to IFR conditions. Isolated post frontal showers are
expected to persist overnight. Another front is set to move
through by tomorrow afternoon with similar impacts as the front
today.
&&
.Marine...The second in a series of three fronts moved through
the marine zones this morning. Gale force winds dropped off
quickly after the front passed. A westerly swell will build today
with significant swell heights peaking around 16 ft at 15 seconds
late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Another robust frontal
system will move into the waters by tomorrow, bringing southerly
gales by afternoon and evening. Northerly winds and steep
northerly wind waves are forecast to return by mid week. A series
of NW swell groups will continue to spread into the waters all
next week.
