AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
153 PM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is building in to the area, bringing dry
weather for much of the week. A chilly night is forecast tonight,
with potentially freezing temperatures in Trinity County. Drizzle
possible for the coastal areas Wednesday. Slight chance for rain
this weekend.


&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure has started to build back into the area
after a soggy weekend. Abundant cloudiness in the interior
valleys have slowly started to scatter out early this afternoon.
Despite these clouds, temperatures this morning fell into the 30s
across the area, including along the coast. Cloud cover over the
interior valleys will limit warming potential today, with some
areas struggling to even reach the 60s. Despite warming
temperatures aloft, residual cloud cover today and continued
drying could support a colder night tonight for the interior
valleys. Coastal temperatures are likely to rise a few degrees
tonight, so frost is unlikely to be a concern. However, the
interior valleys may end up colder, in the high 20s to low 30s, as
skies clear tonight. A Freeze Warning has been issued for early
Tuesday Morning for the valleys of Trinity County, including
Hayfork and Weaverville. A Frost Advisory has been issued for
northern interior Mendocino County, which includes Willits and
Laytonville. Protect any sensitive plants.

By Tuesday, warmer temperatures are forecast for the interior as
high pressure finally builds in with mostly clear skies. Despite the
chilly morning, high temperatures are forecast to be in the 70s with
nearly 80 possible in some of the warmest valleys. A weak front
moves to the north of us Tuesday night into Wednesday. This may
bring some drizzle or light showers to the North Coast, but high
cloud cover looks like the biggest impact. Temperatures are forecast
to remain nice in the interior Wednesday, with 70s or 80s for most
valleys.

Ridging begins to weaken late week into the weekend as a series of
troughs approaches the Pacific Northwest. Confidence is low on if
any of these troughs will reach far enough south to bring us
precipitation. Ensemble clusters are fairly confident in keeping us
with above normal 500 mb heights through the weekend. Still, NBM
probabilities of a tenth inch of rain on Saturday are above 50% in
Del Norte and above 30% along the northern Humboldt coast.
Probabilities for 1 inch drop off to around 20% in Del Norte.
Ensemble members are showing additional chances for rainfall into
early November. The CPC 8-14 day precipitation outlook highlights
northwestern California for above normal precipitation. JB


&&

.AVIATION...(18Z TAFS)...VFR generally expected with occasional
broken to overcast mid to high level clouds above 10,000 feet for
North Coast aerodromes. Brief MVFR vsby in 3-5SM in mist possible
(20% chance) aft 06z for KCEC and KACV. E-SE breezes below 5 kt
will reduce the potential for IFR at coastal forecast terminals.
VFR is expected at KUKI with drier dewpoints and light offshore
breezes through the night.


&&

.MARINE...Brisk northerly winds and steep wind waves will continue
to bring hazardous conditions for small craft in the southern waters
tonight into Tuesday. Northerly winds and large steep seas increase
Wed both north and south of the Cape after passage of front into the
Pac NW. Winds should diminish Thu and Fri with the approach another
front from the NW. Seas will likely remain steep and elevated into
at least Thu due to a combination of wind waves and swell.


&&

.BEACH HAZARDS...Series of W-NW swell groups will spread into the
waters through the week. First swell is forecast to arrive on Wed
with peak wave periods near 15-16 second. Wave spectrum appears
quite noisy with multiple shorter period energy bands and steeper
northerly wind waves offshore. The sneaker wave threat for this
first swell appears quite low at the moment. A second swell group
with much longer periods (+20 seconds) will arrive late Fri and
build through Sat. This swell, if it materializes, will pose a
greater risk for sneaker waves and large surf. Deep waters swell may
eventually become too large on Saturday with elevated surf notably
hazardous to beachgoers.


