AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
353 PM PDT Sun Jun 28 2026

..SYNOPSIS...Seasonably warm and dry conditions will build through
midweek with gusty north wind along shore each afternoon.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

-Gusty north winds each afternoon along shore through mid week with
gusts near 30 mph.

-Gradual warming and drying trend peaking Tuesday.

-Potential drizzle late week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will has started to form over the
eastern pacific and align with shore. This has helped create strong,
persistent north wind along shore and across exposed areas of the
interior. Coastal headlands and peaks have seen gusts in excess of
30 mph this afternoon. Temperatures have also warmed for the
interior under clear skies with high temperatures in the low 80s.
Gusty north winds will persist near shore all through the week. High
temperatures will peak around Monday and Tuesday with the warmest
interior valleys reaching near 90. Models suggest a weak, night
marine layer may form in protected coastal areas such as Humboldt
Bay, but gusty north wind will help quickly mix out any clouds each
day.

Looking at the extended forecast, most ensemble models show a quick
moving trough clipping the area around next Friday, though compared
to previous forecasts, most models now place it further north. As
the trough approaches, more clouds will build in, helping to
slightly cool conditions once again. A stronger marine layer is
likely along shore around Thursday ahead of the trough. If the
enough moisture can build along shore, another round of drizzle is
likely, though chances for any wetting rain remain low (less than
15%) and mostly north of the area. Stronger high pressure and
warming is likely behind the front. /JHW


&&

.AVIATION...Strong north winds have once again helped maintain VFR
conditions all day today with the wind itself being the main
aviation concern close to shore. There is slight potential for some
MVFR to IFR ceilings (30% chance) this evening around Humboldt Bay,
but most models maintain VFR conditions all night and through
tomorrow. /JHW

&

.MARINE...Near gale conditions have built in the outer waters today
with very steep short period seas quickly building in response.
Winds will continue to creep upwards through Monday with more
widespread gale conditions in the outer waters. Strong north winds
and steep short period seas up to 12 feet will also push closer to
shore in the inner waters by Monday afternoon. Hazardous and gale
conditions will be prolonged, most likely persisting through at
least Thursday when a very mild reprieve is expected. /JHW
