Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Eureka CA
451 AM PDT THU JUN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure aloft will prolong hot and dry weather
over the next several days. Interior temperatures will range from
near to above normal values for this time of year. Coastal
temperatures will remain more seasonal with morning cloudiness and
afternoon clearing.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Little changes in the weather pattern means conditions
today should be similar to yesterday with hot temperatures across
the interior and coastal cloudiness scattering away into the
afternoon. Some interior valleys should again reach temperatures in
the triple digits as strong high pressure remains stubbornly
stationed overhead. Coastal temperatures, on the other hand, will
remain more seasonal. A weak wave in the upper flow should ignite
some cumulus clouds over inland mountains today with a slight
possibility for an isolated shower and a rumble of thunder.
Sufficient CAPE and negative LI's will be conducive for convective
development with mid level lapse rates actually looking pretty
decent. That said, the forcing will be weak and overall confidence
in thunderstorms is low so slight chances will suffice for this
afternoon.

The Global 5-wave model suggests that the upper flow will become
more zonal this weekend as a trough juts downward from the Gulf of
Alaska and dives over the NE Pacific Ocean by next week.
Meaning...daytime temperatures will gradually fall to near normal
values starting this weekend into next week. Sometimes under this
pattern we can see monsoonal moisture directed into south/central
California but it is too early to tell if this will have any
significant impacts on northern California. Overall expect warm
and dry weather to continue into next week with coastal cloudiness
scattering each afternoon. /KML

&&

.AVIATION...Low clouds have re-formed along the Redwood coast from
near Crescent City to Cape Mendocino. Clouds appear to be rather
thick around KACV where overcast conditions have been reported
through the night and ceiling heights have lowered from around 1500
ft in the early evening to 600 ft at this writing. Ceilings at KCEC
have been more problematic as they are on the N edge of the cloud
bank and are likely experiencing some downsloping above the surface.
Conditions are expected to improve at both these airports...first at
KCEC (which will fluctuate between scattered and broken), then at
KACV as diurnal mixing increases. VFR conditions are expected to
persist at KUKI. Winds will be light inland, but gusts to 15 knots
are expected during the afternoon at KACV and up to 25 knots at
KCEC. /SEC

&&

.MARINE...A high pressure ridge over the E Pacific will shift very
slowly westward over the next few days. As a result, the pressure
gradient between it and an inland thermal trough will gradually
relax. However, in the short term, northerly gales will continue
over the offshore waters with occasional gale force gusts over the
near shore waters. Winds near and downwind from points and capes
will likely be a bit higher...perhaps near sustained gale force.
This will be particularly true in the evenings thru the early
overnight when the gradient wind is typically at its strongest.
Headlines have remained unchanged, with a gale warning for the
offshore waters through Saturday evening. A small craft advisory
will continue for the near shore waters through late tonight N of
Cape Mendocino and through Saturday evening south of the cape. A
hazardous seas warning will continue S of the cape through mid-
morning. The oncoming shift will need to evaluate this for a
possible time extension. The hazardous seas warning for the N near
shore waters continues through late tonight. Winds will continue to
gradually subside through the period, but small craft advisories
may be needed offshore well into the coming week. /SEC
