Synopsis for northern california waters - Northerly winds will shift to southerly over the next 24 hours ahead of an approaching front. Moderate to fresh breezes can be expected on Wednesday as the front moves through the waters and also in it's wake. Stronger southerlies are likely late week as a more potent low moves through the region. A long westerly fetch on the south side of this low will build a fresh westerly swell into the waters over the weekend.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 256 PM PDT Mon Mar 18 2024
SYNOPSIS
Dry, seasonably warm temperatures will continue across the interior through Tuesday, while coastal areas experience overnight stratus development followed by afternoon clearing.
Unsettled weather and cooler temperatures return late in the week.
DISCUSSION
Stratus has peeled back to the immediate coast this afternoon, with portions of the coast seeing some sunshine. The marine layer is presently around 1500 feet deep per local profiler data, but with a weak low-level inversion. Expect coastal stratus to redevelop this evening and slightly deepen tonight into Tuesday.
Dry and unseasonably mild weather will continue during the first half of the work week as the strong high pressure persists over the NWRN CONUS. Interior valley temperatures are expected to be mainly in the 70s. Similar temperatures are expected on Tuesday with highs around 5 to 15 degrees above normal.
The ridge aloft begins to weaken and shift eastward during Wednesday, while an upstream shortwave trough approaches the area.
This will bring a cooling trend across the interior, with highs at or near normal. The aforementioned shortwave will swing northeastward toward the Pac NW and Northern California, and bring a slight chance (20-30%) of 0.01" of rain for Del Norte County early Thursday morning. Any lingering light showers are expected to taper off on Thursday as a brief shortwave ridge builds in over the region.
Unsettled weather is expected late this week as a cutoff low separates from the jet to our north and approaches the region. There are still some uncertainties with the deterministic models in the timing and location of the trough during the weekend. Moisture transport models depict a plume of subtropical moisture along the associated occluded front moving toward the area on Friday. This may bring moderate rainfall somewhere along the coast between the Bay Area and OR border, although location will depend on where this plume of moisture makes landfall. In addition, strong gusty south- southeast winds will be possible (30-40%) for the coastal headlands and exposed ridges in Del Norte and Humboldt counties Friday into Saturday. Snow levels begin around 5000 to 6000 feet on Thursday, lowering to around 3500 to 4500 feet with the post frontal cold air mass aloft over the weekend.
VELEZ
AVIATION
Persistent low level stratus capping a shallow marine layer has gradually eroded this afternoon with E/NE offshore flow and diurnal heating. CEC and ACV will briefly experience periods of broken ceilings this afternoon before quickly returning to IFR/LIFR conditions beneath low overcast ceilings. Limited visibilities are expected this evening and overnight as an already moist BL cools and generates fog amidst light winds. UKI will remain calm and clear overnight, but hi-res models are hinting at a brief period of low stratus ceilings early Tuesday morning.
MARINE
Light northerlies and relatively calm seas will persist through Tuesday beneath a high pressure ridge centered over the Northern Pacific Coast. Winds will gradually turn WSW early Wednesday ahead of a surface front driven by an upper shortwave.
Gusts will approach small craft criteria Wednesday afternoon but will likely remain marginal. Another frontal boundary is expected to traverse area waters late Thursday into Friday, with gustier winds possible. However, models are still displaying uncertainty on strength and timing of the associated surface low generating the stronger front. Meanwhile, several long period NW swells continue to dominate the sea state, with a greater chance for steep southerly wind waves possible this weekend as the low impacts the coast.
