What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Eureka, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Sep 23, 1:32 PM PDT, 8 hours 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 23, 1:32 PM PDT, 8 hours 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 132 PM PDT Tue Sep 23 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Isolated light showers will be possible for southern Lake and southern Mendocino Counties Wednesday. Otherwise, dry and stable weather with an increase in coastal fog and stratus is expected for the rest of this week. Additional troughs may yield some rain over the weekend, primarily Sunday. && .DISCUSSION...A closed low pressure system is forecast to approach central and southern California tonight and then track slightly northward over the coastal waters on Wednesday. Model guidance continues to indicate there is less than a 10 percent chance for wetting rain across Northwest California as this low moves through to the south. However, there could still be a few light showers or isolated thunderstorm along or near the border of southern Lake County Wed evening. HRRR depicts a band of mid level moisture and possible elevated convection advancing northward Wednesday afternoon and evening. Latest HREF and NBM probabilistic guidance continues to indicate low potential (5% or less) for thunderstorms along the border with Nape and Sonoma County Wed evening. Real-time observations such as radar, lightning detection network and satellite data will give us a much better idea on this threat. We added isolated light showers or sprinkles to the forecast for southern Lake per the NBM guidance, NAM and ICON models. Generally above normal temperatures and greater cloud cover are forecast for Wed. Also, the low will still pull up moisture form the south, but the general northeast flow around the low will not be favorable for widespread wetting rain. Showers that do form will most likely be around the rim of southern Lake County where the wind best aligns with topography as orographic lift will mostly be a storm catalyst. The low ejects into the Great Basin on Thu as ridging aloft rebuild over NW California. Temps should warm back up in the interior. Northerlies ramp up offshore over the coastal waters and stratus and fog may once again dominate coastal weather for a day or two before clearing out. Wetter weather conditions will be possible as we head into the latter portion of the weekend (Sunday) and early next week (Monday and Tuesday). A series of troughs may break down a dominant ridge parked over Northwest Cal. Models typically do poorly this time of year and tend to bring precip (rain) in too fast. Other than some patches of coastal drizzle/fog, Sunday may turn out to be dry with mild temperatures too. && .AVIATION...(18Z TAFs)...Outside patchy ground fog, skies remained clear for the night. Satellite is currently showing clear skies across the area, and this is likely to continue through the day. Offshore flow aloft is weaker tonight, but most models are in agreement in it likely being enough to keep skies mostly clear again. Some LIFR stratus or fog is not out of the question around sunrise Wednesday, but chances aren't high. A southerly wind reversal tonight into the morning hours will likely bring stratus north from the Mendocino coast. At ACV and CEC, stratus would likely arrive sometime in the afternoon Wednesday. Any daytime heating will likely keep this stratus elevated and off the coast until the evening, but this depends on when it arrives. Inland areas are likely to remain VFR with generally light winds for the next 24 hours. JB && .MARINE...Northerly winds continue to diminish and move further offshore. Steep seas are also starting to subside as these winds diminish. Southerly winds nearshore increase tonight, and may be breezy around Cape Mendocino, and will carry stratus northward. High pressure will then nose back from the west in Thursday, strengthening the pressure gradient against a cutoff upper low over Central CA. Northerly winds will strengthen Thursday through Friday in response. Gale conditions are looking more likely in the outer zones. NBM now holds a 40 to 60% chance for gales late Thursday and Friday. Steep seas are currently forecast to build to 10-12 ft in the outer waters through that period. && .FIRE WEATHER...Above normal high temperatures and low daytime RH's are expected through Friday and perhaps into the weekend. Winds have been generally favoring east to northeast directions over the exposed ridges. Not too big of a concern with localized peak gusts to 25 mph or so over exposed ridges. Southerlies and upslope breezes should generally prevail as we head into Wed as surface low pressure develops over the northern interior. RH's should increase slightly with the southerlies in some areas near the coast and areas susceptible to marine air intrusions from the south and eventually the west. Northerlies ramp up over the coastal ranges toward the end of the week, Thu- Fri, after a cut-off low moves across central California on Wednesday. Potential for lightning and deep moist convection with this low is looking quite low (5%) for our southern interior, particularly southern Lake on the border with Napa and Sonoma. A band of mid level moisture is forecast to advance northward through the day on Wed. A few high based showers or sprinkles will be possible for southern Lake and far southern Mendocino in the afternoon and evening. Most if not all model sounding depict a very dry lower atmosphere and any drops from mid level clouds will probably evaporate. There is slim chance for stronger west-southwest gusts if evaporatively cooled downdrafts couple with surface winds, especially in southern Lake County. Only one model (HRRR) from the HREF shows convective cells >40dBZ. Right now it appears the consensus is for the band to dissipate upon moving into a dry and stable air mass. && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA... None. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS... None. && NOTE: The full forecast discussion is now regularly issued between 10 am/pm and 1 pm/am. Additional updates will be issued as needed.
