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 Feb 7, 2:59 PM PST, 11 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 2:59 PM PST, 11 hours 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 259 PM PST Wed Feb 7 2018 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prolong mild and dry weather through the weekend. Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected through Friday with cooler temperatures expected for the weekend. && .DISCUSSION...High pressure continues to dominate the weather across the region with mostly sunny skies. Patchy fog this morning burned off quickly. Decent downslope flow allowed the temperature at CEC to reach 76 degrees earlier this afternoon, which beat the old record by 4 degrees. Otherwise, most coastal temperatures remained in the 60s. More patchy fog is possible over portions of the coastal plain and interior valleys again tonight, but it is expected to be fairly shallow and burn off quickly on Thursday. As N winds increase late in the week, a bit more low clouds and fog are possible from Cape Mendocino to Humboldt Bay, but confidence is low. Dry weather is expected to continue for most of the foreseeable future. The models are still struggling with the strength and positioning of the shortwaves diving S over the W during the weekend and early next week. The first feature is expected to drop S well E of the area over the weekend. The second feature is expected to be stronger and farther to the W as it drops S. The GFS continues to be the strongest and farthest W, and the latest run is even more so. Have introduced isolated showers to the forecast for Sunday night over the N portion of the area, but this forecast remains highly uncertain. /SEC && .AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected to prevail tonight through Thursday. BUFKIT soundings continue to indicate very dry air below 1000 feet tonight but with much less NE to E winds. Brief mist or haze will be possible for terminals near the ocean. Conditions will likely deteriorate Thursday night or Friday as northerlies increase offshore and vertical temperature and dewpoint profiles become favorable for stratus generation at north coast terminals. && .MARINE...Winds and seas have subsided across the area. N winds are expected to increase again by Thursday night, and a Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed for the offshore waters on one of the next forecast package issuances. W swell will continue through the remainder of the week with fresh W swell entering the area by the weekend. /SEC && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...None.
