AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
309 PM PST Sun Dec 31 2023

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure building in tonight will bring dry
conditions for Monday. Widespread valley is likely overnight and
Monday morning. Wet and unsettled weather will return Tuesday
through Wednesday. A series of colder storms are expected Friday
through Sunday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The weather system bringing clouds and a few light
showers to the interior today will move south and out of the area
tonight. As the high clouds clear, fog is likely in the valleys
tonight. This may be dense in some areas. Monday is expected to
see mostly sunny skies once the fog burns off in the interior
valleys.

Tuesday southerly winds will start to increase again ahead of a
vertically stacked upper level low and associated frontal
boundary approaches the area. The surface low is gradually
weakening, but strong southerly winds are still expected as it
approaches the coast. 925 MB winds on the NAM are showing around
50 kt just off the coast, likely indicative of a coastal jet.
Winds are expected to peak in the evening. This could bring gusts
of 35 mph to the coastal areas and gusts over 50 mph on the
exposed coastal ridges. Rain is expected to move onshore in the
afternoon or evening. Model guidance is in reasonable agreement
this time, but areas on the north side of the mountains, such as
Humboldt Bay, may see a later onset of the rain due to the
southerly winds. With a slight shift north in the area of low
pressure rain and snowfall amounts have trended upwards. Rainfall
amounts look to range from nearly an inch on the redwood coast
with around 1 to 2 inches in much of Mendocino and Lake counties.
Snow levels are expected to be around 4500 to 5000 feet for much
of the precip, but may drop to around 4,000 feet in Trinity
county. This may bring over 5 inches to Scott Mountain summit and
possibly South Fork Mountain in Trinity counties. A winter weather
advisory may be needed. Later Tuesday night and Wednesday morning
there is the potential for a few thunderstorms on the Mendocino
coast.

Wednesday the precip is expected to diminish through the day and
widespread valley fog is expected overnight into Thursday morning.
Dry conditions are expected Thursday. Friday and into the weekend
additional weather systems are expected. The flow becomes more
zonal or even northwesterly on Saturday. This may bring down
colder air and low snow levels. The ensemble mean shows snow
levels dropping to around 3,000 feet with the potential for lower
snow levels later in the weekend. This looks to be the coldest
weather system so far this season and may bring significant
snowfall down to 2,000 or 3,000 feet. These levels may cause
travel impacts on many of the highways in Trinity county. Stay
tuned for details. MKK

&&

.AVIATION...VFR weather prevailed across most of the region's
airports today. The exceptions were some interior
valleys...including UKI where lower Cigs hovered from MVFR to IFR
and brief low Vis. Another exception of flight restrictions were
pockets of stratus and haze along the coast. ACV reported some
early afternoon IFR/LIFR conditions...with any impact seemingly
minimal. Light winds across the region will continue into Monday.
Overnight/morning...VFR conditions to carry on at the coast.
Another round of low Cig/Vis expected at UKI for Monday morning.
/TA

&&

.MARINE...Southeast winds are relatively light across the waters
this afternoon and waves have dropped to around 8 feet at 13
seconds. These are expected to persist tonight. Monday southerly
winds will increase in the afternoon in the outer waters as an
area of low pressure starts to approach the area. In the meantime
a northwesterly swell builds into the waters. Initially it will
be around 3 to 5 feet at seconds. In addition to this, the 10 to
12 second mid period swell is expected to continue. Monday night
and Tuesday the winds continue to increase to near gale or gale
force. The low has come into range of hires models and there is
decent agreement on gale force winds or least gusts to 35 kt. So
have issued a gale watch for the northern outer waters for most of
the day Tuesday. This may need to be expanded to the southern and
inner waters, but confidence is lower on this so have held off on
the watch.

Tuesday night and Wednesday southerly winds will persist, but
gradually diminish. These will finally turn northerly again at
some point Wednesday afternoon and are expected to persist into
the weekend. In addition a westerly swell is expected to build
in on Wednesday to around 12 to 15 feet at 16 seconds. MKK
