AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
108 PM PST Sat Nov 29 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A mid period westerly swell will bring a moderate
risk for hazardous beach conditions through Saturday afternoon.
A much more energetic westerly swell will bring a high risk for
sneaker waves Monday through Tuesday. Otherwise, dry and
seasonably cool weather is forecast through next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Low stratocumulus cloud cover has been diminishing
this afternoon. Visible satellite imagery showed a large mass of
reinforcing low clouds offshore poised to move onshore by early
this evening. Interior fog and low clouds have been a regular
occurrence for the last several nights and see no reason not to
expect the same tonight. Early morning temperatures have varied
widely with some locations at or below freezing and other areas
in the mid 40s and lower 50s. A widespread freeze with at least
50% coverage occurred across Lake County early this morning.
Thus, we have suspended issuing frost advisories and freeze warnings
for the rest of winter for southern Lake county. Other forecast areas
in southern Mendocino County and coastal areas will continue to have
a wide range of morning temperatures over next couple of mornings
due to a combination of cloud cover, high humidity and wind. Light
winds may also drive apparent temperatures below 30F for a few hours
before dawn in locations that drop into the lower to mid 30s.
A shortwave trough will drop southeast over the Pacific NW
tonight and into the Great Basin on Sunday. Band of above normal
PWATS skirting near the Oregon border may yield a few sprinkles
and elevated returns aloft tonight as multiple high resolution
models depict. Nearly all CAMS are dry, however. Surface pressure
gradients will tighten up in the wake of this shortwave on Sunday
and breezy northerly winds are forecast to develop over the
coastal headlands and exposed ridges by Sunday evening. Offshore
winds should follow Sun night and Mon with perhaps gusts to 25-35
mph over the ridges Sunday evening. The strongest winds will most
likely occur over the eastern portion of Lake County where gusts
from 25 to 35 mph are possible over wind prone ridges by Monday.
Frost and freezing morning temperatures will also be possible for
coastal areas if the clouds do not reform and dewpoints dry out
near the ocean in response to steady east winds. Current guidance
indicate morning minimums early Monday above 36F for much of the
North Coast. Localized pockets of frost may occur (a 10% chance).
Another dry shortwave trough will follow a similar track Mon night
and Tue. This trough will dig from NE to SW across the area by
Tue and then offshore the central and southern Cal coast by mid
week. There is an outside chance for a few fleeting light showers
or sprinkles for Del Norte and mountains of Trinity Mon night or
Tue morning, but it will not be a significant precipitation maker
for our forecast area. Once again winds look to be the main impact
with these inside slider troughs. Blustery northerly coastal
winds are expected with this second trough. ECMWF ensemble mean
peak wind gusts are much higher for coastal low lands on Tue.
Gusts around 20-30 mph will be possible. E-NE winds will also
develop Tue night-Wed for the higher terrain and perhaps Lake
County. E-NE wind gusts to 35-45 mph will be possible over the
ridges. Gusts to 50-55 mph are on the limbs of the distribution
(95th percentile) over the high mountain peaks in the King Range.
Now the air mass is not forecast to be exceptionally cold by mid
next week either. With dew points in the 20s, calm winds in the
valleys and clear skies overnight, frost and freezing temperatures
will once again be a forecast challenge for areas that have not
had a freeze yet, especially for coastal areas. Cold weather
advisories for wind chill may also be a factor with winds around
around 5-15 mph and minimum temperatures in the lower to mid 30s.
Massive 500mb ridge appears to flatten out toward the latter
portion of next week and into next weekend. WPC ensemble clusters
do show about an even split (50%) of clusters that are "wetter"
(at least for the North Coast) than the grand ensemble mean. The
ensemble mean is by no stretch very wet with 0.10 inches of rain
in 24 hours ending 4 PM Sat for mostly Del Norte. It could be wet
or it could be dry or both. Stay tuned.
