| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 1213pm PDT Tuesday Oct 13 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... * Another cold morning is expected this morning with areas of frost and freezing potential. * A warming and drying trend is expected to impact the area through the week into the weekend, peaking Thursday and Friday. * Forecast confidence is increasing on a cold front arriving either late this weekend or early next week. Synopsis Clear skies and seasonable temperatures are expected today with another chilly morning expected for the inland valleys. A warming and drying trend is expected through the week. A frontal system is probable late this weekend or early next week. An upper level ridge continues to build over the region as the upper level trough that ushered in the colder air this weekend continues to move eastward over the Grand Canyon today. This developing high pressure will cause a steady warm up inland from seasonable temperatures today to above normal temps by the end of the work week. Overnight calming will result in cold air flowing down the terrain and settling in the valleys. Freezing temperatures were recorded in Trinity County last night, and a slight warming is possible through tomorrow morning with frost potential for the coldest valleys. A warming and drying trend will continue through the week peaking Thursday and Friday. Relative humidities are expected to be <20% for Trinity, Lake, and inland areas of Mendocino County. NBM data probabilities shows around a 30-40% of temperatures >90degF for Ukiah. Models are still holding strong on an incoming cold front arriving this weekend which could bring rain and strong winds to the area. Details on this system will become more clear as the week goes. DS Marine Moderate to fresh northerly breezes are expected in the outer waters today. WInds will remain much lighter for the inner waters with max gusts up to 15-20kts during the heat of the afternoon. Small craft conditions continue for the outer waters due to decaying short period seas mixing with a mid-period NW swell. Through the week, short period seas will continue to lower while this NW swell eases even slower. This weekend, a large NW swell is expected to impact the coastal waters as a cold front enter the area. DS Fire Weather Multiple days of cool but dry air has lowered ERC values. Much weaker, terrain-driven winds and an increasingly stable atmosphere in the coming days will help greatly reduce overall fire danger. However, dry conditions are expected through the week (around 20% RH each day) with worsening overnight recoveries through Thursday as midslope thermal belts develop. Smoke transport will also worsen through the week for any fires that do start. More moist air is expected to push across the area this weekend with a potential for very breezy conditions in Mendocino and Lake county late this weekend into early next week.
