AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
250 PM PDT Thu May 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Warm and dry conditions will slowly ease with cool
weather and light rain this weekend. Expect strong gusty winds along
shore each afternoon Saturday and Sunday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGES:

-Regular, shallow diurnal marine layer right along shore, becoming
strongest around Friday.

-Cooler weather and light rain for the northern half of the area
this Wednesday.

-Gusty North wind up to 35 mph on high ridges and along shore
Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: An upper level ridge has reached its apex
across the area today. This has allowed for interior highs to crest
in the mid 80s under clear skies. Meanwhile a shallow but consistent
marine layer has kept coastal locations buried in clouds. The ridge
will begin to ease Friday. This will help inland highs pull back
slightly. Along the coast, marine clouds will likely lift up
slightly but remain strong under a persistent marine inversion and
gentle onshore flow.

A narrow trough and surface low will skate down the coast Friday
evening into Saturday. At the very least, this low will bring thick,
elevated cloud cover and much cooler and more moist conditions with
highs in the mid 50s. There is potential for wetting rain across the
north Coast. Most likely rainfall for the northern half of the area
will be 0.1 to 0.2 inches over 24 hours with just a trace amount of
rain further south. Over higher terrain in trinity County, there is
potential for isolated thunderstorms (15% chance) along the leading
edge of the Trough Friday evening. The window of instability will be
very short lived making any impacts unlikely.

High pressure will quickly begin to build again along shore Saturday
afternoon and particularly Sunday afternoon. Strong northerly winds
are expected across the area with most likely peak gusts around 35
mph each afternoon. Winds will be strongest on high ridges and in
exposed areas near shore.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND DEVIATIONS: There is relatively little
uncertainty in the overall forecast. In the short term, the greatest
uncertainty would likely be associated with the strength of the
marine layer, though impacts will be minimal.

Models have generally trended slightly earlier and downward
concerning rain potential. 40% of models show rain as soon as late
Friday night with almost all by sunrise on Saturday. Only about 20%
models now show even 0.1 inches of rain along the coast with nearly
50% showing only a trace of rain.

There is some uncertainty regarding the strength of wind near shore
Saturday and Sunday afternoons. While essentially all models show
gusty wind, there is uncertainty regarding exactly how strong gusts
could get. Generally stable conditions suggest winds won't be too
gusty but will be more consistent where they are strong. In general,
NBM shows a 50% chance of isolated gusts over 40 mph along the coast
with an 80% chance at higher terrain. There is little potential (20%
chance) of gusts up to 50 mph in populated areas. Such winds means
impacts to tents and outdoor activities are very likely, but the
risk of power outages will be minor. /JHW

&&

.AVIATION...Low level stratus hugging the coast today is creating
IFR to LIFR conditions along coastal terminals. Winds will remain
light through the day allowing fog to stay settled this evening. Low
clouds are forecasted to continue through tonight into tomorrow
morning. HREF shows broken to scattered ceilings for low level cloud
coverage. Inland, KUKI can expect VFR conditions

&&

.MARINE...Northerly winds and steep wind waves are expected to
continue to ease today, especially nearshore. A weak front moving
through tonight into Friday will bring lighter southerly winds
across the area, but northerlies are expected to ramp up again
behind the front Friday night into the weekend. Gale force gusts of
35 to 40 kts are possible even nearshore, with the strongest winds
likely Saturday and Sunday afternoons. These winds will bring very
steep, chaotic seas of around 12-15 ft at 10 seconds. Winds remain
elevated but begin to ease Monday, and continue to gradually ease
into the middle of next week. JB