&&
.AVIATION...(18Z TAFS)... MVFR to short periods of IFR ceilings
have persisted for coastal terminals into this afternoon. A brief
period of VFR conditions may be likely for coastal terminals. A weak
trough passing to the north may help lift ceilings tonight, but will
also promote onshore flow conducive to marine layer formation. With
those two competing forces, ensembles continue to show uncertain and
mixed conditions, but with little potential for widespread, disruptive
LIFR conditions. Low clouds and fog in interior valleys were generally
stubborn to dissipate with KUKI just clearing out by late morning.
Interior valley fog is possible again tonight. /J(H/L)W
&&
.MARINE...Weak to moderate northerly winds have built in all across
the waters. Northerly winds will continue to increase in the outer
waters with gusts 25 to 30 knots in the southern outer waters Sunday
gradually spreading northwards. North winds and steep short period
seas will stay restricted to the outer waters and will briefly
weaken again around Monday. There is strong agreement, however, that
north winds will push back closer to shore around mid next week with
periods of strong gale force gusts.
Aside from the winds, a minor mid period westerly swell will build
up to around 8 feet late Saturday into Sunday, but this swell will
quickly decay. Another, much longer period swell will build around
Monday into Tuesday up to around 12 feet. Neither swell will be
particularly steep, but will dominate the inner water sea state
where short period seas are calm. /JHW
&&
.BEACH HAZARDS...A series of mid period westerly swells will
continue to impact the waters through the weekend. The next swell
will build up to 8 feet at 14 seconds beginning Saturday afternoon
into Sunday. With mostly calm short period seas, the forerunners of
this swell especially will pose a moderate sneaker wave risk
Saturday evening with unexpected and inconsistent surf on area
beaches Saturday afternoon.
A second, stronger sneaker wave risk is possible as longer period
swell builds Monday into Tuesday. The very long period of this swell
up to 22 seconds will make waves particularly deceiving with the
swell likely to build in rapidly with little warning. Short period
seas building closer to shore will lessen the overall risk by around
mid week. /JHW

.UPDATE...
Updated Aviation and Air Quality Issues Sections.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1. Stratus will continue to hang around through most of
Saturday.
2. Trough slides to the east late Saturday through Tuesday.
Winds increase but will bring no precipitation to the area.
3. A second trough slides down Tuesday through Thursday.
Precipitation chances increase for this trough.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Stratus has continued to hang around which kept temperatures
cold again yesterday. However, ensembles show the ridge
crumbling and breaking as two troughs are in play. One of them
becomes a cutoff low later today but will spin offshore and move
away towards Hawaii. However, the other trough we have been
keeping an eye on will also begin sliding in later today through
the weekend. This trough will help increase wind gusts by a few
miles per hour but not to Advisory level or cause Mono winds for
our area. This trough moves east quickly and will not bring any
rain or snow to our area.
The next chance of rain and snow is another trough which slides
down late Tuesday through Thursday. However, models diverge
around Thursday as to whether this trough will become a cutoff
low or move east. Latest probabilities have a 5 percent chance
or less of an inch of snow in the Sierra Nevada with this storm
and a 20 to 25 percent chance of any rain accumulating in the
Valley Thursday into Friday.
&&
.AVIATION...
IFR to MVFR ceilings and visibilities will persist in most
Valley locations through 18Z Sunday. However, after 18Z,
conditions are expected to improve although there is a 40 to 60
percent chance of ceilings at or below 1,000 feet until 21Z.
After 21Z, there is a 35 to 45 percent chance of ceilings below
3,000 feet.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
134 PM PST Sat Nov 29 2025
.SYNOPSIS...29/106 PM.
A cooling trend will continue through the weekend as onshore flow
reestablishes, then the flow pattern will switch to offshore flow
Monday and bring warmer temperatures. Gusty Santa Ana winds will
be possible across the Southland early Monday. A cooling trend
will develop for Tuesday and Wednesday as a storm system will
approaches the region. There is a chance of rain Wednesday
through Thursday, mainly south of Point of Conception.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-MON)...29/130 PM.
