AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
150 AM PST Wed Dec 3 2025
.SYNOPSIS...High pressure continues to build over the area,
bringing offshore flow and generally clear skies through Thursday
along with night and morning valley fog. Light rain is possible
mainly in Humboldt and Del Norte counties over the weekend.
&&
KEY MESSAGES:
* King Tides from December 3rd-7th may lead to minor coastal
flooding in low-lying areas mainly around Humboldt Bay.
* Frost is possible Wednesday and Thursday morning in the colder
valleys and along the coast.
* Dry and seasonably cool weather expected through Friday,
followed by a chance of rain over the weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...High pressure over the area is bringing fairly
robust offshore flow to the area. East winds will be breezy on
the ridges both Wednesday and Thursday mornings. These are
expected to be the strongest Wednesday morning. Gusts to 30 to 35
mph are possible on some of the higher peaks, especially in
eastern Lake county. These may mix down to some of the northeast
to southwest oriented valleys. This is expected to limit fog
development and may allow frost to form in the some of the valleys
that haven't frozen yet. So have issued a frost advisory for a
number of these areas. It is still possible low clouds will be
more widespread than expected, but for now it looks like frost is
likely. Wednesday, another dry day is expected. Any valleys that
do fog up will likely be slow to clear out and warm up during the
day. Wednesday night into Thursday morning is expected to see
lighter winds aloft, but the air is expected to be drier. This
would make it likely to be slightly colder Thursday morning.
Thursday night into Friday morning a shortwave coming over the
ridge is expected to start bringing more cloudiness to the area.
This will likely keep temperatures warmer. It is possible this
could bring some drizzle to the northern coastal areas, but
confidence is low on this. Friday afternoon looks like the first
chance for some light rain and this may continue through the
weekend. The big question is how far south this rain will come.
The current forecast keeps most of it in Del Norte county with
less than a quarter of an inch in northern Humboldt county. Del
Norte count may see over a half inch. However this is a small
system and a slight shift farther north or south could really
change the rainfall totals. This is highlight in the 75th and 25th
percentiles from the NBM. The 25th percentile for Crescent City
shows 0.2 inches while the 75th percentile shows 1.1 inches. In
Eureka and much of Humboldt and Trinity counties those amounts
range from 0.00 to 0.5 inches. Farther south and east in southern
Trinity, Mendocino and Lake counties even the high ends amounts
are less than a quarter inch. Even if the heavier amounts make it
farther south, there aren't expected to be many impacts. MKK/EYS
&&
.AVIATION...Offshore flow continues to prevent coastal
stratus from forming, with VFR likely to prevail through the night.
Shallow ground fog could bring brief LIFR impacts before sunrise,
but impacts are expected to be limited. Interior valleys, including
UKI, could see stratus and fog again near sunrise, but confidence is
low. Any fog that does form should clear out by mid to late morning.
Winds could be breezy again in the afternoon at CEC, with gusts up
to 20 kts. JB
&&
.MARINE...North winds peak tonight with gale force gusts likely for
the outer waters. These will ease slightly into Wednesday morning
and push away from the coast. Still, gusts of up to 30 kts are
likely through Thursday morning. Steep wind waves are being observed
alongside these winds, which is combining with a decaying mid-period
westerly swell of around 7 ft. Combined seas of 10-14 ft are likely
tonight with will gradually ease to 6-10 ft by Wednesday evening.
Winds and seas ease further Friday, with the main exception being
the expansion fan south of Cape Mendocino. Conditions continue to
improve going into the weekend as high pressure weakens. JB
&&
.COASTAL FLOODING...High astronomical tides are predicted from
through Sunday for Northwest California. Water levels remain nearly
a half a foot above astronomical tides inside Humboldt Bay and this
may cause minor flooding starting Wednesday, so a Coastal Flood
Advisory has been issued for Humboldt Bay. The tides continue to get
higher over the next several days and additional flooding is
expected around Humbodlt Bay. Outside of Humboldt Bay the tide
gauges are showing a slight negative anomaly as the swell continues
to diminish. At this point we aren't expecting coastal flooding
outside of Humboldt Bay, but this will need to be watched as it gets
closer. MKK

.KEY MESSAGES...
1. Fog development will continue overnight into Wednesday
morning across the San Joaquin Valley.
