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 17, 3:16 PM PDT, 5 hours 54 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 3:16 PM PDT, 5 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
316 PM PDT Sun Sep 17 2023

.SYNOPSIS...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms continue across the
interior mountains through Monday afternoon. Drier weather will then
develop early next week, followed by cooler and wet weather late
next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Afternoon water vapor imagery shows a clearly defined
upper low spinning nearly stationary offshore this afternoon. The
low will continue to contribute to afternoon thunderstorms in the
interior, mainly over Trinity County. Forcing is less pronounced
than yesterday, thus coverage is expected to be more isolated (up
to 20%). The upper low will begin to pull away on Monday as a dry,
weakening front pushes closer from the N. There will be enhanced
moisture convergence/pooling ahead of the front which could
enhance thunderstorm development.

The timing and influence of the front is still in question, with
recent higher resolution guidance bringing in the cloud shield
quicker and before peak heating. However, the resulting
differential heating boundary may also be a focus for convective
initiation. HREF currently times the highest focus of convection
ahead of the front in Eastern Trinity County from the Yolla Bolly
area through NE Mendocino County. Held short of scattered coverage
for now due to uncertainty, but maintained 15 to 25% from NE
Mendocino through all of Trinity the fringes of E Humboldt
counties. Instability will be higher Monday than today, so the
potential will be there for a stronger storm if conditions align.
Impacts associated with these storms will be an increased risk of
fire starts, as well as dangerous lightning and sub-severe
hail/wind.

A thermal trough will strengthen Tuesday behind the front. Northerly
winds will become gusty to breezy across the coastal headlands and
some interior ridges through Wednesday. A deepening, cold trough
will dive from the north through the Intermountain West Wednesday
through late Thursday. This will bring cooler weather and the
chance for light precipitation over the interior mountains. The
potential for continued unsettled weather will exist next weekend
as some model guidance shows a second trough deepening over the
NERN PAC and aiding in a more organized rainfall event approaching
the WA/OR coast, and perhaps points south along the NRN CA coast.
The probably for a wetting rain over a tenth of an inch currently
stands at 10 to 15% through the weekend, but some ensemble
members hold higher amounts.

&&

.AVIATION...LIFR conditions have been persistent at the
coastal terminals as ceilings have hovered below 1000 feet. KACV is
the slight exception with MVFR ceilings just at the cusp of IFR.
Expect LIFR tonight as conditions continue with isolated upper level
low just offshore, wrapped in moisture and providing instability to
the area. Model soundings show a slightly deepening Marine layer as
the offshore low slowly approaches. Expect another night of LIFR/IFR
ceilings at the coast, along with IFR to MVFR ceilings overnight for
portions of interior Mendo.

&&

.MARINE...Winds remain light and diurnal near the northern coast
today, with weak coastal southerlies from Pt Arena to the Eel Delta,
while northerlies of about 20 kts develop this morning in the
western portion of the northern outers. This pattern is expected to
persist today, then northerlies are expected to quickly ramp up and
spread to the southern outers Monday afternoon. Northerlies continue
to accelerate during Monday night, possibly reaching gale force in
the northern outer waters Tuesday afternoon and evening. Short
period waves are mostly confined to the northern outers through
Monday morning, while a few small mid period WNW swells and long
period SW swells continue through. Short period seas quickly spread
to all zones by Tuesday. A more significant NW swell is expected to
quickly fill in Monday night, currently forecasted to peak early
Tuesday morning around 9 to 10 ft at 15 seconds. This looks to be
reinforced Wednesday night by another NW swell, peaking around 7 ft
at 15 sec.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to occur
across portions of central and eastern Trinity County as well as
northeastern Mendocino County this afternoon and evening.
Isolated to scattered storms will then be possible Monday
afternoon and evening over much of the the same area. These storms
are forecast to be a mix of wet and dry, and thus will pose at
least a slight risk for additional fire starts. Otherwise, a dry
cold front is forecast to move south across NRN CA Monday night
into Tuesday. RH values will fall into the teens behind the front
during the afternoon across interior portions of NWRN CA, and will
contribute toward elevated fire weather conditions as a mix of
breezy nocturnal offshore directed ridgetop winds and westerly
afternoon east-west valley winds occur. In the extended range,
multi-model guidance continues to show a cooling trend during late
week that may be mixed with periods of rain.

Garner

&&

.BEACH HAZARDS...A moderate threat for sneaker waves will begin
Monday morning and extend through Monday evening. Long period
Northwest Swell can set in suddenly, surprising beachgoers or
recreational aquatic enthusiasts near jetties or near shore. The
timing of this event is during daylight hours when a majority of
people are out and about. Please be aware as calm conditions can
fool you into complacency. This is when tragedy strikes. Do not
turn your back to the ocean and keep your distance as large
objects, logs specifically, can be lifted and propelled onto
beaches.