A shortwave ridge of high pressure aloft is starting to breakdown
as an upper-level trough of low pressure off the California coast
digs south offshore. Broader troughing aloft across much of the
Western States will bring a cooling trend as a colder air mass
from Canada pipes air from the north into the region through
Sunday. A return of low clouds and fog is expected tonight and
into Sunday morning as onshore flow will remain intact through
tonight.
As the trough axis slides by to the south, an offshore flow
pattern will develop. A colder air mass in the Great Basin will
set up high pressure near the surface and tighten the surface
gradient between the low pressure system offshore. There is a
moderate-to-high (30-50 percent) chance that advisory level
northeast winds will develop across the region between Sunday
night and Monday morning. The highest chance of gusty offshore
winds is placed with Santa Ana winds across the Southland, but
gusty Santa Lucia winds in San Luis Obispo County cannot be
ruled out. EPS ensemble wind gust means lean toward advisory
levels at typical sites like KCMA and K3A6, while multi-model
high-resolution ensembles fall inline with this idea. A wind
advisory for gusty Santa Ana winds was collaborated with
surrounding offices, but given the uncertainty, the best approach
was to wait and let a few more model runs handle it.
With offshore flow pattern slated to develop and the trough likely
to pull farther offshore, a warmer weather pattern will likely
develop across the region for Monday as compressional heating will
take place. As a result, a dry and warm day should be expected
for Monday.
A cold night looks to be setting up on Monday night and into
Tuesday morning. A northerly flow pattern aloft will likely
redevelop. With less winds, a drier air mass in place, and less
cloud coverage, radiative cooling processes will much more
efficient overnight Monday and into Tuesday morning. In wind-
sheltered areas, such as the interior valleys, there is a
moderate-to-high chance that a freeze watch may be needed as
overnight low temperatures could plummet to between 28 and 32
degrees in these areas.
The pattern will likely switch back to onshore on Tuesday as an
inside-slider type trough digs south out of Canada. A cooling
trend should be expected as onshore pressure gradients develop and
offshore flow breaks down.
.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...29/133 PM.
The inside-slider trough will move into the region between
Wednesday and Thursday. There is a lot of uncertainty given the
cutoff nature of the system. While EPS forecast ensembles lean
wetter with the system than the forecast, the CMC and GEFS
solutions lean drier. EPS member solutions are starting to lean
drier and produce less precipitation in the current run relative
to last several. Given the time of year and the nature of the
trough, amounts with this storm will very likely be light at best.
A colder, showery, and windy pattern seems to be more of the story
with this system, but any changes in movement either farther
offshore or farther inland will produce different results.
Regardless, a much cooler air mass should be expected for
Wednesday and Thursday along with breezy to gusty winds. Frost
and freeze headlines will likely be needed either on Wednesday
night or Thursday night.
The latest forecast ensembles trend toward a warming trend for
the end of next week, but the air mass will likely to take a few
days to recover. A cold start to Friday morning could linger as a
colder and drier air mass will continue. CMC temperatures mean
suggest the coldest day of the stretch occurring on Thursday night
through Friday morning.

.AVIATION...29/1707Z.
At 1700Z at KLAX, the marine layer was around 600 feet deep.
The top of the inversion was 1800 feet with a temperature of
16 degrees Celsius.
For 18Z TAF package, moderate to high confidence in forecasts.
High confidence in VFR conditions for KBUR, KVNY, KWJF and KPMD.
For coastal sites, moderate confidence in current forecasts due to
uncertainties with the behavior of the marine layer. Timing of
flight category changes could be +/- 4 hours of current forecast
with flight categories off by 1 category.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in 18Z TAF. Timing of flight category
changes could be +/- 4 hours of current forecasts. Also, there is
a 40% chance of LIFR conditions 08Z-14Z. No significant easterly
wind component is expected.
KBUR...High confidence in 18Z TAF.
&&
.MARINE...29/113 PM.
For the Outer Waters, moderate to high confidence in current
forecast. Through Sunday morning, high confidence in winds and
seas remaining below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels. For Sunday
afternoon through Monday morning, there is a 30-50% chance of SCA
level winds. From Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon, high
confidence in winds and seas remaining below SCA levels. For
Wednesday, there is a 20-30% chance of SCA level winds. On
Thursday, high confidence in winds and seas remaining below SCA
levels.