2. A dry disturbance will introduce increasing winds across the
deserts and mountain peaks on Wednesday and Thursday; cold
morning lows also anticipated for the high Sierra.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Low stratus cloud cover continues over the central valley this
afternoon after lifting from the valley surface. Stagnant and
subsiding air aloft will cause rising moisture from the valley
to settle in the low levels of the atmosphere, gradually
improving visibilities at the surface. However, a knock-on
effect will need to occur to remove this stratus cloud deck
where warmer surface temperatures cause the clouds to erode,
which will in turn lead to more of the surface receiving
sunlight, causing warmer temperatures, and so on.Clearer skies
yesterday came about with help from stronger low level winds
mixing out the saturated air, which will likely need to happen
again today, given that the persistence of the stratus deck has
extended further than model guidance indicated. Without
clearing, we can expect this cloud deck to continue into
tomorrow morning.
This being said, a shortwave upper level trough is expected to
make its way through the Great Basin this afternoon through
early Thursday morning, with the vorticity maximum of the trough
tracking due north/south over central California. The vortmax
and increased winds at the center of the trough’s axis may allow
for enough low level mixing to occur over the valley areas to
cause clearer conditions to prevail into Wednesday, however
these elements will need to extend into the lower levels in
order to do so. More definitive impacts from the incoming trough
will be seen in the higher elevations of the region. Cold, dry
northerly air will be entrained into this area, causing
dangerously cold conditions Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Minimum temperatures above 9000 feet are expected to approach 10
degrees Fahrenheit, but with the added effect of the wind,
apparent temperatures are projected to fall into the negatives.
Due to this, a Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for the
Sierra Nevada above 9000 feet.
Starting in the late week, more benign conditions will return
due to the influence of a high pressure ridge over the eastern
Pacific. The high will direct more significant weather further
north and east of central California, while prolonging the
stagnant conditions currently observed over the region.
&&
.AVIATION...
IFR/LIFR visibilities are expected at all TAF sites for the next
24 hours. Between 12Z and 19Z Wednesday, VLIFR conditions have
a 40% to 60% chance of occurring in dense fog. Conditions are
expected to see brief improvements into MVFR conditions between
22Z Wednesday and 03Z Thursday.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
326 AM PST Wed Dec 3 2025
.SYNOPSIS...03/119 AM.
A moderate Santa Ana wind event will bring gusty northeast winds
to portions of southern California Wednesday morning through
Thursday. Cold overnight low temperatures will occur through the
work week, coldest Wednesday night into Thursday morning in wind
protected areas. A significant warming trend will begin this
weekend and peak next Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 to 20 degrees
above normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...03/214 AM.
A cold upper level trough is passing through the southern portion
of the Great Basin this morning, creating thick cirrostratus over
the region but no precipitation locally. The marine layer has
jumped up over 2500 feet and pressure gradients to the east have
gone from 2-3mb offshore to over 5mb onshore. Some stratus is
trying to develop but the thick high clouds are making that
difficult to form and also see from space.
The main story for today and Thursday is the rapid shift back to
offshore and the expected development of the next round of Santa
Ana winds across portions of Ventura and LA Counties and the Santa
Lucias. Given the existence of a 2500 foot marine layer there
remains still quite a bit of uncertainty when the northeast winds
will begin and how strong they will be. High res models seem to be
a little too strong for today given the current conditions,
especially near the coast, while confidence in increasing winds is
certainly higher inland and especially in the mountains. The most
likely outcome is for most of the advisory level winds to stay up
in the mountains today while lower elevations have breezy but sub
advisory level winds by mid to late morning. However, there's a
20% chance of much lighter winds closer to the coast today.
Going into tonight and Thursday with zero marine layer influence
and more favorable easterly flow aloft the chances for 30-50mph
winds are much higher and would likely include gusty winds out to
Catalina Island as well, especially tonight.
This is again a fairly cool Santa Ana event so high temperatures
will top out in the lower 70s, warmest at the coast and coolest
across the far interior where highs will be in the 50s. And
overnight lows in wind protected locations will be quite cold,
hence the flurry of frost and freeze products out.
By Friday morning gradients will have swung back to onshore which
will result in cooling at the coast but warming inland. Overall
highs will be near or slightly above seasonal norms.
.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...03/212 AM.
Strong high pressure will be building rapidly over the eastern
Pacific this weekend and especially the first half of next week.
