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 Dec 6, 2:52 PM PST, 11 hours 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 6, 2:52 PM PST, 11 hours 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
252 PM PST Tue Dec 6 2022
.SYNOPSIS...Clear skies will allow for another frosty night with
more calm, cool weather on tap for Wednesday. Rain and mountain snow
will arrive early Thursday with an even stronger system expected
late Friday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Weak high pressure has allowed for clear skies to
build in throughout NW California. Under sunny skies, most areas
have reached near 50 degrees. High pressure to the east will keep at
least weak offshore wind through the night, allowing for another
clear, cold night. Widespread frost can be expected, even right
along the coast.
A weak low pressure system currently centered in the southern Gulf
of Alaska is expected to strengthen over the next 48 hours and
approach the northern California coast. A weak cold front associated
with this system is expected to kick off rain showers early Thursday
morning. Models broadly agree that rain amounts with this front will
vary between 0.6 and 1.2 inches with the heaviest rain along the the
southeast oriented ridges of the King Range. Modest southerly winds
gusting to 30 mph over high terrain will generate only weak warm air
advection in front of the system, allowing snow levels to stay
relatively low. Although NBM generally places levels around 3000
feet, GFS and NAM both consistently show levels down to 2200 feet in
convective showers. Gradual snowfall of 4 to 8 inches are expected
on highway passes in Trinity County and Eastern Humboldt with little
impactful snowfall elsewhere. A winter weather advisory has been
hoisted for this system above 2500 feet. Snow amounts are too
gradual to justify a warning.
With little respite in precipitation, a stronger system associated
a deep upper level trough will approach the area late Friday. This
system has a much stronger plume of tropical moisture with
precipitable water from the ECMWF ensemble about 1 inch above
average. Similarly, total rain amounts Friday through Saturday are
expected to generally be 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Model ensemble members
have generally agreed on a deeper trough for Friday, pushing
rainfall estimates to the higher end. In front of the system, NBM
4.1 shows and 80% chance of at least isolated wind gusts to 45 mph.
Although isolated, the possibility of a wind advisory will bare
close observation.
Stronger warm air advection will slightly raise snow levels for this
second event closer to 3000 feet, though levels are expected to
gradually fall into the weekend. Heavy snowfall is expected in
Trinity county will accumulation around Scott Mountain Summit up to
20 inches, Lower elevation passes such as Hayfork Pass can expect
closer to a foot of snow. Outside of Trinity county, upper
elevations could expected 5 to 10 inches. Substantial uncertainty
still exists for specific snow amounts, though models seems to be
slowly agreeing on a stronger system. A winter storm watch will
likely be considered over the next 24 hours. All cluster ensemble
members show shortwaves and light rain showers continuing to cross
the area Sunday into next week. /JHW
&&
.AVIATION...Mostly SKC prevailed along the Del Norte and Humboldt Coasts today
as low pressure continued to slide southward. Offshore flow began
influencing local conditions overnight. Winds will become more
Northwest-North through afternoon. As the low moved southward
along the coast, VFR clouds continued to rotate into Lake and
Mendocino counties today. Widespread clearing can be expected
tonight. Patches of valley fog will form overnight with pockets
of fog/stratus developing along some coastal areas. /TA
&&
.MARINE...Winds will continue to diminish across the waters
through this afternoon and seas will remain below 5 feet through
Wednesday. Another frontal system will approaches the area on late
on Wednesday, bringing unsettled weather conditions and increasing
southerly winds by Wednesday evening. Deterministic guidance is
suggesting winds strengthening to near GALE FORCE over the northern
waters early Thursday.
More unsettled weather is expected on Friday as a stronger cold
front approaches the region. Strong to near GALE FORCE sustained
winds will be possible over the waters. NBM currently shows a 80 to
95 percent of widespread wind gusts greater than 34 knots for the
northern waters on Friday night. A larger mid-period NW swell is
expected to build on Friday night and Saturday.
