AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
442 PM PST WED DEC 9 2015
.SYNOPSIS...A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL IMPACT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
TONIGHT BRINGING STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL
TO THE REGION. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BRINGING
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO PASS LEVELS. WET WEATHER WILL PERSIST INTO
THE WEEKEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING)...LIGHT RAIN
CONTINUES ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS THE FRONT STALLS OVER
NORTH/CENTRAL STATE. LIGHT STRATIFORM RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE LATE AFTERNOON AS THE WARM FRONT SHIFTS OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. A MORE POTENT COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA BRINGING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z
TONIGHT. THE WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT TONIGHT AS STRONG
SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT BRINGING 45 MPH GUSTS
ALONG THE COAST AND 55 MPH GUSTS TO THE COASTAL HILLS AND
MOUNTAINS. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT AS WELL AS HEAVY RAINS
WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SMALL STREAM AND URBAN FLOODING ESPECIALLY
ACROSS DEL NORTE, HUMBOLDT, AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST MENDOCINO
COUNTIES. RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH THURSDAY WILL AMOUNT TO A
WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH OROGRAPHICALLY FAVORABLE AREAS
GETTING 3 TO 4 INCHES THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. SOME SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS COLDER AIR MOVES OVERHEAD BEHIND THE FRONT,
HOWEVER, EARLY THURSDAY MORNING SNOW LEVELS SHOULD BE AROUND 4000
TO 5000 FT BUT CONTINUE TO DROP THROUGH THURSDAY. SOME CONVECTION
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING BUT MOSTLY OFFSHORE.
COASTAL FLOODING WILL ALSO POSE A THREAT TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
BEACHES AROUND HIGH TIDE ON THURSDAY MORNING BETWEEN 9 AND 11 AM.
THIS IS IN DUE TO A COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AND
HIGH SURF WASHING MUCH FARTHER UP BEACHES. LOW LYING AREAS NEAR
THE COAST AND AROUND HUMBOLDT BAY WILL BE AT THE GREATEST RISK
FOR COASTAL FLOODING. KML
.MID TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...THURSDAY MORNING
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...THE PRIMARY ITEM OF CONCERN DURING THIS
TIME FRAME WILL BE THE ARRIVAL OF COLDER AIR FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE
OF THE COLD FRONT...AS THIS WILL RESULT IN BOTH A TRANSITION TO
CONVECTIVE SHOWER ACTIVITY AND LOWERING SNOW LEVELS. CURRENT MODEL
PROJECTIONS INDICATE THAT THE INITIAL SURGE OF COLD AIR WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA ROUGHLY BETWEEN 12Z AND 21Z THURSDAY FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST...USHERING IN 500MB TEMPERATURES OF BETWEEN
-27 AND -30C. AS THIS OCCURS...INSTABILITY GENERATED BY THE COLDER
AIR MOVING OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM COASTAL WATERS WILL RESULT IN
A TRANSITION FROM STRATIFORM RAIN TO NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS...LIKELY ARRIVING IN MULTIPLE ROUNDS BEGINNING EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING AND LASTING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. GIVEN THE COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND INSTABILITY PROJECTIONS OF 500-800 J/KG
ACROSS THE WATERS AND ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST...SMALL HAIL IS
LIKELY WITH THIS ACTIVITY...ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING
STRIKES.
MEANWHILE...SNOW LEVELS WILL QUICKLY DROP THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY...REACHING THEIR LOWEST LEVELS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY AND
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. JUST HOW LOW THESE SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP
IS A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK...AS MODELS TYPICALLY PERFORM POORLY
IN THESE SITUATIONS IN MANY AREAS OF NW CA. IN PARTICULAR...PARTS
OF EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY ALONG 299 AND HIGHWAY 3 TEND TO SEE
LOWER SNOW LEVELS THAN THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS HAS OCCURRED THE
PAST TWO WINTER WEATHER EVENTS WHERE LOCATIONS SUCH AS OREGON
MOUNTAIN AND TRINITY CENTER SAW ACCUMULATING SNOW WHEN MODEL
FORECASTED SNOW LEVELS DID NOT SUGGEST THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR.
AFTER A CLOSE LOOK AT AVAILABLE GUIDANCE AND WITH THIS TENDENCY IN
MIND...OPTED TO ISSUE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR TRINITY
COUNTY TO 2000 FEET...NORTH COAST INTERIOR TO 2500 FEET...AND
INTERIOR MENDOCINO COUNTY TO 3000 FEET...BEGINNING THURSDAY
MORNING AND LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. AS MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY...THE LOWEST SNOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY OCCUR OVERNIGHT
THURSDAY AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...AND DURING THIS TIME FRAME A
QUICK COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE AS LOW AS THE
VALLEY FLOOR IN THE AREAS MENTIONED ABOVE. SNOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY
LIFT A BIT DURING THE AFTERNOON FRIDAY AS TEMPERATURES WARM...BUT
HIGHER PASSES SUCH AS SOUTH FORK ALONG HIGHWAY 36 AND SCOTT
MOUNTAIN ON HIGHWAY 3 WILL STILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SEE CONTINUED
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. IN THE LOWER LYING
AREAS INCLUDED IN THE ADVISORIES...IE 2000 TO 3000 FEET...SNOW
ACCUMULATION WILL LIKELY ONLY BE ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 3 INCHES AS
THE WINDOW OF SUFFICIENTLY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE RELATIVELY
BRIEF. HOWEVER...ABOVE 3500 FEET ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 7 INCHES
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY ROBUST AND
PERSISTENT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY EVEN INTO EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING.