&&

.EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Office: HNX FXUS66 KHNX 270721 AFDHNX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hanford CA 1221 AM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... 1. Gusty winds will continue until late tonight along the Mojave Desert slopes in eastern Kern County. 2. A warming trend will bring above average temperatures by midweek. Warm temperatures may last until at least the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... We will experience one more relatively cool day in the wake of the upper-level trough that passed over the area. Meanwhile, gusty winds will continue along the Mojave Desert slopes until early this morning, as short-term high resolution guidance shows 45-50 mph winds persisting overnight tonight, including probabilities as much as 50-60 percent for gusts at least 45 mph for at least the next few hours. Dry conditions will prevail with a warming trend beginning Tuesday. Near to above average temperatures are likely by Wednesday, as the chances for highs in the 80's in the warmest valley and desert locations increase markedly. Probabilities for a high of 80 degrees in the San Joaquin Valley are around 30-40 percent, while the chances are significantly higher in the Kern County desert, or at 80-90 percent. This is due to a building ridge of high pressure over much of the Western U.S. Similar probabilities are shown through the end of this week into the weekend, or the first weekend of November. We are not forecasting precipitation for the next seven days. The Climate Prediction Center shows an 80-90 percent chance of above average temperatures continuing in the 6-10 day period and 70-80 percent chance for the 8-14 day period. Although, for both of these periods, near average precipitation is projected. Climatologically speaking, average precipitation is generally relatively low in early November. && .AVIATION... Mainly VFR conditions will prevail throughout the Central CA interior for the next 24 hours. Except MVFR visibility with local IFR until 18Z Monday in the San Joaquin Valley. && .AIR QUALITY ISSUES... None. && .CERTAINTY... The level of certainty for days 1 and 2 is high. The level of certainty for days 3 through 7 is high. Certainty levels include low...medium...and high. Please visit www.weather.gov/hnx/certainty.html for additional information and/or to provide feedback. && .HNX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Office: LOX FXUS66 KLOX 280318 AFDLOX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 818 PM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025 .SYNOPSIS...27/909 AM. The first Santa Ana Wind event of the season is expected Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing very warm temperatures to the coasts and valleys and gusty winds to the typically wind prone corridor of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties as well as most mountains. Late this week through the weekend, temperatures will remain above normal with no rain chances in the foreseeable future. && .SHORT TERM (MON-THU)...27/816 PM. ***UPDATE*** Big switch in the weather underway. Currently there is a 6mb offshore push from the north and about a 1 mb offshore push from the east. The trends are impressive as well, with both in the 4 to 5 mb range. This offshore push from the north is generating wind gusts 35 to 45 mph through the passes and canyons of the Santa Ynez range. Later tonight advisory level winds will develop through the i-5 corridor and spill into the Santa Clarita Vly. By dawn the offshore push from the east will have increased to about 5 mb and this will switch the winds to the NE and the first Santa Ana wind event of the season will begin. Look for 40 to 50 mph gusts through the Santa Ana corridor (Santa Clarita Vly to Pt Mugu). The Santa Ana winds will also produce a marked warm up. Look for 10 to 15 degrees of warming across all of the csts and vlys. This will raise max temps for the csts/vlys into the mid 80s to mid 90s or about 12 degrees above normal. A heat advisory is in effect for the csts/vlys. As with all Santa Anas the humidities will be in the single digits and teens. The combination of low humidities, high temperatures and gusty winds will produce red flag conditions through the Santa Ana Wind Corridor. The current forecast is well on track and no updates are planned. ***From Previous Discussion*** The first Santa Ana Wind event of the season will start Tuesday (tomorrow) and last through Wednesday, driven by offshore surface pressure gradients that will set up across the region. A relatively colder airmass has surged into the Central Valley, resulting in a surface high to contrast the surface low pressure along the SoCal Coast (the LAX-DAG and LAX- BFL gradients are likely to peak around 5 mb offshore). This imbalance will drive the offshore winds out the northeast over the next couple days. Expect northeast winds to pick up tonight along the San Luis Obispo County Santa Lucia Mountains and coastal areas (including Morro Bay and Cayucos), then developing early Tuesday morning across the Santa Ana wind prone corridor of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Winds Advisories are in effect the windiest areas tonight through Tuesday, with additional advisories possible for late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning (see NPWLOX for more details). The warm downsloping winds will lead to temperatures well above normal temperatures across the region, including the coastal plains and beaches. Heat Advisories are currently in effect across much of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties Tuesday through Wednesday, where daytime highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s, which is 10 to 15 degrees above normal (see NPWLOX for more details). Temperatures will approach daily records, especially near the beaches. Additionally, the influx of dry air from the interior will yield very low relative humidities. Gusty winds and these dry conditions will result in elevated to Critical Fire Weather conditions, and Red Flag Warnings have been issued for the Western San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Susana Mountains, and the Southeastern Ventura County Valleys (see RFWLOX for more details). Residents in or near theses areas are advised to check for multiple ways to recieve weather and emergency alerts and make preparations to evacuate