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 Mar 22, 3:47 PM PDT, 5 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 22, 3:47 PM PDT, 5 hours 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
347 PM PDT Wed Mar 22 2023

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will move across the area on Thursday
bringing more beneficial rain and mountain snow. Snow levels will
plummet behind the cold front by Thursday evening with some snow
accumulation down to about 2000 feet. Unseasonably cold temperatures
and a chance for light rain and snow showers will persist Friday
through Sunday before a potentially stronger storm impacts the
area with more rain and mountain snow early to mid next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A cold front will move across the area on Thursday
bringing more beneficial rain and mountain snow. The moisture
with this front is limited and snow amounts are forecast to barely
reach advisory level for the mountain passes above 2000 feet. The
highest potential for snow accumulations from 3 to 4 inches will
be in Del Norte County above 2000 feet. Snow levels may be too
high initially when the heaviest amounts of precipitation arrive.
Little or no snow accumulations are expected down to 2000 feet
during the brunt of the heaviest rates. Snow levels will plummet
Thursday evening, however the precipitation intensity and coverage
will diminish. Due to the low snow levels and potential impacts
on routes 199 at Collier Tunnel and 299 at Berry Summit, we
hoisted a winter weather advisory for elevations above 2000 feet.
Roads may be too warm for the snow to stick during the day due to
the higher March sun angle. Moist northwesterly flow will likely
yield light and spotty rain and mountain snow showers Friday
through Saturday, mostly north of Cape Mendocino. The air mass
will be quite chilly for latter March, though not exceptionally
dry. We hoisted the first freeze watch for interior Mendocino and
Lake Counties for Friday morning. Multiple freeze and frost
advisories are expected through the weekend. Sunday appears to be
the coldest day and a hard freeze will be possible for interior
Mendocino and Lake Counties. Coastal areas could also have
freezing temperatures as well.

Probabilities for 1 to 2 inches of precipitation in 24 hours increases
Monday and Tuesday next week. GFS and ECMWF deterministic models
continue to indicate large differences in the location and
progression of a 500mb cold core. Ensemble clusters reflect
deterministic model differences with about 50% of them supporting
a 500mb pattern that would yield greater amounts of widespread
rain (locally heavy) and mountain snow for NW California. Blended
ensemble guidance continues to show quite the range of snow
amounts for elevations between 2500 to 3500 feet; few inches
to near one foot. There is still a great deal of variability and
uncertainty and a lot of details still has to be ironed out. The
storm could remain offshore and head southward similar to the last
one or it will follow a more northward track and head right toward
the NW California coast. Right now the hydro concerns are low for
NW California, though ensemble plumes indicate a very low chances
(8-12%) for exceedance on the Russian river at Hopland and Navarro
river at Navarro. This next storm will likely pack more wind as
well. Blend guidance and raw ensemble guidance probabilities for
gust to 40-50 mph increase on Monday or Monday night. Stay tuned
for more updates on this abnormally wet, stormy and cold March.

.AVIATION...18z TAFs..Mid to high clouds are wrapping in around a
low pressure center that is departing to the SE. Light onshore
flow is driving in some shallower marine stratus ahead of an
approaching shortwave. The shortwave will generate light drizzle
to light rain this afternoon through tonight. Ceilings will lower
more solidly to MVFR with bouts of IFR in the continued moist,
onshore flow. Southerly winds and widespread rainfall will begin
developing around the end of this 18Z TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...Northerlies ease through tonight, followed by a
brief period of southerlies Thursday morning before more low-end
advisory-level NW winds around 10 to 20 kts sweep through Thursday
afternoon and persist through this weekend. A NW swell will build in
on Friday to the low to mid teens. Southerlies possibly return early
next week as another large low and associated front approaches.
