| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 448am PDT Tuesday September 8 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... * Above normal temperatures likely Tuesday through Thursday, including along the coast. * Locally elevated fire danger for the higher elevations Tuesday and Wednesday. Synopsis Much warmer temperatures are likely Tuesday through Thursday, with warm temperatures even at the coast. Breezy offshore wind will bring locally elevated fire danger Tuesday and Wednesday. Cooler temperatures return late this week into the weekend. Light offshore flow is mostly keeping coastal stratus from reforming, and what does form around Humboldt Bay will quickly erode into Tuesday morning. Building high pressure Tuesday through Thursday will bring much warmer than normal temperatures, both to the interior and the coast. On Tuesday, temperatures are forecast to be in the high 80s to the mid 90s for most interior valleys, while the immediate coast could break 70. Wednesday and Thursday, the ridge strengthens, bringing near triple digit temperatures to most of the interior valleys. This includes valleys close to the coast which may not have experienced temperatures this high so far this year, including Garberville and the Eel River valley. Interior areas will see widespread Moderate HeatRisk which corresponds to a moderate risk for heat-releated illness to those without proper cooling. Drink plenty of water and stay safe out there! Coastal areas also continue to warm as offshore flow continues to inhibit coastal stratus formation with 70s possible at the immediate coast and 80s possible just a few miles inland. Subtropical moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Marie arriving Wednesday will complicate the forecast somewhat. Instability continues to be modeled near zero with a less than 5% chance for MUCAPE over 100 J/kg. Still, cloud cover could bring slightly lower high temperatures than currently expected Wednesday, along with a few virga showers. Troughing rebuilds late this week into the weekend, returning near normal temperatures and coastal stratus by Friday. By this weekend, much of the interior is forecast to be in the 70s and 80s with the coast in the low 60s. A weak front moving north of the area may bring a few light rain showers to Del Norte County this weekend, but chances remain low (around 20%). JB/JJW Marine Northerly winds and resulting steep seas peaked Monday evening, but steep seas will continue to propagate into the inner waters. Both winds and seas ease Tuesday as the pressure gradient weakens. Breezy northerly winds return Thursday and are likely to continue south of Cape Mendocino through the weekend. Along with wind driven seas, a long period south swell from Hurricane Marie at around 3 to 5 ft will persist through the week. JB/JJW Fire Weather Much warmer and drier conditions are expected as high pressure rebuilds this week. High temperatures in the interior valleys will climb in the high 90s to just over 100 Tuesday through Thursday. Afternoon relative humidities will fall into the teens or single digits in the eastern portions of the area. Offshore flow developing overnight will result in poor overnight recoveries for the higher elevations and winds may be locally breezy. Near-critical to locally critical fire weather conditions are possible in the highest elevations of Del Norte, Trinity, and Humboldt Counties Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning with these breezy winds. Troughing late this week into the weekend will return cooler temperatures and a deeper marine layer. .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...