in an emergency wildfire situation. The Santa Ana winds will keep marine layer clouds at bay for the next few days, with some low clouds and fog likely to return Thursday morning. Heat will also let up somewhat on Thursday, through temperatures will remain above normal with highs in the 80s common. .LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...27/148 PM. An extended period of broad ridging is favored to prevail over the region Friday into early next week, with little variation between forecast models. This will keep temperatures generally above normal, though offshore surface pressure gradients are expected to decrease, which will will allow for a cooling trend for Friday. The ridge is likely to strengthening over the weekend, resulting a minor bump in temperatures. At this point, heat products are not likely to be needed. Additionally, there is little indication of a pattern change in the foreseeable future, with the next chance for rain well beyond the forecast period (late next week in early November). && .AVIATION...27/2340Z. At 2240Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 900 ft deep. The top of the inversion was 5000 ft with a temperature of 20 C. High confidence in KWJF and KPMD TAFs. Low confidence in low cloud evolution tonight into early tomorrow morning. LLWS will be a concern at KSBP tonight. NE winds and/or LLWS will be a concern after 12Z Tuesday at KCMA KOXR KVNY. KLAX...Moderate to high confidence in VFR conditions through 04Z. Thereafter, low confidence with a 40% chance for IFR CIGs 005-008 to develop from 09Z to 16Z Tue, with moderate confidence in MVFR VSBYs 4 to 5SM. No significant east wind component expected. KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF. VFR conditions expected through fcst pd. NE winds will form over the region on Tuesday, with mdt confidence that they will no surface at airport, but some weak to moderate LLWS may form. && .MARINE...27/606 PM. The current NW winds will shift to N-NE through Tuesday. High confidence in Small Craft Advisory (SCA) winds and seas through tonight from the Central Coast (including nearshore) to San Nicolas Island. Localized GALE force wind gusts possible across an area from Point Conception down to buoy 46069 and about 30 NM to the west through this evening. NE winds will impact the nearshore waters Tuesday and Wednesday morning from Ventura to Santa Monica, & along the Central Coast. High confidence winds will peak at least in the 15-20 knot range. There is a 30% chance that winds cross over into SCA criteria in terms of speed and duration. NW winds will likely return to SCA levels from the Central Coast to San Nicolas Island by Thursday. Patches of dense fog will likely form Thursday into Friday. && .FIRE WEATHER...27/357 PM. Gusty north winds combined with a drying trend will bring elevated fire weather conditions through this evening across portions of the mountains, southern Santa Barbara county, and Antelope Valley. Late tonight into Wednesday a weak to moderate Santa Ana wind event will develop across southern California. Northeast winds gusting 30 to 40 mph will be common on Tuesday across the typical Santa Ana wind prone corridors of LA/Ventura counties, with isolated gusts up to 45 mph across favored mountain/foothills areas. The offshore winds are expected to diminish some in most areas Tuesday night into Wednesday (with gusts mostly in the 20 to 35 mph range). However, high resolution models indicating a secondary burst of wind gusts 35 to 45 mph late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning across the western San Gabriels, Santa Susanas, and the Highway 118 corridor of the eastern Ventura county Valleys (near Moorpark, Simi Valley). This Santa Ana wind event will be associated with very warm and dry conditions, especially across coastal/valley areas where downslope warming will occur. Minimum humidities of 8 to 15 percent will be common across much of LA/Ventura counties, falling to 5 to 10 percent on Wednesday. In addition, there will be very poor humidity recoveries on Tuesday night with many wind prone areas/foothills remaining in the 10 to 20 percent range. The combination of gusty Santa Ana winds, very warm temperatures, and very low humidities will bring widespread elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions across the region Tuesday into Wednesday, especially wind corridors of LA/Ventura counties where 2 to 5 hours of Red Flag conditions could occur each day. The most enhanced wind areas on Tuesday and Wednesday (western San Gabriel mountains, Santa Susanas, and southeast Ventura valleys mainly near Simi Valley/Moorpark) will likely see 6+ hours of Red Flag durations, resulting in the issuance of the Red Flag Warning for the longer duration threat. Despite recent rains, local fire agencies indicating fuels are still supportive of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior across portions of the forecast area. Live Fuel Moisture values are still in the 65 to 75 percent range across much of the area, with only a shallow grass crop forming in many areas after recent rains. Residents in or near the Red Flag Warnings ares are advised to check for multiple ways to recieve weather and emergency alerts and make preparations to evacuate in an emergency wildfire situation. Winds will continue to weaken on Thursday, but a light offshore wind influence will continue to maintain very warm and dry conditions through the weekend away from the coast. && .LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Today...Dry weather is present across the area with some patchy morning fog and some low clouds diminishing through the day. There are gusty northerly winds in portions of the Sacramento Valley which will continue through the afternoon and then gradually decrease this evening. Northeast to east winds develop tonight through canyons and over mountain ridges. Temperatures Tuesday - Sunday...Broad northwest to zonal flow develops as upper level ridging builds in with near to slightly above normal temperatures and dry weather continues. Periods of breezy north to east winds are expected early in the week, with gusts 15 to 25 mph possible at times, locally stronger in canyons and over mountain ridges. Today and Wednesday are forecast to be the windiest of these days. Highs in the 70s this week across the Sacramento Valley are expected, reaching near 80 at some locations on Wednesday. .AVIATION...

