AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 506 AM PST Sat Jan 18 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak cold front will bring some gusty southerly winds to parts of northwest California today, along with a round of mainly light rainfall. High pressure will allow for dry weather and even some filtered sun on Sunday with milder temperatures. Another cold front will bring rain and high elevation snow by Monday night and Tuesday.

DISCUSSION. Another frontal system will approach the area today, bringing mostly light rain near and N of Cape Mendocino. Rain amounts from this system will average around a third of an inch across Del Norte County with totals closer to an inch on S facing terrain. Snow levels are currently running around 3000 ft with some lower snow levels across far interior zones. Snow levels are expected to rapidly climb through the day and remain high through this precipitation event. Snow accumulations will be light, with perhaps 1 to 2 inches across the highest terrain of Del Norte County. Winds will be gusty out of the SE to S along the Redwood Coast and the N interior terrain, but wind speeds are expected to decrease into the afternoon.

The cold front will weaken as it makes its way toward the area before stalling and eventually retreating. Sunday looks to be mostly dry with a broad ridge and slightly warmer temperatures. Low cloudiness will linger early in the morning, with increasing mid and high cloudiness through the day. However, there may be a period of partly cloudy skies in between, with filtered sun later in the day.

A more significant storm system is forecast to approach the area from the NW late Monday, but most precipitation is expected to hold off until late afternoon or evening. Precipitation will be more widespread, ranging from around 2 inches in the Del Norte mountains to about half an inch over far southern Mendocino County. Snow levels with this system will start out around 5000 ft but will drop below 4000 ft by Tuesday night. As a result, some decent high elevation snow accumulations are expected, with over one foot of snow possible in the highest terrain of N Trinity and E Del Norte counties.

An active but progressive weather pattern will continue to result in frequent bouts of precipitation in the coming week, but there are indications that an upper ridge may develop over the W coast late in the week. /SEC

AVIATION. A front has been approaching overnight, generating gusty S-SE winds at the coastal terminals. Conditions have been VFR through the night except across the interior valleys where fog and low clouds have formed in the lighter wind regime. There will be a potential for low wind shear or low level turbulence at both KCEC and KACV today as winds 1500-2000 ft above ground level reach 30 to 40kt. Meanwhile, fog and low clouds in the interior valleys should dissipate by this afternoon. Otherwise, expecting mostly VFR cloud layers today with periods of MVFR possible in light rain at the coastal terminals.

MARINE. Seas continued to trend downward or hold steady through night at all the nearshore buoys, even though winds were running around 15 to 25 kt. ASCAT pass from Friday evening indicated higher winds near 30 kt farther offshore, with 35kt barbs just north of Pt St George in Oregon waters. We still have a gale warning in effect for the outer waters north of Cape Mendocino today. SSE winds will trend downward this evening as the front dissipates.

Steep seas are forecast to build today as southerlies persist offshore. Steep seas around 10 to 12 feet can be expected in the northern outer waters through this evening. Seas for the inner waters should build as well and satisfy small craft advisory steepness criteria this afternoon.

The main marine hazard, once the winds and wind waves subside, will be a westerly swell that will build to 10 to 12 ft at 15 seconds tonight. Seas will likely remain elevated and hazardous through Sunday before subsiding in advance of the next front. This next frontal system will likely bring another round of robust south winds and steep wind waves on Monday, followed by a large westerly swell on Tuesday. The swell may pose a beach/surf hazard on Tuesday.

BEACH HAZARDS. Large W swell is forecast to build across the waters late Tuesday. As a result, dangerous surf conditions are possible with surf heights over 20 ft. /SEC

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
