AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Eureka CA 307 PM PDT Mon Apr 12 2021

SYNOPSIS. Gusty northerly winds will continue along the coast each afternoon and evening today and Tuesday. Otherwise, mostly clear skies with cool nights and mild to warm days are expected.

DISCUSSION. High pressure and offshore flow continues to bring clear skies and dry conditions to the region. As the week progresses, an upper level low drops into eastern Oregon weakening the pressure gradient. Early Tuesday morning the HREF, and to a lesser extend the NBM, is showing some stratus developing in the Eel River Delta and around Humboldt Bay. This seems reasonable with the lighter winds and more northerly flow. Dry conditions and mainly clear skies are expected to continue with this very dry weather system. The most notable change will be temperatures 5 to 10 degrees cooler across the interior areas. Winds will increase across the interior in the afternoon. The coastal areas may actually increase a few degrees as the offshore flow picks up through the day. Mostly clear skies and dry conditions are expected to continue.

Tuesday night into Wednesday morning northeasterly winds (offshore flow) continue to increase. This will be most notable on the ridges near the coast and in southeastern Lake county. Gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be possible on the ridges. Poor RH recoveries are expected during this time. This will elevate fire weather danger in southeastern Lake county.

Wednesday and Thursday the upper level slowly moves off to the and slowly weakens. This will diminish the winds, although inland temperatures will remain in the upper 60s to low 70s. At the coast the lighter winds could bring some stratus as early as Thursday morning as the offshore flow weakens. This may need to be added to the forecast once it gets closer.

Late in the week and into the weekend high pressure is expected to build into the area. This will gradually increase temperatures Thursday through Sunday which will see highs in the low 80s across the interior. Closer to the coast there is more uncertainty in the temperatures and there is the potential for some stratus with the light winds. /MKK /EYS


AVIATION. VFR conditions prevailed at the terminals through midday, with the exception of KACV where light winds allowed some pesky stratus patches to drift over from Humboldt Bay and become pinched along the immediate coast. Daytime heating won out as northerly winds began increasing for the afternoon. Included some wind shear in the TAFs for the northerly and northeasterly winds aloft. Looked most pronounced at KACV, and more marginal elsewhere. The dry northerly flow should prevent much stratus or fog from developing tonight; however, could see a similar migration of patchy low clouds from Humboldt Bay to KACV in the early morning hours for very brief MVFR CIGs and VIS. Gusty northerly winds will develop once again tomorrow, with more northeasterly flow aloft tomorrow night.

MARINE. Gale warnings continue through across the outer waters while winds are expected to reach near gale in the inners late this afternoon. An upper-level low will begin to drop down from the north and nudge west tomorrow night, and this will begin a weakening trend through the first half of this week, with each successive afternoon's pulse in strength weakening with each day. Extended the current marine products in the afternoon package to cover the ongoing hazardous seas that will remain overnight as the gale temporally eases a bit, before cranking back up tomorrow. Seas will continue to be primarily locally generated for the foreseeable future, responding to fluctuations in nearshore northerly winds. Thus, seas will pulse each evening as well, following a similar weakening trend through the first half of this week. The winds look to weaken further late week as the upper-low fades and the gradient becomes diffuse. A well-defined ridge axis is looking likely to move overhead late this week, potentially keeping local winds down through the weekend.

EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . None. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS . Hazardous Seas Warning until 4 AM PDT Wednesday for PZZ450.

Gale Warning until 4 AM PDT Wednesday for PZZ470-475.

Small Craft Advisory until 4 AM PDT Wednesday for PZZ455.
