AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
300 PM PDT Wed Jul 19 2023
.SYNOPSIS...Hot interior temperatures will continue through
Saturday, with the hottest temperatures expected on Friday.
Temperatures will then gradually cool through early next week, but
interior temperatures will remain near to above normal through
the rest of the period. Temperatures along the coast will remain
near normal. No rain is forecast to occur during the next seven
days.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Coastal stratus has been slow to clear out in many
areas today, but most areas are seeing at least some peaks of sun
this afternoon. However, clouds are more stubborn across the Eel
River Delta and along the S Mendocino coast. Across the interior,
sunny skies prevail. Temperatures this afternoon range from some
lingering 50s in cloudier coastal areas to the lower to mid 90s
across portions of the interior.
A large upper low continues over the Gulf of Alaska with a
trailing week trough extending S to the North Coast. A sprawling
upper ridge persists across the S from N Mexico to the S MS
Valley. Through the end of the week, the upper low will slowly
sink S over the E Pacific. However, the S ridge will also nose
farther to the N over the Desert SW and 4 Corners area. This
pattern will allow temperatures to warm across the interior, with
the hottest temperatures in our area expected over Lake and
extreme E Mendocino counties. The hottest day is expected to be
on Friday. Have hoisted a Heat Advisory for Lake County from
midday Friday through late Saturday evening. The Saturday portion
of the advisory is a bit more marginal. Temperatures will start a
slow decline beginning Saturday, the interior temperatures closer
to normal by the early to middle portion of next week.
Along the coast, stratus will continue through most of the period,
although at least partial clearing is expected in many locales
each day. Patchy drizzle is possible tonight from Cape Mendocino N
to Humboldt Bay. Local tools suggest that this will continue to be
possibility most nights and mornings into the weekend. Mostly
trace amounts of rainfall are expected, with locally a hundredth
or two.
Have continued to populate HRRR smoke guidance to account for
visibility reductions from the Flat Fire in SW OR. The smoke is
forecast to expand and shift a bit eastward on Thursday. /SEC
&&
.AVIATION...Apart from any brief periods of scattering, ceiling
heights will range in the IFR to MVFR level this afternoon. The
stratus will swiftly fill back in overnight. Ceiling heights will
lower to IFR overnight, with movement into LIFR levels, particularly
through the early morning hours. High pressure is building back in,
and there will be brief opportunity for periods low visibility
Thursday morning. UKI will remain dry and VFR with generally light
NW to N afternoon wind.
&&
.MARINE...Northerly winds are generally on a weakening trend through
much of Thursday. Thursday winds look to be the lightest of any day
this week. The northern waters will see winds of 15 to 20 kt in the
outer waters with 5 to 10 kt in the inner waters. The southern
waters will see winds of 15 to 25 kt with a few gusts to gale force
just downwind of Cape Mendocino. Short period seas will lower to 3
to 5 in the northern zones, and 6 to 8 ft in the southern zone on
Thursday. The northerlies will begin restrengthening Thursday night.
By Friday, the southern waters will see winds of 20 to 25 kt with
gusts to gale force just downwind of Cape Mendocino. Areas of
southerly wind reversal will develop overnights along the immediate
coast north of Trinidad.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...Interior winds are forecast to remain fairly
light, but W to NW up-valley winds may become gusty through
channeled terrain and exposed ridges each afternoon this week.
This will also be accompanied by increasing temperatures through
Friday. The driest air and poorest nighttime recoveries are
expected across E portions of fire wx zones 264 and 277. Have
continued near-critical headlines in both these zones. Dry
weather will continue through the weekend, but with a gradual
cooling trend. /ZVS&SEC
