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 Jan 31, 2:53 PM PST, 11 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 31, 2:53 PM PST, 11 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
253 PM PST Tue Jan 31 2023
.SYNOPSIS...Cold conditions will moderate mid to late week. A
couple of fronts will bring gusty south winds and beneficial
rainfall Thursday and again this weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Ridge aloft and light offshore winds will ensure
dry and stable weather through mid week. Warming aloft and high
level cloud cover will result in continued moderation of cold
temperatures tonight. Dew points remain low (16-30F) and with
light winds, overnight temperatures will probably dip into the
lower to mid 30's for coastal areas and mid to upper 20s for the
interior valleys. Frost will be possible. High level clouds will
counter the longwave cooling, however. Southeasterly winds will
increase Wednesday night and mild temperatures are probable by
early Thursday morning as clouds thicken in the warm air advection
and broad ascent ahead of a surface cold front.
A 40-70 kt low-level (near 925mb) southerly jet max will develop
ahead and along this front on Thursday. Winds this strong 1500
to 2000 feet above mean sea level will likely yield wind gust
around 50-60 mph over the exposed ridges and gusts to 35-50 mph
for coastal plain and headlands. Multi-model ensemble probabilities
for gusts around 45 mph or more have been increasing to 40% or
more for the Humboldt Bay area. A wind advisory will most likely
be necessary for the higher elevations of Humboldt and possible
northern Mendocino Counties. For now we will beef up the messaging
via a weather story graphic and social media posts.
Expect this front to bring beneficial rain and high mountain snow
Thursday night. Travel impacts will be possible at Scott Mountain
Summit on HWY 3 Thursday night with 2-3 inches of snow in 12 hours.
Over 1 inch of rain is forecast for the King Range and SW Humboldt
County at places like Honeydew. Otherwise, 24 hours amounts are
forecast to be under 0.25in to 0.50in.
Midlevel shortwave ridging will generally promote a drying Friday
afternoon through Saturday morning. This will be followed by
another storm that will generate more gusty south winds and
beneficial rain.
Ensemble clusters indicate progressive flow pattern with ridging
and drying building in the wake of this second shortwave trough
Sunday night and Monday. There is still some variance with the
timing and some showers may linger Sunday night into Monday.
&&
.AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected throughout the area over the
next 24 hours. An approaching low pressure system is streaming high
clouds over the area, leading to scattered clouds around 20 thousand
feet. At worst, light onshore wind may contribute to some coastal
haze along shore, but nothing below marginal MVFR is expected. /JHW
&&
.MARINE...Calm winds are expected over the next 24 hours with a long
period swell around 6 feet currently dominating the sea state. As
low pressure approaches the coast, south winds will gradually
increase into the weekend. Gale force gusts are expected through all
waters by Thursday morning with storm force gusts possible int he
northern out waters. Timing and strength, however, have continue to
shift later in the most recent model runs, so have kept watches for
now. Wind waves up to 12 feet are expected to build alongside the
wind. As winds start to calm Friday into the weekend, a westerly
swell of 12 feet around 13 seconds is expected to build in, possibly
requiring a continuation of hazardous seas warnings. /JHW
&&
.BEACH HAZARDS...Sneaker waves have been observed throughout the day
with modest set behavior. This has resulted in surf height differences
around 8 feet. Sneaker waves are expected to continue and slowly
diminish this evening as the long period swell peaks. /JHW
