AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 352 AM PDT Thu Jun 8 2023
SYNOPSIS
Afternoon and evening thunderstorm coverage across interior portions of Northwest California will trend downward through Friday, and then increase this weekend into early next week. Otherwise, temperatures will generally be near seasonal normals during the next seven days.
DISCUSSION
An upper trough will gradually exit east away from CA during the next 24 hours. As that takes place, large-scale ascent will become negligible across the EKA CWA, and low to midlevel lapse rates will weaken. Thus, thunderstorm development this afternoon will generally become confined to the taller interior terrain, with isolated to scattered non-thundering showers possible elsewhere. A similar scenario is expected during Friday, followed by an upper trough evolving into a closed low this weekend. The closed low will potentially yield a more favorable environment for increased thunderstorm coverage over NRN CA Saturday afternoon through early next week. Thereafter, multi- model guidance shows shortwave ridging building across the region from the west. That evolution will diminish precipitation potential, and aid in moderating interior valley high temperatures.

AVIATION
An upper level trough moving over the area has deepened the marine layer, bringing consistent MVFR ceilings all along the coast. With a weak inversion allowing for depth of 4k ft, marine clouds have spilled inland as far as Ukiah overnight.
NBM shows a 50% chance of brief IFR ceilings around sunrise as the marine layer continues to fill out, but clouds will quickly lift back out to MVFR later this morning. With midlevel clouds continuing to inhibit solar heating, any clearing along the coast is highly unlikely. Any MVFR ceiling in the interior, however, should quickly lift out later this morning. Another, similar round of stratus appears on tap for tonight. /JHW
MARINE
A broad trough aloft has lead to a weak pressure gradient near shore, allowing for generally light southerly breezes to continue throughout the waters. Light winds will continue through the week until high pressure building over the Eastern Pacific will bring the return of moderate to strong northerlies this weekend. Near gale gusts are possible in the outer waters as soon as late Saturday afternoon.
Residual short period seas have dropped to 4 feet at 8 seconds and will continue to fall through the week. Short period seas will remain low until northerlies build back in this weekend.
Otherwise, a series of minor mid period southerly swells around 3 feet at 16 seconds will persist through the weekend. A mid period westerly swell will start to build early Friday, reaching up to 4 feet at 14 seconds. /JHW