IN ADDITION TO THE WINTER WEATHER CONCERNS...A NON TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF
RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO FALL AT LOWER ELEVATIONS DUE TO THE PERSISTENT
SHOWERS. WHILE RIVERS WILL LIKELY REACH THEIR PEAK FLOWS BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON FOLLOWING THE PRIMARY FRONTAL BAND...PERSISTENT SHOWER
ACTIVITY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A DELAYED RECESSION OF
WATER LEVELS. IN ANY CASE THOUGH...CURRENT PROJECTIONS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE THAT MAIN STEM RIVERS WILL NOT RISE TO MONITOR LEVELS...AND
THAT ANY FLOODING WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED TO THE MINOR URBAN AND
SMALL STREAM VARIETY. BRC
.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
TO THE ONGOING FORECAST. THE ONLY ADJUSTMENT THAT HAS BEEN MADE
WAS TO UP THE POPS SLIGHTLY OVER THE WEEKEND AS MODELS HAVE COME
INTO BETTER AGREEMENT. THIS IS LOOKING LIKE ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT
RAIN PRODUCER. MORE TO COME OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. BFG
&&
.AVIATION...INTERMITTENT LIGHT RAIN AND OCCASIONAL LESS THAN VFR
CIGS/VIS AND LIGHTER WINDS CONTINUED INTO THE AFTERNOON FOLLOWING
THE PASSAGE OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM. AROUND 1 PM...A WEAK TROUGH WITH
A SHALLOW LINE OF RAIN EXTENDING FROM POINT SAINT GEORGE TO
HUMBOLDT BAY...MOVED ACROSS THE COAST CAUSING A VERY BRIEF PERIOD
OF IFR VIS AND RAIN. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF A POTENT FRONT
TONIGHT SHOULD RESULT IN SLIGHT DRYING BEFORE STRONGER SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST WINDS AND RAIN MOVE ACROSS THE COAST. THERE IS A SLIGHT
POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED CONVECTION WITH THIS FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND
EARLY THU MORNING. TA
&&
.MARINE...STRONG GALE FORCE WINDS AND STEEP DANGEROUS WAVES WILL
DOMINATE THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT. AS THE WINDS EASE A LONG
PERIOD WESTERLY SWELL WILL RAPIDLY BUILD. SWELL IS EXPECTED TO
PEAK IN THE 25 TO 30 FT RANGE AT 17 SECONDS THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THEN SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. LONG PERIOD SWELL EASILY
WRAPS AROUND POINTS AND HEADLANDS MAKING NORMALLY SHELTERED
LOCATIONS ROUGH. ANOTHER FRONT WILL CAUSE MORE STEEP SOUTHERLY
SEAS FOR THE WEEKEND.
AT THE COAST A HIGH SURF WARNING IS IN EFFECT DURING THE HIGHEST
SWELL TIME DUE TO SURF REACHING BETWEEN 28 AND 31 FT. HIGHER SETS
ARE POSSIBLE, UP TO 40 FT.
MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REMAIN IN HARBOR UNTIL THIS SWELL HAS
PASSED. BFG
&&
.HYDROLOGY...HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING AND
CONTINUED SHOWER ACTIVITY IN HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES MAY
RESULT IN SOME SMALL STREAM AND URBAN FLOODING. THIS AREAL FLOOD
WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE FOR TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY FOR THIS
AREA. OTHERWISE MAIN STEM RIVERS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH MONITOR
STAGE...THOUGH THE SMITH RIVER WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHED AS THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS FORECAST TO FALL IN THE SMITH RIVER
WATERSHED.
MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE HEAVY
RAINFALL THIS WEEKEND...TARGETED OVER DEL NORTE COUNTY AND
SOUTHERN OREGON. IF THE MODELS ARE CORRECT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER
CHANCE FOR FLOODING RAINS THIS WEEKEND IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

The Eureka (Bunker Hill) radar (KBHX), 53 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 20:26 UTC.
2 coastal flood, 1 high wind, 1 hail. Local standard time, as filed.
A frontal passage brought high winds meeting warning criteria to Crescent City and areas around Humboldt Bay with numerous reports of trees down and power outages. Damage was most widespread from the Arcata Bottoms to Blue Lake.
Pea to quarter sized hail stones were reported by the public due to a thunderstorm. Photo included coins to reference the hail stone size.
Due to a combination of high astronomical tides and high surf, water and debris washed onto some of the area roads. Known roads impacted were Pebble Beach Drive in Crescent City, Highway 101 south of Crescenty City, and Centerville Beach Road near Ferndale.
A combination of high astronomical tides, high surf, and elevated water levels in the Navarro River led to the flooding and closure of a portion of Hwy 128 in Mendocino County.