500mb heights are expected to exceed the 95th percentile and with
increasing offshore flow, particularly Monday through Wednesday,
temperatures locally are expected to be 10-20 degrees above
normal. Local historical guidance suggests widespread highs in
the 80s across coast and valleys with about a 20% chance of lower
90s. There will be some northerly flow developing Sunday night
through Tuesday that will bring dry and gusty winds to north
exposed areas which includes most of the mountains as well as
southern Santa Barbara County.
Temperatures will start cooling next Thursday and Friday but still
well above normal.
&&
.AVIATION...03/1126Z.
Around 09Z, there was a deep moist layer up to around 3400 feet
with a inversion above up to 6500 feet.
Low to moderate confidence in the current forecast through 18Z as
ceilings could form rapidly and dissipate. Moderate confidence in
the forecast thereafter.
KLAX...There is a 60 percent chance of MVFR to VFR conditions with
ceilings at or below 6000 feet through at least 14Z, then VFR
conditions should develop through 17Z. There is a 30 percent
chance of east winds between 7 and 10 knots through 19Z. There is
a moderate chance of moderate wind shear after 06Z Thursday.
KBUR...There is a 60 percent chance of MVFR to VFR conditions with
ceilings at or below 6000 feet through at least 14Z, then VFR
conditions should develop through 16Z. There is a moderate to
high chance of moderate wind shear through 18Z, and again after
05Z Thursday.
&&
.MARINE...03/316 AM.
Moderate confidence in the current forecast. Slightly higher
confidence in the forecast for seas versus winds.
For the waters southwest through northwest of the Channel Islands
beyond 10 NM offshore of the Central Coast and outside the
southern California bight, there is a 40 to 60 percent chance of
Small Craft Advisory (SCA) conditions this morning, diminishing to
a 30 to 50 percent chance this afternoon through Thursday morning.
Winds and seas should drop below SCA levels Thursday afternoon
through Friday morning, then there is a 40 to 60 percent chance of
SCA level winds between Friday afternoon and Saturday night,
highest from near Point Conception south to San Nicolas Island.
Inside the southern California bight and for the nearshore waters
along the Central Coast out to 10 NM offshore, there is a 30 to 50
percent chance of gusty northeast to east winds through early
this afternoon, increasing to 40 to 60 percent chance overnight
tonight and into Thursday morning, highest between Rincon Point to
Santa Monica and into the San Pedro Channel. There is a 40-50
percent chance that east winds could affect east facing harbors on
Thursday morning. Winds and seas should drop below SCA levels
Thursday afternoon and remain below SCA levels through the
weekend.

National Weather Service Sacramento CA
1249 PM PST Tue Dec 2 2025
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Periods of clouds, mist, or fog continue in the Central Valley
for the next few mornings.
- Breezy north to east winds Wednesday into Thursday, strongest
in the western Valley and Delta.
- Weak system brushes by the area this weekend, bringing the
chance for showers across Shasta County. Dry weather continues
elsewhere for the foreseeable future.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
...Tonight - Wednesday...
Morning fog and stratus have begin to break up early this
afternoon again. Latest hi-res guidance attempts to clear out the
entire Sac and northern San Joaquin valleys by this evening
before sunset. We anticipate another round of patchy fog/low
stratus Wednesday morning with best chances Sacramento southward
and still breaking up during late morning, early afternoon hours.
Chances lower north of Sacramento due to increasing north winds in
the Valley set to develop after around midnight tonight that may
keep the worst of the fog from developing. By 4 AM tomorrow, we
can expect north gusts 20 to 30 mph along the west side of the
Valley along I-5 and have those winds persist into the early
afternoon before tapering off Wednesday night. The Delta region
can expect slightly higher winds closer to 25 to 35 mph with
strongest winds early Wednesday morning. NBM probabilities for
Wednesday show a 40-70% chance of winds greater than 35 mph for
the western portions of Solano, Yolo, and Colusa counties. Lastly
east wind gusts over the Sierra are expected on Wednesday with
gusts up to 30 to 40 mph and strongest Wednesday late morning.
...Thursday - Saturday...
After the quasi-inside slider pattern leaves the area on Thursday,
mild and dry conditions prevail with seasonable temperatures and
foggy/low stratus mornings. Ridging looks to hold along the CA
Coast that keeps the forecast muted from much active weather.
