What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at May 23, 3:08 PM PDT, 12 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 23, 3:08 PM PDT, 12 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
308 PM PDT Thu May 23 2019

.SYNOPSIS...Mild and dry conditions can be expected throughout
the interior today, with cool and breezy conditions along the
coast. Chances for interior showers will gradually increase Friday
through Monday, with isolated thunderstorms possible at times. A
cooling trend is expected over the weekend, with a return to
warmer but near-normal temperatures toward the middle of the week.

&&

.Short Term...A broad upper level low continues to spin over the
Great Basin this afternoon and high pressure is building into the
Pacific Northwest. There is quite a bit of alto cu over the
interior this afternoon, showers are not expected at this point,
but it's hard to rule out an isolated shower.

Tonight some of these clouds may settle in the valleys, otherwise
mainly clear skies are expected. The coast will likely see
stratus as well. There is expected to be too much moisture around
to see frost over the interior tonight. The winds along the
coast will diminish tonight.

Friday high pressure is pushed back to the west and an upper
level low moves down from the north. This could bring a few clouds
and showers to the interior areas Friday afternoon. Thunderstorms
are possible over the interior as well, however confidence is low
on this. Winds will increase along the coast once again in the
afternoon, although they are not expected to be quite as strong as
today. MKK

.Long Term...Saturday will begin a modest but perceptible cooling
trend, with perhaps another round of isolated mountain showers
possible in the afternoon. During the evening and overnight
Saturday, a more potent and fast-moving cutoff low pressure
system will quickly pass through the area from north to south,
likely bringing more widespread shower activity to the region and
in particular to the interior mountains. While this system will
hastily exit the region to the southeast, lingering moisture and
instability may result in another round of mountain showers Monday
afternoon as well.

A modest warming trend is expected to begin Tuesday through at
least mid week as the previously mentioned system drifts farther
away and heights increase. Still, this warming trend will be far
from a heatwave, as long term ensemble mean temperature anomalies
remain within one standard deviation of normal through the end of
the weak. Meanwhile, the upper flow pattern will remain unsettled
enough that additional episodes of interior mountain showers and
even perhaps a few weak cold fronts cant be ruled out through the
end of next week. /BRC

&&

.AVIATION...Strong winds were the main aviation distraction
today. This was due to a tight pressure gradient along the Redwood
Coast allowing for robust winds to manifest...particularly north
of Cape Mendocino. Winds have been more pronounced at CEC since
yesterday and never decoupled overnight. EKA-FOT became fairly
gusty by late morning. Plenty of SKC today except cloudy
conditions over Humboldt's coast. ACV reported MVFR overnight and
late morning...with a few IFR moments. Interior areas remained VFR
although plenty of altocumulus 080-100 feet advected across he
inland mountains... including SCT- BKN mid clouds at UKI today.
Low clouds Cigs and reduced Vis expected to impact the North Coast
again overnight...especially at ACV. Although models are not in
the best agreement, expect some measure of low clouds to move over
CEC overnight also.

&&

.MARINE...Gale force northerly winds and large steep seas will
continue today through this evening. Peak wind gusts around 40 kts
are forecast through this evening. Steep seas from 13 to 15 ft
are expected for the southern waters, while seas north of Cape
Mendo are forecast to be around 10 to 12 ft. Winds and seas will
ease on Friday, however wind from 15 to 25 kt and seas around 9 ft
north of Cape Mendo and around 11 ft south will warrant more
advisories for small craft. Granted near shore winds will be
light, ranging from calm to 10 kt. This break in strong
northerlies will be short-lived. Expect winds to ramp up quickly
Friday night and remain near gale, gusts to 35 kt and 40 kt,
through Sat evening. Steep seas this weekend will also rebuild and
be very similar to today, with wave heights from 13 to 15 ft
south of Cape Mendo and 10 to 12 ft north. Seas will take the
better part of Sunday to quite down and at this point do not
expect any significant improvement in ocean conditions until
Monday and Tuesday of next week.
