| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 357am PST Thu Jan 21 2021 Synopsis An initially dry airmass will moisten today as a weak front approaches from the northwest. Light shower activity will subsequently spread across northwest California this evening into Friday. Thereafter, a day of dry weather appears likely Saturday, followed by widespread moderate precipitation Sunday and Monday. Additional precipitation will be possible through the middle of next week. An upper-level shortwave trough currently located offshore from Vancouver Island, BC is forecast to dig southward today...eventually moving across NWRN CA late tonight. As that occurs, light shower activity is forecast to spread across the EKA CWA this evening and then linger through part of Friday. Large- scale subsidence is then forecast to develop across the area on Saturday, which will be accompanied by clearing skies, chilly morning temperatures, valley fog and frost, and cool afternoon highs. Model guidance shows another upper wave amplifying across the west coast on Sunday. Widespread moderate precipitation appears probable with that feature. In addition, freezing levels will reside near 2000 feet during much of Sunday morning through the evening. Thus, accumulating snowfall will be possible at highway pass levels in Trinity County. Upper troughing is forecast to persist across the western United States during Monday, though the shortwave details are uncertain at this time. In general, showery weather appears likely during early portions of next week. Additional precipitation will be possible during the middle of next week as well, and cold midlevel temperatures will support potentially impactful snowfall as far west as Berry Summit on Highway 299 in Humboldt County. Garner Marine Winds are expected to remain light near the coast through about midday today. Winds then shift to the southwest ahead of an approaching low this afternoon and evening, then quickly turn northerly on Friday after it passes overhead. Advisory-level northerlies then persist in its wake through at least the first half of this weekend, where a few gale force gusts may be possible in the southern outers on Saturday. Nearshore winds may briefly weaken late Saturday, however widespread northerlies should return Sunday through early next week. Besides a mystery pulse of mid-period NW energy early this morning, a smaller WNW swell is expected to decay through the day today. Another northwest swell is expected to fill in tomorrow, with current guidance bringing it in just as local northerlies winds and seas pick up heading into the weekend. Seas are expected to remain elevated through the weekend into early next week, with combined seas nearing 18 ft as a solid burst of NW energy enters the waters behind a weak front on Sunday. /TDJ .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
