AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 230 PM PDT Sun May 31 2020

SYNOPSIS. Isolated showers will possible over the interior mountains today and Monday. Otherwise, dry weather is expected through much of the upcoming work week. Inland temperatures will steadily warm through the middle of the week. Onshore breezes should keep coastal areas seasonably cool.

DISCUSSION. A shortwave trough offshore is forecast to begin to split and bring some energy onshore late this afternoon and early this evening. Spotty showers will be possible over portions of eastern Del Norte, Trinity, and northeast Mendocino counties this afternoon and early this evening as a result. Confidence is low, but there will be a very slight chance for an isolated thunderstorm in the vicinity of the Trinity Horn late this afternoon and early this evening. An additional round of spotty showers will once again be possible in these areas Monday afternoon as an additional wave moves over the area during the late morning and afternoon time period. The SREF Calibrated Probabilities of Thunder product show a decent chance for some thunder Monday afternoon and early evening, so have introduced thunder chances for portions of Trinity and northeast Mendocino counties. Other areas will remain dry during this timeframe.

Both deterministic and ensemble guidance are in good agreement and show the southern part of the shortwave trough moving southward and forming a cut off low off the Southern California coast later on Monday and into Tuesday. Higher pressure will build toward the area early on Tuesday. As a result, interior temperatures will be on the rise again. Afternoon highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s will be possible starting on Tuesday and lasting through Thursday in some of the warmer interior valleys. Guidance then is in good agreement that another upper-level trough will impact the region from the northwest late on Friday and into the weekend. Exact details are still a little unclear, though cooler weather will return to the interior and the greatest precipitation chances will be in the northern part of the forecast area.

AVIATION. General drying conditions to occur today at TAF sites, but abiding moisture and mechanical uplift over the mountains could result in a few showers over interior airfields. Satellite imagery around 18Z indicated lots of retreating stratus with SCT- BKN higher clouds above. Marine stratus most likely to return overnight . especially at ACV. In Mendocino, UKI reported low clouds this morning with Cigs mostly MVFR, but briefly dipping into LIFR. Bufkit suggested a possibility of a few lower clouds back into UKI in the morning. The confidence level for low cloud CIGS is weak at this time. /TA

MARINE. Northerlies will range from mostly 15 to 25 knots across the outer waters and around Cape Mendocino and Point Saint George through the end of the upcoming work week. Small Craft Advisories are in place for these breezy winds and building short-period seas. A mid-period northwest swell will continue to slowly diminish through early in the week and a longer-period southwest swell will linger throughout portions of the waters through the middle of the week. Otherwise, another another mid- period northwest swell will move through waters starting late on Wednesday.

EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . None. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS . Small Craft Advisory until 3 AM PDT Friday for Pzz450-475.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
