AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
351 PM PDT Sun Jul 7 2019

.SYNOPSIS...Warm conditions will persist for the foreseeable
future, with temperatures near seasonal averages. Some very light
precipitation will be possible in Del Norte and northern Humboldt
counties late in the day Tuesday, but otherwise no meaningful rain
is anticipated for the next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Due to the persistent presence of a broad upper
level trough across the West Coast and also a relatively deep
marine layer, temperatures throughout northwest California remain
relatively subdued and very near seasonal averages for early July,
if not slightly cooler. While a few of the warmest valley
locations like Weaverville and Ukiah may top out around 90 today,
most other interior areas will likely not climb out of the 80s and
maybe not even the 70s in parts of interior Humboldt and Del Norte
counties. This is generally expected to continue through mid week,
with perhaps even slightly cooler temperatures Tuesday and
Wednesday as cloud cover increases ahead of a weak frontal system.
While this system may help to erode the marine layer somewhat
Tuesday and Wednesday, this front will bring plenty of cloud cover
to replace the marine layer stratus.

Meanwhile, while thunderstorms have once again developed across
Lassen County this afternoon, only scattered cumulus clouds have
developed locally and precipitation is not expected through at
least early Tuesday. However, a passing weak warm front may bring
some light, drizzly precipitation to parts of Del Norte and
Humboldt counties late in the day Tuesday. Otherwise, dry
conditions are expected for the foreseeable future.

After the aforementioned warm front passes through the region
Wednesday, a broad upper level trough will stall off the coast of
the Pacific Northwest for several days. While interior temperatures
may increase slightly over the latter half of the week, the
presence of this trough will likely prevent temperatures from
rising much more than a few degrees above seasonal averages.

&&

.AVIATION...Just like yesterday, the early morning coastal
stratus has burned off this afternoon with only a few patches
remaining off the Del Norte Coast. VFR conditions and N to NW
winds will prevail area wide this afternoon and early evening.
Expect coastal stratus to return late this evening with similar
location and timing as last night. The marine layer appears a bit
shallower this afternoon so would expect slightly lower ceilings
than what were experienced last night. IFR to MVFR ceilings and
visibilities will persist for coastal locations through tomorrow
morning. Interior locations will remain VFR through this TAF
cycle. /WCI

&&

.MARINE...Moderate to fresh northerlies will continue to support
Small Craft Advisory conditions across the coastal waters through
late tonight, possibly lingering a bit longer into Monday morning
across the southern outer zone. Winds and seas will then quickly
trend downward during the day on Monday as high pressure offshore
migrates toward the coast. This will usher in a period of
relatively light and variable winds and calm seas which looks to
last for much of the upcoming work week. Diminishing short period
seas will leave a modest SW swell of about 3-4 ft at 17-18 seconds
as the primary wave group for the beginning of the week,
resulting in combined seas at or below 5 feet through at least
Thursday. Stronger northerlies look to return towards the end of
the week with the approach of another trough. /CB

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...None.
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...Small Craft Advisory until 5 AM PDT Monday for PZZ455-470-475.
