AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
307 PM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Cold weather will persist for one more night tonight
with a moderate rain storm on the way late Wednesday night through
Thursday. Rain will be strongest in the southern half of the area
with snow in Trinity County.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Cold and dry weather has dominated the weather for the
past several days with a low temperature record of 29 again being
broken in Eureka. Cold weather will hang on for one more night, but
cloudy skies show a clear sign of a strong weather change on the
way. Lows will likely remain in the low 30s tonight, even at the
coast, but by Wednesday afternoon, southerly winds will begin to
pull in warmer air.

Southerly wind will increase all across the area Wednesday evening,
but especially along the North Coast. Peak gusts of 40 to 50 mph are
most likely at higher elevations early Thursday morning with more
moderate gusts further south. While 800 mb gusts are between 55 and
70 mph, this initial burst of wind show little instability to mix to
lower elevations, protecting most low elevation and valley
locations. a second round of wind will build Thursday evening. This
round will be focused further south. Though winds aloft are weaker,
only up to around 40 to 50 mph, this second round is associated with
more instability attached to an approaching surface low. This may
allow for stronger gusts to mix down, particularly for the southern
half of the area where conditions will be most unstable. High
resolution models show peak gusts of 35 to 45 mph at the surface.
The exact strength of the wind, particularly the second round, will
be highly dependent on the exact track of the surface low which
remains relatively uncertain.

Alongside the wind, rain will also build in early Thursday morning
and throughout the day. Rain is expected to be strongest in the
southern half of the area where the IVT flux is strongest (moderate
AR level). Over 24 hours, 1 to 3.5 inches of rain is most likely
across the area. The highest overall amounts are likely in the high
mountains in northeast Mendocino County with localized amounts up to
4 inches. High resolution models, however, show the highest rain
rates in southern Lake and Mendocino Counties with 20% chance of
rain rates briefly as high as 0.5 in/hr especially Thursday morning.
With already saturated ground, such rates will increase the risk of
localized urban and small stream flooding, especially around Clear
Lake itself. That said, moderate rain amounts overall will limit
mainstem flooding concerns with only a 30% or so of minor flooding
along the Navarro and Russian rivers.

Snow levels will begin the even rather low, especially in Trinity
County where cold air will likely be trapped inside valleys and be
reinforced by upslope wind. Snow levels will begin as low as 1500
feet early Thursday morning, most likely allowing for 2 to 5 inches
of wet snow along much of Highways 299, 3, and 36 in Trinity County.
South wind, however will increase snow levels quickly, especially
closer to the coast and for the southern half of the area where less
than 1 inch of snow is expected along any highway corridors or
populated areas. Snow levels will most likely rise above 4000 feet
even in Trinity County by Thursday night, restricting further snow
concerns only to high peaks.

There is high model confidence that a break in the rain will build
Friday through Saturday, but another round of rain is on tap by
Sunday into early next week, but currently only about 30% of models
show it being any stronger than a moderate AR. This second event
will most likely be focused on the northern half of the area. /JHW

&&

.AVIATION...A system moving by to the southwest of the area is
bringing some high clouds to the area. This may bring some light
rain or sprinkles to KUKI tonight. There is also a chance this will
allow some low clouds to develop, but confidence is low on this as
well. Wednesday southerly winds will start to pick up in the
afternoon ahead of the next frontal boundary. MKK

&&

.MARINE...Winds and waves continue to diminish this afternoon. Winds
will become light and easterly overnight. Wednesday the winds are
expected to become southerly and increase through the day. Gale
force winds are expected to develop by Wednesday evening. Models are
in fairly good agreement on gale force winds overnight so have
issued a gale watch for the outer waters. These gale conditions may
make it into the inner waters later Wednesday night, but confidence
was lower on this and it is expected to be a shorter duration so
have not issued a watch yet for those waters.

Thursday morning the winds diminish behind the front. In the
afternoon the surface low moves past the area around 50 NM off Pt St
George. The low is filling as at approaches the area. Currently this
is only expected to bring winds of 25 to 30 kt, but a small change
in intensity could bring stronger winds.

Thursday night and Friday a swell moves into the waters. This builds
fairly quickly to 16 feet at 15 seconds. Around this time there is
also expected to be northwest winds increasing as well. These look
to be around 20 to 25 kt for a short period of time The large
northwest swell is expected to remain around 15 feet with the period
dropping slightly to around 13 seconds. This swell is expected
diminish more over the weekend. Another round of stronger southerly
winds are expected to start spreading across the area Saturday and
peak on Sunday. MKK
