What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jan 3, 5:09 AM PST, 7 hours 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 5:09 AM PST, 7 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
509 AM PST Tue Jan 3 2023

.SYNOPSIS...Cloudy skies and light rain by this afternoon. The
next round of wet wintry weather will arrive Wednesday afternoon
with the arrival of another atmospheric river. Expect rain, high
winds, and flooding mid week and into the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Light precipitation expected by the afternoon with
mostly overcast skies and warmer humid air. This will bring snow
levels up after recent cold air advection. Snow accumulation will
be isolated to higher elevations and will also be light today.
The next evolution of weather will not be so light and easy. An
intensifying cyclonic system is inbound and will usher in a
considerable storm by Wednesday morning. Models consistently show
the track of the cyclone focusing a moderate to strong atmospheric
river over northwest California. Similar to the last system,
strong southeast flow around the cyclone will focus most of the
rain in the southern half of the area, especially on ridgetops. 24
hour rainfall estimates put 3 to 4 inches of rain in and south of
the King Range and Yolla Bollys. Areas further north will be
strongly rain shadowed by the offshore flow. Areas such as
Humboldt Bay can expect lower amounts around 1 to 2 inches. While
the pulse of moisture is slightly weaker than last week, ECMWF EFI
still highlights the area with a QPF value of 0.9. Snow levels
above 4000 feet will limit any snow concerns to the highest peaks
of Trinity County.

ECMWF EFI currently shows a very high value of 0.97 for wind
gusts. This is a very strong signal of high wind potential. NBM 4.1
shows an 90% chance of gusts exceeding 55 mph on the ridges of
Humboldt County with a 35% chance of similar winds around Humboldt
Bay. This system could bring the strongest winds so far this winter
to much of the area, especially Mendocino County. A High Wind Watch
has been issued all along the coast. NBM continues to show 15 to 30%
chance of thunderstorms behind the system late Wednesday into
Thursday. High resolution model soundings today back up these
probabilities with instability in excess of 300 J/Kg and CAPE
profiles extending above -10 C.

Towards the weekend, ensembles show low pressure lingering over
the eastern pacific pulling a series of weak to moderate bands
of moisture over the area. Current model guidance shows a
relatively even spread of rain throughout the area with lower
elevations expecting another 1 to 3 inches of rain with 3 to 5
inches at high elevations. Pulses of cold air could lower snow
levels below 4000 feet at times, brining some possible winter
weather concerns along highway 3 late in the week. Models are
hinting at another stronger cyclone early next week. /JHW /EYS

&&

.AVIATION...Mostly VFR conditions prevail with winds easing to a
light breeze and bearing easterly. Winds will turn southerly
again by the afternoon at the coastal terminals with VFR
conditions continuing through the TAF period. A frontal passage
will bring rain by the afternoon with southerly winds which will
remain under 10 kts. Overcast skies and 5000 foot ceilings are
expected into the evening with rain easing late tonight. KUKI will
see light southerly winds and MVFR/VFR conditions with rain
starting Wednesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...A weak front will pass east across the waters during
Tuesday, and that will be followed by the development of a strong
Pacific cyclone during Wednesday. Storm force south-southeast winds
are anticipated across the coastal waters of Northwest California
from late Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening. In addition,
a significant westerly swell, with wave heights ranging from 20 to
30 feet, is forecast to build across the waters during Thursday.
After Thursday, additional periods of stormy weather will occur
during late week.
