Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 5:40 AM PDT, 9 hours 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
540 AM PDT Tue Mar 26 2024
.SYNOPSIS...Dry weather with near normal temperatures will continue
today. A cold front will move across the area on Wednesday,
bringing rain and gusty southerly winds. A second storm will
approach on Friday and will likely result in more wet and
unsettled weather through the weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...High pressure over the area this morning is
expected to bring generally a mix of sun and clouds today. Many
of the inland areas are seeing low clouds and fog and these will
clear by mid to late morning. Northwest winds this morning will
switch to southerly winds by late this afternoon as an upper level
low and associated frontal system approaches the area. A warm
front is expected to start bringing some rain to the area as
early as midnight tonight. Southerly winds will continue to
increase and this will focus the rain on to the southern slopes.
Downsloped areas such as around Humboldt Bay may see a later
onset of precip. Rain is expected to generally be light through
sunrise in all areas with the warm front. The front will approach
from the northwest and start to move onshore in Del Norte county
around sunrise bringing heavier rain. Humboldt county is expected
to see rain pick up by mid to late morning. The strongest winds
are expected just ahead of the front. 925MB winds are expected to
reach 45 to 55 kt along the coast north of Cape Mendocino. The
coast of Del Norte county and the ridges of Humboldt and Del Norte
counties will likely see gusts around 50 mph. Through the morning
and into the afternoon the front will continue to move south and
east bringing rain to Mendocino and Lake counties. There areas
will also see gusty winds to 40 mph on the exposed areas and over
the higher terrain. This will be followed by the heavier rain as
well. This front is expected to bring 3 to 5 hours of heavier rain
with the front.
Behind the front Wednesday night and Thursday showers are
expected to continue as the upper level moves towards the Oregon
coast and stalls. This will bring additional rain and snow. Snow
levels are expected to drop with this to around 3500 to 4000 feet.
This may need to be highlighted by a winter weather advisory late
Wednesday night and Thursday morning in Trinity county. This
upper level low and the colder air aloft will also bring the
potential for thunderstorms to mainly the Humboldt and Del Norte
coasts. The ECMWF EFI is showing areas of 0.7 to 0.8 for CAPE
starting Wednesday evening so will need to be monitored as it gets
closer.
Thursday night and Friday the upper level low starts to
retrograde to the west and then drop south. Saturday and Sunday
this is expected to continue to pinwheel and drop south. Previous
model runs were indicating another round of strong winds, but the
current ensemble clusters are mostly showing the stronger winds
off the coast. This still brings quite a bit of rain to Mendocino
and Lake counties and even eastern Trinity county, but leaving
Humboldt and Del Norte drier. As this low drops south just off the
coast a small shift east or west could change the impacts
noticeably. As such, this is still a low predictability pattern
and it will need to be watched as it gets closer. Early next week
it looks drier weather will build into the area. MKK
&&
.AVIATION...Low clouds and fog have developed across the interior
valleys and much of the adjacent coastal areas overnight. LIFR
visibility in fog have been impacting KACV early this morning, while
the rest of the terminals conditions are in VFR ceiling and
visibility. Expect low clouds and fog lift and mix out by mid/late
morning. Prevailing VFR conditions with mixing clouds are expected
today at all terminals. Surface light and variable winds, becoming W
at 5 to 10 kts after 18Z, shifting to S this after 27/01Z. Late
tonight, conditions will gradually deteriorate as a frontal boundary
bring SCT SHRA and gusty southerly winds. Low level wind shear will
be possible at the coastal terminals early Wednesday morning as a
result. Strongest winds are expected to bring dangerous conditions for
KCEC Wednesday morning into Wednesday afternoon. /ZVS
&&
.MARINE...Northwesterly winds continues diminishing across the
waters this morning. Southerly winds will gradually to developed
this afternoon and evening. Winds will accelerate rapidly after
midnight and pick up late tonight/early Wednesday with fresh to near
gale winds across the waters, with the strongest winds north of Cape
Mendocino. Gale force gusts up to 40 kts are forecast for the
northern waters Wednesday morning. A Gale Warning is in effect for
the northern waters in response from early Wednesday morning to
early Wednesday afternoon. In addition, a long period NW swell
fills in this morning, and peak up late tonight around 8 to 9 feet
at 16 to 17 seconds.
Winds diminish in the wake of the front Wednesday afternoon, however
another surge of strong winds will quickly redevelop Wednesday
evening as a shortwave within the upper low traverse the waters. A
large mid period westerly swell builds in on Thursday with
