Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Eureka CA 526am PST Monday Jan 13 2025 Synopsis Interior gusty northeast winds through this afternoon, followed by a weak offshore flow tonight. Dry weather is expected to continue with above normal high temperatures and chilly nigheights during the next 7 days. High pressure is building back quickly into the Pacific Northwest and Northern California as a shortwave trough has ejected southward early this morning. Breezy to locally windy northeast winds continues over the eastern portion of Lake County as a shortwave trough is riding southward through central California early this morning. Gusts from 35-45 mph has been observed mainly over the ridges, with locally up to 50 mph in isolated higher terrain. The pressure gradient is forecast to gradually relaxes throughout the day today, with weaker light east-northeast winds tonight. A Rex-block 500mb flow pattern will developed today as the aforementioned trough continue to driving southwest and a high pressure builds over the Pacific NW. As resultant, dry weather conditions prevail with above normal high temperatures and cold overnight/morning temperatures this week. Ensemble clusters and deterministic models are in a good agreement with a high pressure dominating the synoptic pattern through the extended period, remaining off the West Coast through early next week. Offshore winds are expected to increase again late this week and weekend along the coastal headlands and interior ridges. With the increasing offshore flow, a cooler/drier airmass with mostly clear skies will result in freezing temperatures even for the coastal areas. NBM 25th percentile (75% chance) indicated min temperatures in the low to mid 30's for the coastal areas this weekend, while for the interior valleys lows in the mid 20's to low 30's. /ZVS Marine Winds are rapidly diminishing as the coastal pressure gradient weakens - gusts 20 to 30 knots may linger through mid morning before dropping off from the inner to outer waters. Wave heigheights are still elevated in response to these winds, but have been tamped down by the arrival of a long period westerly swell. Much calmer conditions are expected tonight through late week as a high pressure ridge moves into the PNW. Weak northerlies and seas 5 to 8 feet will persist through Thursday before a deep interior trough brings the potential for elevated winds Friday into the weekend. Another long period NW swell will fill into the waters early Tuesday. A Beach Hazards Statement has been issued for threat of sneaker waves Tuesday and Wednesday. .BEACH HAZARDS...A brief period for threat of sneaker waves is possible this afternoon as winds diminish and a long period swell (15 to 17 seconds) becomes the dominant wave group. An additional long period swell will create a longer duration sneaker wave threat Tuesday through Wednesday, with much calmer seas posing a greater risk of unexpected waves. A Beach Hazards Statement has been issued early Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon as the swell period holds at 15 to 18 seconds. Remember to remain attentive while at the beach -especially steep beaches- and to never turn your back to ocean. .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA... Beach Hazards Statement from late tonight through Wednesday afternoon for CAZ101-103-104-109. Wind Advisory until noon PST today for CAZ114-115. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...
