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 Mar 8, 4:02 PM PDT, 10 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 4:02 PM PDT, 10 hours 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 402 PM PDT Sun Mar 8 2020 .SYNOPSIS...Cloudy and cool conditions are expected today and Monday, with light showers across the mountains of Trinity and northeast Mendocino counties each afternoon. Warmer, drier and sunnier conditions are expected Tuesday through Friday, with cooler and showery conditions over the weekend. && .DISCUSSION...While there has been very little, if any precipitation thus far throughout northwest California today, mid level moisture is streaming into the area from the southeast as a large low pressure system inches toward the California coastline. This is made evident by the increase in mid and high level cloud cover throughout the area, in addition to a persistent cumulus field across Trinity County driven by moist upslope flow over the Klamath Mountains. While the increasing mid and high level clouds will limit afternoon heating and likewise limit instability, scattered weak showers will likely develop across mainly Trinity County over the next few hours, perhaps lasting into the overnight hours. Precipitation totals will be light, and while a strike of lightning or two can't be completely ruled out, thunderstorms are not likely. Overnight tonight, temperatures are likely to be slightly warmer than they were the previous night thanks to the proliferation of cloud cover, which will also likely limit the formation of frost. Conditions Monday will be very similar to Sunday, albeit perhaps 5 to 8 degrees warmer. Weak afternoon showers will once again be possible across Trinity and northeast Mendocino County. By Tuesday the previously mentioned low pressure system will finally begin to move onshore, but this will primarily only impact Central and Southern California, along with the southern Sierras. Farther north, high pressure will actually begin to build on Tuesday, putting an end to mountain showers and beginning a sharp warming trend. Afternoon high temperatures Tuesday through Friday are expected to climb well into the 70s across inland areas, with decreasing clouds and no precipitation expected. The next opportunity for rain will come on Friday night or Saturday, as the first in a series of cold storm systems is expected to arrive from the north. Unfortunately while it may bring some modest rainfall, this system is not likely to bring the kind of prolonged, soaking rain that would make a significant impact on the region, and a second similar system later in the weekend likely won't either. Instead, expect sporadic rain and mountain snow, along with a marked cooling trend. /BRC && .AVIATION...Afternoon satellite imagery shows high clouds streaming across the area as cumulus cloud continue to build over the interior. Upslope flow will continue to produce lower clouds across portions of Trinity County through most of the TAF period. That being said, mostly VFR conditions are expected to prevail across Northwest California through tonight. A disturbance will approach from the northwest tonight and will likely lower ceilings across the area. Isolated showers/drizzle will continue to be possible through Monday across portions of the interior, especially in the higher elevations. && .MARINE...East to southeasterly winds will continue through late tonight over the waters as a low pressure system continues to churn off the south-central California coast. This system will slowly meander southward tonight as high pressure builds over the East Pacific, resulting in northerlies redeveloping early tomorrow morning over the coastal waters. Winds will then begin to increase late tomorrow, with winds strengthening to moderate to strong northerlies by early on Tuesday over the outer waters. Conditions over the nearshore waters are expected to be less pronounced than over the outer waters. Winds are forecast to remain around the same strength through Thursday morning, with some Gales possibly developing over the northern outer waters Thursday afternoon. Winds are then expected to weaken throughout the day on Friday. A northwest swell will continue to diminish through Tuesday as another northwest swell is set to move through the waters starting late tomorrow. Steep, short-period seas will develop early next week in response to the increasing northerlies. In addition, a southwest swell at 1 to 3 feet around 15 seconds is forecast to also move through portions of the waters from late today through around the middle of the upcoming work week. && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
