AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
402 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025
.SYNOPSIS...An isolated rain band will likely bring very light
precipitation around sunrise. Otherwise, cold and dry weather will
persist until around Wednesday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...After many days of rain and cloudy skies, dry and
sunny weather finally prevailed yesterday. Clear skies in the evening
have allowed for strong cooling overnight, even along the coast with
low temperatures right around freezing. Interior temperatures have
dropped below freezing, though high surface moisture has prevented
most places form cooling any lower than the upper 20s. As of early
this morning, a weak band of showers is slowly approaching shore.
This band is expected to have little to no accumulating
precipitation, though cold surface temperatures may enable some snow
flakes even along the coast.
Models consistently show the rain band currently offshore being the
final gasp of precipitation with dry weather through the rest of the
weekend. Drier air, clear skies, and gentle offshore flow will all
promote cool conditions, with very cold conditions at night. By
Sunday morning, most likely lows even along the coast will dip into
the upper 20s. Many interior locations will see lows in the low 20s
with conditions in the teens for Trinity County. Cold weather will
present a significant risk to people without adequate shelter or
heating.
There is high model agreement (over 90%) that moist conditions will
return around mid next week, but the vast majority of models show
only light to moderate rain with generally few impacts. Only about
20% of cluster ensemble members currently show any potential for
heavier rain or snow. That said, cold weather leading up to the
event will open the door to potentially impactful low elevation snow
even if moisture is meager. The details of this next event will be
watched closely in the coming forecast updates. /JHW
&&
.AVIATION...VFR has prevailed overnight at all TAF sites, although
latest satellite imagery shows low cloud in many interior valleys.
Another shortwave slides southward down the West Coast this morning,
with local radar indicating precipitation currently around 20 mi
offshore of Trinidad, and IR satellite showing more bands of precip
upstream. This shortwave should bring more light rain and possibly
MVFR ceilings to the Redwood coast this morning. Skies are expected
to clear this afternoon while northerly winds accelerate, then
turning offshore late this evening. Offshore flow aloft should keep
coastal terminals clear tonight.
&&
.MARINE...Winds have significantly diminished early this morning as
another weak shortwave moves onshore. Stronger northerlies return
late this afternoon and this evening behind this shortwave, first to
the southern waters then spreading to the northern waters early
Sunday morning. Winds continue to increase heading into Sunday
evening, reaching around 20 to 30 kts with Gale Force gusts possible
in the outer waters , then winds trend down heading into next week.
Southerlies are possible mid to late next week as another trough
approaches the West Coast. Seas rapidly respond to the winds tonight
and Sunday and will remain primarily locally generated. A few
relatively small west swells are expected to move through the waters
next week.
