AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA 447 AM PDT TUE JUN 21 2011 .SYNOPSIS...WARMING WILL CONTINUE TODAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR AS A RIDGE MOVES OVER THE REGION. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL DECREASE ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND A DEEPER MARINE LAYER DEVELOPS. && .DISCUSSION...EARLY MORNING SATELLITE PICTURES AND SURFACE OBS INDICATED STRATUS OVER THE NORTH COAST AND EEL DELTA...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS EXTENSIVE AS LAST NIGHT AT THIS TIME. RAWS OBS OVER THE RIDGE TOPS INDICATED SLIGHTLY STRONGER OFFSHORE WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING,,,SO THE STRATUS SHOULD DISSIPATE MORE RAPIDLY TODAY.
