AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
316 PM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Gusty northerly winds are forecast for coastal areas
through the middle of the week as high pressure builds into the
region. Increasing temperatures beneath clearing skies will allow
interior valleys to approach or exceed 80 degrees by late week.
Marine stratus is expected to return for the later half of the
week as the northerly winds subside.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A high pressure ridge continues to build into
Northwest California. High clouds continue to stream over the
region while the stratus deck from this morning has burned off due
to diurnal heating. Warm air advection ahead of the building
ridge will allow daytime temperatures to steadily climb into the
70s in interior valleys for the next several days. NBM has 50 to
60 percent probabilities of temperatures exceeding 75 degrees in
interior Mendocino and Lake counties by Wednesday afternoon.
Nightly offshore flow will also help to dry out the interior as
adiabatic warming lowers RH values. Meanwhile, a recurring pattern
of strong northerlies will remain prevalent offshore through mid-
week which should prevent marine stratus from inundating the
coastline and encourage diurnal heating. As a result, NBM
indicates a high probability of coastal temperatures nearing 60
degrees by Wednesday afternoon.

Long range models are indicating a minor breakdown in the high
pressure ridge late this week and into the weekend, causing
northerly winds to subside and shift further offshore. This will
give an opportunity for the marine layer to deepen beneath broad
high pressure subsidence, potentially dampening daytime warming
along the coast if it moves onshore. Also, model soundings and
long-range deterministic models indicate strong low to mid level
warming and drying Thursday and Friday, further strengthening the
marine inversion. However, some models indicate that offshore flow
each night from the middle to end of the week may be sufficient
enough to keep the marine layer just off the coast. This could
mean the marine layer may have less of a dampening effect on
coastal temperatures at the end of the week, also meaning
temperatures in the low 60s for the coast Thursday and Friday.
Interior RH values will likely decrease below 50 percent. Most interior
valleys are expected to have temperatures in the mid to upper
70s. NBM indicates a high chance for temperatures above 80 for
many interior valleys of southern Mendocino and Lake counties. The
warmest valleys of interior Humboldt, Trinity, and northern
Mendocino counties have a slightly lower chance of temperatures
above 80. However, all these areas will most likely remain in the
low 80s for these areas.

&&

.AVIATION...Summer-like conditions will continue for this TAF
period.  Winds along the coastal sites are flowing out of the
northwest, with stronger winds and gusts forecasted for KCEC than
KACV. A shift of the winds at KACV from north-northwest to a more
off-shore, northeast  flow is expected to occur this evening and
last until tomorrow midday. If forecasts busts, there is a slight
chance (20-30%) of low ceilings due to marine stratus returning to
the coastal sites. Inland at KUKI, clear skies will persist through
the forecast time with winds increasing in the afternoon as thermal
heating drives a northwest flow through the Russian River valley.
Any increase in wind is expected to die down as the evening sets in
and influence of solar heating decreases. DS

&&

.MARINE...Midday scatterometer winds estimated sustained winds of
29kt to 33kt winds over the outer and portions of the inner waters,
and winds have likely increased into the afternoon. Expansion fans
south of Cape Mendocino and Point Saint George will bring areas
(<50% coverage) of Gales into the inners, mainly in the afternoons
and evenings through Wednesday. The axis of strongest northerlies
and largest seas will most likely shift westward toward the latter
portion of the week and conditions will ease up and improve -
especially for the inner waters.
