Area forecast discussion, May 12, 1:57 PM PDT, 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 157 PM PDT Tue May 12 2026 .SYNOPSIS...An upper level low will cool temperatures slightly today with some light rain tonight and early Wednesday for the North Coast. Cool temperatures Wednesday with warming again Thursday before a weak shortwave upper level disturbance brings cooler temperatures Friday and Saturday. Warmer weather expected early next week. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Light rain or drizzle forecast for tonight and Wednesday morning for Del Norte and Humboldt counties, mostly dry weather for areas farther east and south. - Breezy winds for Lake County tonight. - Breezes grow more widespread Thursday into this weekend. .DISCUSSION...The approaching upper-level trough is deepening the marine layer, cooling temperatures across the forecast area. The greatest effect of this deepening is near the coast where today is around 10degF cooler than yesterday. Further inland, Trinity county, eastern Mendocino county and Lake county is showing only a few degrees of cooling at most. Tonight into Wednesday morning, the weak frontal boundary will force very light rain for Humboldt and Del Norte counties. Totals of 0.10-0.25" is expected in these counties, with the heaviest rain, up to 0.35",forecasted for the mountains of Del Norte county. Farther south and east, only a trace of rain is forecasted <0.01" for valleys. High temperatures will be notably lower on Wednesday due to cold air advection. This front will also force strong winds tonight into Wednesday, particularly for Lake County as the wind direction aligns with Clear Lake. Gusts of 25mph are possible with a 10% chance of gusts >35mph. Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, high pressure starts to build into the area promoting clear skies as most of the inland areas can expected daytime highs warming into the 80s. Friday and Saturday the upper level flow evolves towards a more zonal setup as a shortwave moves over Washington State. This change forces slightly cooler temperatures Friday with additional cooling on Saturday. Also, more wide spread gusty winds are expected starting on Thursday and increasing Friday and into the weekend. Gusts of 20 to 30 mph are possible with locally higher gusts up to 40mph possible in localized areas. Ensemble predict a return of high pressure on Sunday and return of the inland heat. This will bring some offshore flow for Monday morning leading to a potential clearing of coastal clouds. These offshore winds will be short-lived. This high pressure looks to be a catalyst for a thermal trough pattern leading to breezy winds along the coast, likely help keep the high temperatures on the coast normal. Inland, areas are predicted to warm into the upper 80s to low 90s. Minor heat risk is possible for much of the interior next week if this forecast remains on track. MKK/DS && .AVIATION...An approaching cold front is forcing variable conditions at North Coast terminals today. Overcast ceilings are forecasted to scatter slightly through midday before southerly winds and overcast conditions return this evening. This frontal will be relatively weak and data shows only a 50% likelihood of MVFR ceilings developing over the North Coast terminals from 08Z-15Z (+/-1hr). Conditions Wednesday look to be VFR from 18Z through the daylight hours. Inland terminals will experience gustier winds due to this frontal passage. Winds aloft ~2500ft AGL will be around 35kts out of the NW and have the potential to mix down to terminals, especially those in open or N-S orientated valleys. VFR for inland areas through the TAF period. DS && .MARINE...Light to moderately breezy NW winds will remain for the southern waters. For the waters north of Cape Mendocino, a southerly wind shift will occur this afternoon/evening as a weak cold front enters the area. After this frontal passage, a thermal trough is predicted to develop, which, interacting with an incoming Pacific High pressure will force NW winds by dawn Wednesday. Wednesday through Friday shows these winds increasing with over a 70% chance of gusts over 35kts south of Cape Mendocino and near gale gusts elsewhere. Due to these winds, a Gale Watch has been issued for PZZ475 beginning Wednesday afternoon. The sea state will continue to be dominated by a mid- period westerly swell and short period northerly winds, especially late week. Small craft advisory conditions are expected possible Wednesday afternoon through the end of the week as steep short period seas become dominate. DS && .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.
