Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 2:46 PM PDT, 12 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
246 PM 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 in the coming
week, then warm above normal from mid to late next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Low cloudiness was present this morning across portions
of the area, but ceiling heights were a bit higher than previous
mornings, and clouds were a bit more scattered. The marine layer
early this morning had deepened to over 3000 feet, but it has become
shallower again as of this writing per the McKinleyville profiler.
Clouds linger over portions of the coastal waters this afternoon,
mainly along the SW OR coast and near and offshore from Humboldt Bay.
The forecast period continues to look mostly dry. A weak front will
approach the area from the NW late tonight. The latest forecast
guidance brings PoPs just over 20 percent along and offshore the
North Coast late tonight and Monday morning, but QPF amounts
continue to be minimal to non-existent. As a result, have mostly
drizzle in the forecast along with a few patches of light rain.
Forecast models are now trending toward less amplification of the
Desert SW ridge early in the coming week. Instead, they are
developing a narrower ridge over the E Pacific and the West Coast
later in the week. As a result, temperatures are forecast to remain
closer to normal through mid-week, then rise above normal late in the
coming week and into next weekend. /SEC
&&
.AVIATION...Some stratus has persisted along the coast from Trinidad
to Eureka this afternoon with some small around in other places.
This will likely allow the stratus to return quickly along the coast
tonight. The HREF keeps the CIG probabilities below 25 percent
through 06Z, however with the extent of the status currently off the
coast it may expand more quickly than currently in the TAF and the
HREF. The HREF also has stratus coming in earlier in KCEC, around
02Z. The stratus coverage is currently less up there, but this still
looks reasonable and it may come in sooner than expected KCEC as
well. Later tonight a weak frontal boundary moving through the area
may bring some drizzle. This will likely keep the CIGS from dropping
to LIFR. Monday the HREF shows skies slow to clear, although they may
lift to MVFR. MKK
&&
.MARINE...North of Cape Mendocino winds and seas are unusually
light. Winds are around 5 kt and seas are around 2 feet. Winds may
briefly increase late this afternoon, but only to around 10 kt or so.
South of Cape Mendocino the winds are somewhat elevated. It looks
like in the fan south of Cape Mendocino there may be a few gusts to
25 kt, although most areas are likely below 20 kt. These fairly light
conditions are expected to persist through tonight. A southerly
swell around 2 feet at 13 seconds is currently moving through the
waters and is expected to gradually diminish into this week. In
addition a northwest swell starts to move into the waters late
tonight. Initially it is expected to be around 2 to 3 feet at 9
seconds. This is expected to gradually increase to around 5 feet at
10 seconds on Tuesday before diminishing late in the week.
Monday winds and seas start to increase in the southern waters. Most
areas will be seeing sustained north to northwest winds of 20Kt
south of Cape Mendocino with gusts to 25 kt. This looks large enough
to warrant a small craft advisory so have added that to the afternoon
forecast. These conditions generally persist through Tuesday. Then
Tuesday night the winds start to increase again as an upper level
trough moves by to the north. These winds are expected to peak on
Wednesday. The southern waters look to peak near gale force while the
northern waters look to have winds over 25 kt. Late in the week and
the into the weekend high pressure starts to build in again. This
will lead to lighter winds as the high pressure moves over the top of
the area. MKK
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...Northwesterlies will peak in the southern half of
the forecast area today. Gusty ridgetop winds will be likely into
tonight across 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. /SEC