For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal, high confidence in
current forecast. Winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA
levels through Thursday.
For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate to high
confidence in current forecast. Today through Thursday, winds and
seas are expected to generally remain below SCA levels. The only
exception will be on Monday with a 30-40% chance of SCA level
northeast winds from Ventura south to Santa Monica.

208 PM PST Sat Nov 29 2025
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry conditions and possible periods of morning Valley and
adjacent foothills fog and mist continue through Sunday
- Below normal temperatures and low clouds continue in the
Valley, Delta and lower foothills through Sunday, with sunny
skies and above normal temperatures in the upper foothills and
mountains
- Decreasing chances for precipitation with just a slight chance
of snow showers for the Sierra south of I-80 mid-week
- Periodically breezy north to east winds expected late Sunday
through Monday and again mid-week, strongest on Wednesday
&&
.DISCUSSION...
...Today - Sunday... A broad area of low clouds continues to
cover the Delta, Valley, and adjacent lower foothills this
afternoon as a strong inversion persists over the area. This
cloud coverage has kept temperatures quite cool in those areas
once again for today, 10-15 degrees below normal for this time of
year, while higher elevations have been sunny and seasonably mild.
The low clouds also greatly limited the development of fog last
night into this morning, with patchy dense fog mainly limited to
the lower Motherlode foothills and for portions of the northern
Sacramento Valley. This fog diminished by late morning, with some
mist and haze persisting into the afternoon. Dense fog may return
locally to some portions of the area this evening into Saturday
morning, likely the same areas as last night. The persistent low
cloud cover will likely be a limiting factor again for fog
development. Probabilities of fog (visibilities less than a half
mile) currently sit around 50 to 70 percent for the northern and
central Sacramento Valley and the lower foothills, while the
Delta, southern Sacramento Valley, northern San Joaquin have
probabilities around 30 to 50 percent. Aside from periodic fog
development and low clouds, cool Valley/Delta temperatures and dry
weather are expected to persist through Sunday.
...Next Week... Breezy north to east winds will be possible
late Sunday into Monday, around 15 to 20 mph in the Valley, with
the strongest wind gusts up to 30 to 40 mph expected along the
Sierra. With a more persistent offshore(north-east) wind pattern
setting up early next week, fog and low cloud development is
expected to be less relative to this past week. More normal
temperatures are expected with increased sunshine over the
Valley. Ensemble guidance then indicates increasing confidence for
an inside slider type system dropping into the Great Basin,
bringing the potential for breezier north to east winds. Gusts
have trended a little stronger, 25 to 35 mph over the western side
of the Valley, up to 45 mph over the Sierra. There remains a
slight chance for mountain snow showers over the Sierra south of
I-80, but moisture looks very limited with this system so even
high elevations should see just a dusting of snow.
&&
.AVIATION...
Mist lingers through the afternoon hours, with improvements to
ceilings and visibility by the evening. During the evening
ceilings reaching MVFR, but go IFR/LIFR later in the evening and
overnight as the fog redevelops in the Valley. Light and variable
winds will continue through the TAF period. Near the end of the
TAF period, winds will start to shift toward the north at 5-10kts
helping to improve ceilings, visibility, and cloud coverage.

.SYNOPSIS...
Cooler and dry this weekend. Patchy fog along the coastal areas
and coastal mesas tonight. Weak to locally moderate Santa Ana
winds develop Monday and weaken Tuesday with warmer and drier
weather. 20-35% chance of light precipitation Wednesday into
Thursday, though confidence remains very low. Another round of
offshore winds like follow this system for the late week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
Today through Monday...
In response to a shortwave trough now swinging through the Great
Plains, a 1026mb surface high in Nevada is contributing to a weak
offshore gradient, with north/easterly winds only felt in the
deserts to the mountain passes. Elsewhere, onshore flow prevails
though a meager coastal eddy this morning failed to reestablish
marine clouds, providing another cool morning across the coastal
basin. Aside from some high clouds, mostly sunny skies today warms
temperatures up to seasonable norms for late November.
