What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Eureka, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Dec 12, 4:02 AM PST, 4 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 12, 4:02 AM PST, 4 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 402 AM PST Tue Dec 12 2017 .SYNOPSIS...Mainly dry conditions, accompanied by mild afternoons and cool nights, will persist during the next 7 days. && .DISCUSSION...High pressure remains in place over the west coast this morning, although it has shift slightly east today. An upper level low that brought some southerly winds has moved into British Columbia this morning. This brought some smoke to the area from the southern CA fires. This may last today and tonight, but by Wednesday flow turns more northerly and will push the smoke to the south of the area. Temperatures aloft will continue to warm slightly over the next several days. The ridges will remain warm, for example Kneeland is in the upper 50s to low 60s overnight. The valleys will remain chilly at night with a strong inversion setting up and near freezing to freezing temperatures in some areas. Areas of fog and low clods are possible in some valleys. These areas will be much slower to warm up in the afternoon. Thursday 850 MB temperatures are expected to peak around 16C. This should help most areas warm above normal in the afternoon. Cloudy areas, or shaded areas may see significantly cooler temperatures. Thursday night into Friday morning a weak weather system moves through the area. Current models runs keep most of the rain to the north of the area, but clouds and cooler temperatures are expected with this system. Over the weekend the weather continues to look mainly dry, but there is a weak warm front that pushes into Oregon. Some light rain is possible with this system, but in generally clouds will be the main impact. Next week high pressure builds back in the area. MKK && .AVIATION...Smoke aloft from S CA fires will continue to affect the area thru much of the day. Although winds in the lower levels will begin to gradually increase out of the N later today, winds in the mid levels (where the smoke is) will be slower to increase. As a result, there is the potential for this smoke layer to persist into midday Wednesday (although confidence is low). Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to continue with generally light winds. /SEC && .MARINE...Generally quiet weather will continue into this evening. N winds will gradually increase thereafter as a thermal trough develops along the CA coast. Strong high pressure will build N of the area by late in the week, with further increases in the N winds. A Small Craft Advisory may be needed by late Wednesday or Wednesday night for at least the outer waters. W swell with a 13 second period will gradually decay today and tonight. Fresh NW swell will arrive on Wednesday with initial periods of 17 to 19 seconds. /SEC && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 206 PM PST Mon Dec 11 2017/ SYNOPSIS...Mainly dry conditions, accompanied by mild afternoons and cool nights, will persist during the next 7 days. DISCUSSION...A compact upper low positioned offshore from WA was in the process of moving north along the west side of a WRN CONUS ridge Monday afternoon. An increase in midlevel southerlies associated with the wave was aiding in transporting smoke produced by wildfires in SRN CA northward across the Redwood Coast. However, model guidance during the next 24 hours shows midlevel flow becoming northerly over the CNTRL/SRN CA coast, which will allow smoke to clear the region during Tuesday into Wednesday. Otherwise, high level cirrus is forecast to increase during midweek, resulting in a decrease in nocturnal surface radiational cooling and cold air drainage into area valleys. Thus, overnight lows are expected to gradually moderate. By Friday, model guidance shows the ridge over the west coast breaking down as a weak upper impulse moves west across the region. This process will allow an increase in westerly moisture flux to develop over the OR/WA coast during the weekend into early next week, the brunt of which is forecast to be too far north to yield significant rain probabilities over NWRN CA. AVIATION...A persistent strong ridge will continue to result in VFR conditions at all terminals. Some smoke aloft and high clouds have been noted at both ACV and UKI today due to the fires down south. Some interior river valleys will also see patchy fog again tomorrow morning however it will clear by late morning. /WCI MARINE...Quiet marine weather pattern will continue through Tuesday. A strong high pressure remains over western North America, while the main storm track remains offshore. By middle of the week, a thermal trough is forecasted to develop along the CA coast, and this will enhance the northerly pressure gradient over NW CA waters at that time. A strong high will build north of NW CA water by the end of the work week, and this will further tighten the northerly pressure gradient in the area. Light and variable winds in NW CA coastal waters through Tuesday. North winds will start to increase on Tuesday night to around 10 to 20 kt. North winds will further increase on Friday to 15 to 25 kt, before diminishing through the weekend. Through Tuesday, we will just be seeing decaying west swell, giving us a combined seas of around 5 to 7 feet. On Tuesday night, looks like we will have a fresh NW swell coming in, with a developing short period wind wave. Combined seas will be around 7 to 9 feet. The short period wind wave will increase later this week as the northerly winds strengthen. There is a slight potential for sneaker wave late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening. However, there is some forecast uncertainty with this. The long period swell is marginal in terms of its energy. The wave period will be decreasing, from 18 to 15 seconds. Meanwhile, the wave magnitude will increase from 1 to 5 feet. In addition, the short period wind wave may erode the energy provided by the long period swell. The short period wave is forecasted to be around 3 to 6 feet. The higher the magnitude of the wind wave, the less likely the threat for sneaker wave. Due to these conflicting indicators, confidence is low in determining the potential for sneaker wave, but the threat does exist at this time. There is no marine hazards in effect at this time. /RCL && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None.
