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 Apr 2, 2:15 PM PDT, 12 hours 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 2:15 PM PDT, 12 hours 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
215 PM PDT Sat Apr 2 2022

.SYNOPSIS...Mild breezy Saturday afternoon conditions will
transition to locally frosty overnight conditions across interior
valleys. Cloudiness will be on the increase during Sunday as a
storm system strengthens over the Northeastern Pacific. That storm
will yield beneficial rainfall across Northwest California during
Monday. Drier conditions are then expected Tuesday, followed by
very warm interior valley temperatures Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A tight coastal surface pressure gradient was aiding
in another afternoon of northwesterly winds gusting from 20 to 30
mph along much of the coast. That gradient is forecast to relax
this evening. The boundary layer will subsequently decouple and
aid in patches of valley frost and fog development. Gusty west-
northwest winds will then be probable once again during Sunday. In
addition, mid and high level cloudiness will steadily increase as
an upper trough moves east across the NERN PAC. An associated
frontal boundary is forecast to impact NWRN CA late Sunday night
into early Monday morning. That feature will aid in the
development of stratiform rainfall across Del Norte and Humboldt
Counties. Light rain will persist in the wake of the front due to
moist onshore/upslope westerlies...and, light rain will also
spread east and south into portions of Trinity, Mendocino, and
perhaps Lake County during the remainder of Monday morning into
the afternoon. The highest probability (around 60-70 percent) of
0.5 to 1.0 inch of rainfall will exist over Del Norte County. Up
to a half inch will be probable in the vicinity of Humboldt Bay,
while a tenth of an inch or less is expected south of Cape
Mendocino and east of Humboldt County.

Upper heights are forecast to rise Monday night into Tuesday, and
that process will aid in precipitation dissipation. Robust and
anomalous upper ridging is then forecast to occur over the West
Coast Wednesday and Thursday. Interior valley temperatures across
Trinity, Lake, and Mendocino Counties will respond to the ridging
pattern by increasing into the 80s. In addition, there is a
roughly 60 percent chance that high temperatures at Ukiah will
reach or exceed 90 degrees Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.
Otherwise, the upper ridge is forecast to shift east of the region
next Friday and Saturday. It is uncertain whether that pattern
change will yield a return to wetter weather, but one signal that
is emerging is the potential for 30 to 40 mph northerly wind gusts
as high pressure builds eastward across Oregon and the Northern
Great Basin.

&&

.AVIATION...Clear skies remain on place across the area this
afternoon with breezy winds along the coast and over the coastal
ridges. Tonight these will diminish and some southerly return flow
may develop along the coast. The HREF probabilities are showing a
stratus returning and bringing a decent chance for MVFR to IFR
conditions. The better chances are around Humboldt Bay, however
the mos guidance shows southerly winds developing and if it does
form, this could push it north into KCEC. Sunday an approaching
weather system will start to turn winds westerly in the afternoon
at the coast and eventually become southerly and spread across the
rest of the area Sunday night. MKK

&&

.MARINE...Fresh to strong northerly breezes are continuing across
the waters this afternoon with some gale force gusts likely just
south of Cape Mendocino. In addition to the steep waves of 6 to 9
feet associated with these winds a 15 seconds swell has built to
around 4 feet and will continue to build to around 5 to 6 late
tonight. Tonight these winds will start to diminish in the
northern waters and finally diminish in the southern waters by
Sunday evening.

Sunday night into Monday morning a frontal boundary will approach
the area and bring a period of moderate southerly winds to the
area. These will be short lived as the front moves quickly through
Monday morning and winds shift around to the west and eventually
the north Monday night. Northerly winds will increase on Tuesday
once again to around 15 to 25 kt. In addition to the winds, a
large swell is expected to move into the waters late Monday night
or Tuesday morning. The GFS and ECMWF wave models are both showing
14 to 16 foot waves at 16 seconds. Models have remained fairly
consistent from last nights run so have kept the forecast the
same. This may bring some breaking waves close to 20 feet. This
swell is then expected to diminish to 6 to 8 feet and continue to
drop through week.

Wednesday and Thursday there are some indications that a weak
system may weaken the winds slightly, but there isn't much
consistency in the timing on this. Friday and Saturday the
operational models are showing gales with the potential for strong
gales. The GFS has a period of sustained winds to 44 KT. This is
likely overdone, however the ensembles are also indicating the
potential for strong winds over the waters. This makes it likely
we will see strong winds, although the exact speeds are uncertain.
