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 Sep 10, 4:03 AM PDT, 10 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 4:03 AM PDT, 10 hours 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 403 AM PDT Sun Sep 10 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Mostly dry weather is expected for the next seven days. Some patchy coastal drizzle is forecast Monday morning. Temperatures are forecast to remain near normal today through early next week and then warm above normal mid to late next week. && .DISCUSSION...Coastal low clouds returned during the night and have pushed into many of the North Coast river valleys. Top of the marine layer appeared to be around 2000 to 2500 feet. The low-level inversion has remained weak, so expect stratus to dissipate by midday with ground heating and mixing. A front will approach tonight and disrupt the onshore flow. Model guidance has this weak front pushing onshore the North Coast early Monday morning. Measurable drizzle on the order of a hundredth or two will be possible (10-20%) for coastal areas. Another weak front will follow Monday night and may generate more drizzle and a deeper push of marine air into the river valleys by Tuesday morning. Chance for 0.01 of an inch for areas away from the coast is very minimal, no more than 10%. Northerly winds will increase offshore after the passage of a mid-level shortwave trough later on Tue into Wed. An upper ridge is then forecast to amplify around Thu bringing above normal temperatures to much of the northern interior. Thermal trough is forecast to develop along the North Coast on Thu and will promote an offshore flow, less stratus and some warming for the North Coast. Uncertainty with the duration of the warm up increases going into next weekend. Global models indicate a potential for thunderstorms as an upper low undercuts the ridge with above normal PWATS spreading over the area in SE flow aloft next weekend. This will need to be watched closely. && .AVIATION...CIGS have stabilized at the IFR level early this morning (10Z) with P6SM VSBY. Nighttime satellite imagery reveals significant weakness in stratus continuity. ACV carried CLR sky conditions under a small, highly localized hole in the ceiling, mainly created by light ENE winds. The probability for LIFR CIGS at CEC will reach up to 51% from 13Z to 16Z. A tempo has been included to cover this. Scattering and periods of VFR are anticipated this afternoon, with the best chances at ACV. Influence from a weak front and favorable westerly winds may hold more cloud cover around CEC today, but levels should vary from MVFR to IFR (55%). The approaching weak front will encourage deepening in the marine layer towards the latter end of this 12Z TAF period. Some light drizzle may accompany the front. This setup will yield higher chances for MVFR to IFR cloud levels as the stratus fills back in tonight. UKI is still forecast to remain VFR, though there will be increasing chances for stratus to carry over the higher terrain into the valley from the west with the deepening of the marine layer. && .MARINE...A small, long period southerly swell of 2 to 4 feet from Hurricane Jova will fade into next week. Winds today will be very light in the northern waters, and will continue to be accelerated along an isolated area south of the cape of up to 25 kt this afternoon and evening. Seas will steepen up to 6 ft in this wind prone area. The northerlies will strengthen and expand through the outer waters on Monday, with better coverage of gale strength gusts around the cape. A thermal trough will strengthen Tuesday through Wednesday. The northerlies will be strongest through this period, when areas of gale strength gusts will periodically develop in the southern waters, and to a lesser extent a small portion of the northern outer zone. && .FIRE WEATHER...Northwesterlies will increase peak in the southern half of the forecast area today. Gusty ridgetop winds will be likely into tonight from southern Humboldt county through Mendocino and Lake counties. Locally enhanced fire weather concerns will develop as ridgelines experience poorer overnight recoveries (particularly across Lake and NE Mendocino counties). Wind gusts to around 25 mph will be possible with overnight relative humidity recoveries in the 40s and 50s. Will continue the headlines in the Fire Weather Forecast. A front will move across the area on Tuesday, gusty westerly and northwesterly breezes are forecast to occur again. Humidities will generally remain above 30% where gusts approach or exceed 25 mph, though a portions of interior Mendocino, Trinity and Lake Counties will flirt with criteria for a few hours. A thermal trough will build toward the end of the week bringing hotter temperatures and drier humidities for Del Norte and Humboldt counties, mainly in the interior. Gusty easterly and northeasterly ridge level breezes and poor nighttime recoveries are also anticipated. && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA... None. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