A weak shortwave on Saturday slides from the Pacific NW eastward
that will give a nonzero chance of rain over northern Shasta
County with amounts up to a quarter inch but no impacts are
expected at this time.
...Sunday - Early Next Week...
Dry weather continues late this weekend into early next week. The
next hint at a potential pattern change comes by the following
weekend but we'll see how that develops over the next week or so.
&&
.AVIATION...
Gradually improving ceilings and visibility across the Central
Valley are expected this afternoon and evening, with conditions
back to VFR. Some BF/FG and low stratus for most sites return
tonight after 08Z-14Z with a potential for period of IFR/LIFR
cigs and patchy fog, especially from Sacramento southward.
Northerly winds should limit fog formation to the north in the
Valley. Sustained winds with gusts to 20 to 25 kt are possible
11-18Z Wednesday for the northern Sacramento Valley and to 30kt
for the Sierra, generally less than 10 kts for TAF sites elsewhere
through Wednesday afternoon.

.SYNOPSIS...
The marine layer has deepened to around 4500 feet with a few light
showers possible near the San Diego County coast early this
morning. Weak offshore lower-level flow will develop today and
continue into Friday morning. Northeast winds along and below the
coastal slopes of the mountains will mostly gust to 35 mph or
less, except to 45 mph near the Cajon Pass and near the coastal
slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains. The coast will warm briefly on
Thursday before cooling slightly for Friday and Saturday while
inland areas will warm steadily for Thursday through early next
week with high temperatures next Tuesday as much as 12 to 18
degrees above average for the valleys.
&&
.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
.SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)...
The marine layer has deepened to 4500 to 5000 feet with coastal
low clouds extending well inland and onto the coastal slopes of
the mountains. Radar has shown some weak returns over the inner
coastal waters of San Diego County moving locally inland along the
coast. There have been a couple of locations in coastal San Diego
County that have received 0.01 inch of rainfall with sprinkles
possible in some San Diego County coastal areas early this morning.
The lower-level flow will go weakly offshore today with weak
offshore flow continuing into Friday morning. Model guidance has
trended weaker with the offshore flow and associated northeast
winds. Northeast winds along and below the coastal slopes of the
mountains will mostly gust to 35 mph or less, except to 45 mph
near the Cajon Pass and near the coastal slopes of the Santa Ana
Mountains.
High temperatures today will be cooler for inland areas, as much
as 10 to 15 degrees cooler for the higher elevations in the
mountains. High temperatures for the coast and valleys will warm a
few to around 5 degrees on Thursday, then cool a few degrees near
the coast on Friday as high temperatures for inland areas warm as
much as 5 to 10 degrees for the mountains and high desert.
&&
.LONG TERM (Saturday through Tuesday)...
There will be high pressure aloft over the eastern Pacific off
the California coast with dry generally northwest flow aloft
across southern California. There will be a gradual warming trend
for Saturday through Tuesday. High temperatures on Saturday will
range from the mid 60s near the coast to upper 60s to mid 70s for
the valleys with the 70s for the lower deserts. With the warming,
high temperatures next Tuesday will be as much as 12 to 18
degrees above average for the valleys. High temperatures for next
Tuesday will range from the lower 70s near the coast to the upper
70s to mid 80s for the valleys with the lower 80s for the lower
deserts.

Issued at 141 AM PST Wed Dec 3 2025
(Today and tonight)
Satellite imagery this morning shows stratus in the valleys
surrounding the Bay Area and the interior Central Coast; however,
the growth of the stratus is slowly getting cut off as the offshore
pressure gradient tightens bringing in drier air to the region.
Offshore winds have already started to ramp up for the North Bay
mountains, with the highest points in Mayacamas and Sonoma mountains
peaking around 50-55mph. Winds will continue for the rest of the Bay
Area and Santa Lucia mountains, peaking by mid morning and the
gradually decreasing as we head into the afternoon and evening.
Given the earlier rains this season, fire weather concerns remain
low due to moist fuels.

The extended forecast remains persistent, with quiet weather
returning for Thursday and lasting into next week. Ensemble
forecasts show mainly upper level ridging, with some quasi-zonal
flow at times, holding into mid to late next week. High temperatures
are seasonal for the start of the forecast period, and increase to
above average for this time of year through mid next week.
