Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries... Buoy observations show moderately gusty northwest winds, with near gale force gusts in the coastal waters south of point sur. Gale force gusts are expected to develop over the northern waters this evening. Gusty winds will persist through Tuesday evening. These winds will produce steep wind waves resulting in hazardous seas conditions, particularly for smaller vessels. Moderate northwest swell through the period along with a lighter longer period southerly swell.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 245 PM PDT Mon Apr 19 2021
SYNOPSIS. Dry weather is expected to prevail through the work week before widespread rain chances increase this weekend. Interior daytime temperatures will generally remain above normal during the week. Some interior valleys will continue to be chilly during the early mornings. A passing disturbance will bring drizzle to portions of Humboldt County tonight into Tuesday morning. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will also be possible over Lake, northeast Mendocino and eastern Trinity Counties during the afternoon on Tuesday.
DISCUSSION. A transient upper level trough will induce a deeper marine layer with possible drizzle tonight through Tuesday morning. Cooler temperatures are expected for the interior on Tuesday as this shortwave trough traverses across the area. Cooling aloft associated with the trough will create sufficient instability during the day on Tuesday for possible showers and thunderstorms over the higher elevations of eastern Trinity, northeastern Mendocino and northern Lake counties. Convective allowing models, HRRR and NAM-nest, indicate convection developing as early as late tonight in Siskiyou County as a speed max traverses over Cape Mendocino. Warp around showers with the upper low may spread into the Trinity horn region around daybreak.
Steeper mid-level lapse rates and greater instability is forecast to develop with daytime heating on Tuesday in the wrap around NE flow behind the upper low. The environment is quite dry with precipitable water values forecast to reach 0.50 to 0.60 inches by afternoon. NAM BUFKIT soundings has CAPE values peaking near 230J/KG with equilibrium levels near 20kft Tuesday afternoon. SREF calibrated tstm probabilities are only around 5%, while HREF neighborhood probabilities increase during the afternoon primarily over eastern Mendocino and Lake counties. Confidence we will see storms is not high, however there are sufficient indicators that storms (albeit weak ones) will be possible for the higher terrain of eastern Mendocino, southeastern Trinity and northern Lake Counties Tuesday afternoon.
Warming is expected in the interior during the latter half of this week as a ridge aloft builds toward the area. GEFS 500mb means and deterministic GFS has another weak trough dropping down over the area in dry northerly flow on Wed. This shortwave is not as pronounced in ECMWF 500mb mean and deterministic solution. If the upper trough lingers over the area longer, slower warming will be the end result. Also, cooler overnight low temperatures with possible early morning frost in the interior valleys will be a distinct possibility. Coastal areas will not see any significant warming, due to the persistent northerly winds offshore and the steady influx of cool marine air each afternoon.
Ensemble guidance and cluster analysis continue to indicate rain probabilities increasing through the weekend. There is still about 40% variance on the timing and a lesser variance on the depth of the cold core trough. Multi-model calibrated ensemble indicates 40-60% chance for a tenth of an inch of rain or more over the weekend centered on the 24hr period from Saturday night through Sunday afternoon. This rain will likely be in the beneficial category even though there are subtle hints we could see convection once the cold core aloft arrives early next week (Mon or Tue).
AVIATION. Brief clearing at many coastal locations this afternoon will quickly be replaced by stratus once again as a deep saturated marine layer spreads inland across coastal Humboldt/Del Norte Counties, as well as portions of Mendocino County. Locally strong ascent due to strengthening low-level northwesterly flow near and upwind from the King Range will also favor drizzle across much of the Humboldt Bay area tonight, including KACV. Farther south at KUKI, the marine layer is forecast to be sufficiently deep to spread east across the coastal hills/ridges, such that IFR/LIFR ceilings may develop across Ukiah toward 12Z/20th.
MARINE. Little change in the marine forecast this afternoon. Surface high pressure over the NERN PAC is on track to strengthen during the next 24 hours. The pressure gradient will tighten in the vicinity of coastal NWRN CA and aid in the development of small craft northerlies across all coastal waters by late this evening. Winds are forecast to strengthen further to gale force over the outer waters, and recent hires guidance is indicating these winds pulling closer to the coast in the southern inners and locally near Pt. Saint George by Tuesday afternoon. Have extended the gale warning into the southern inners during Tuesday in response. Gusty north winds and steep hazardous seas will persist through Wednesday. Winds and seas are then forecast to weaken during the second half of the week.