The next shortwave trough is set to dig from the Pac NW through the
Great Basin tonight into Sunday, bringing elevated onshore winds
Sunday afternoon, mainly for the higher elevations in the mountains
and adjacent desert slopes. Wind gusts near 25-35 mph expected in
the high deserts/desert slopes with upwards of 35-45 mph near
mountain peaks. The marine layer will likely be less patchy tonight,
with cloud cover stretching into portions of the western inland
valleys. As cold air spills into the Great Basin behind this upper
trough, the offshore pressure gradient is expected to strengthen on
Monday, more than what is seen today. This Santa Ana wind event
looks to be weak to moderate strength with strongest wind gusts
Monday afternoon found in and just below Cajon/Banning Pass and
Fremont Canyon up to 45-50 mph, with 25-35 mph gusts spreading into
the Inland Empire and inland Valleys of San Diego and Orange
Counties. As for temperatures, Sunday will likely be a few degrees
cooler than today with the onshore flow, followed by warming and
drying on Monday with the offshore flow.
Tuesday into Late Week...
Onshore flow is quickly reestablished Tuesday afternoon, moderating
temperatures back to average. Beyond Tuesday, the upper level
pattern remains quite uncertain through mid-late week as models
continue to disagree on the evolution of the next trough, set to dig
southward on Wednesday. The GFS and its ensembles have a weaker,
shallower, and faster trough, while the ECMWF and its ensembles
feature a deeper and slower system. While this disagreement
persists, confidence on any precipitation, both timing and amounts,
will be low. In a scenario like the GFS's, precipitation amounts
will be very low, likely 0.1" or less, with northerly offshore flow
building Wednesday into Thursday. If the ECMWF's solution were to
verify, precipitation amounts could be closer to 0.25-0.5+" with
rain chances stretching into Thursday, delaying northerly offshore
flow into late Thursday into Friday. Uncertainty in snow levels
exists as well, but will generally be falling to around
6500-6000ft Wed-Thurs. Either way, this storm system isn't
expected to be an efficient rain maker, but stay tuned over the
next few days to see how this evolves. Still, temperatures are
likely to cool below average Wed-Thurs with the trough/cloud
cover, though with the potential for offshore flow, its a bit too
early to say for sure.
&&
.AVIATION...
292030Z....Coasts/Valleys...Very patchy low clouds with bases around
400-700ft MSL will develop and move ashore after 02Z Sunday with VIS
down to 1-4SM. VIS may fall to 1/2SM or lower earlier in the night
for obscured coastal terrain. A weak eddy may allow bases to rise a
bit, possibly to around 600-1200ft MSL by 10-13z. Clouds will begin
to clear back towards the coast by 15-16z.
.Mountains/Deserts...VFR conditions expected through the TAF

(This evening through Sunday)
Tule fog continues through this weekend with solid moisture
working its way into the North Bay valleys as well. Once again had
to tamp down the temp forecast for these areas today. Persistent
fog and stratus can be expected again tomorrow with at least a
better chance for earlier clearing. Elsewhere, temperatures around
seasonal normals continue with quiet conditions and mostly clear
skies.
&&
.LONG TERM...
Issued at 113 PM PST Sat Nov 29 2025
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Things finally start to change a bit Monday as we dry out during
the afternoons. The passage of a weak mid-level trough promotes
mixing of dry continental air, so we can finally say goodbye to
the all-day cloudiness that we've been seeing in the North Bay.
That'll give everyone a few very nice days going into next week.
Next up is an inside slider that is now being advertised
with reasonable confidence by ensemble guidance. Wednesday morning
we're anticipating offshore winds across the interior North Bay.
This will result in additional drying across the interior for
these northern zones with daytime RH in the 30-40% range, as well
as some compression of the marine layer. In terms of rain, we're
still kicking the can down the road so to speak. Not looking good
for rain chances for anyone before the middle of the month.