Office: SGX FXUS66 KSGX 272053 AFDSGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 153 PM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Offshore flow and strengthening high pressure aloft will bring warming through Wednesday with periods of gusty Santa Ana winds along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains for tonight into Wednesday with the stronger gusts to 35 to 45 mph. High temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above normal expected Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Weak onshore flow will bring less hot conditions inland for Thursday and Friday with high temperatures for next weekend at least a few degrees warmer as high pressure aloft strengthens and another weak offshore event appears possible. && .DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... Today through Wednesday... As the trough currently over Idaho digs southeastward today, building high pressure across the Great Basin will strengthen the offshore pressure gradient. North to northeasterly flow is set to begin this afternoon across the deserts and desert slopes, while onshore flow prevails today for the coasts and valleys. This will likely inhibit the marine layer, with only a few clouds possible along the coasts tonight. As inland high pressure builds, the offshore gradient is set to peak on Tuesday, resulting in in weak to locally moderate strength Santa Ana winds, with strong gusts primarily focused within and below main mountain passes. Wind gusts here could gust up to 35 to 45 mph on Tuesday afternoon, with 25-35 mph gusts stretching into the Inland Empire, the Santa Ana Mountains, and the inland valleys of San Diego County. High pressure in the Great Basin slides east heading into Wednesday, and while offshore flow should persist through late Wednesday, wind gusts should be notably weaker than Tuesday. Meanwhile, a building ridge paired with the compressional effects of the downslope, offshore winds and a lack of a marine layer will culminate in a substantially warmer day on Tuesday compared to today. Afternoon temperatures are expected to soar into the low to mid 90s across inland portions of Orange/San Diego counties and the Inland Empire, coming in about 13-18 degrees above normal for late October. Despite weaker offshore flow Wednesday, continued dry conditions and the upper level ridge keeps temperatures hot, even a degree or two warmer than Tuesday. With this, widespread moderate HeatRisk is still expected across Orange County inland, San Diego County valleys, and the Inland Empire, and the Heat Advisory currently in effect for Tuesday into Wednesday remains on track. The offshore flow brining in the hot and dry desert air will also send afternoon humidity into the low teens Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. This when combined with the Santa Ana winds will bring elevated fire weather conditions, and locally critical conditions during the periods of strongest winds in the afternoon within wind- prone mountain passes. Thursday into Late Week... The offshore pressure gradient relaxes late Wednesday into Thursday, with onshore flow reestablished for the coasts and valleys by Thursday afternoon. The absence of offshore flow allows temperatures to cool some for Thursday, albeit still 5-10 degrees above normal. Weak ridging remains in place into the end of the week, keeping the marginally above normal warmth in place. The marine layer looks to return, at least partially, by Thursday morning. Another weak offshore wind event is possible this weekend, which could bring another period of warmer and drier conditions. && .AVIATION... 262000Z...Coast/Valleys...Mostly clear through the afternoon hours with lingering HZ and vis 3-5sm across the Inland Empire. Confidence now moderate to high of BKN cigs near 800-1200 ft MSL returning to VCTY KSAN/KCRQ 06-16z Tue. Cigs becoming more intermittent after 12Z Tue. Lower confidence in these cigs impacting VCTY KSNA. N/E winds with gusts 20-30 kts increasing across parts of the Inland Empire downwind of the Cajon / Banning Passes after 12Z Tues will lead to MOD UDDFS at times. Mountains/Deserts...Clear and VFR conditions today and tonight. N/E wind gusts 20-35 kts around coastal facing slopes and passes after 12Z Tue, leading to MOD UDDFS. && .MARINE... No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Friday. && .SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Issued at 1248 PM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025 (This evening through Tuesday) Satellite imagery shows lingering stratus across the South Bay. Current thinking is for the cloud cover to last for another couple of hours. After the stratus mixes out, the skies should remain clear through the day and the overnight hours, straight through Tuesday. The weather pattern is in transition today, as zonal flow (west to east winds) aloft this morning gives way to a building ridge that will dominate the weather pattern for the rest of the week. Today's highs remain cool with the inland valleys reaching temperatures in the lower 70s, with areas along the Bays going into the upper 60s and the Pacific coast seeing highs in the lower to middle 60s. After a cool morning with lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s across most of the lower elevations, a marked warming trend begins on Tuesday as temperatures rise slightly (5 to 10 degrees) above seasonal averages, with the inland valleys seeing highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s, the bayside regions seeing highs in the lower to middle 70s, and the Pacific coast hovering around the middle to upper 60s. The resulting thermal trough over California will combine with a surface high developing over the northern Rockies to produce mild offshore flow, with light winds from the north and the northeast across the higher elevations. The relatively light wind speeds will keep fire weather concerns in check. && .LONG TERM... Issued at 1248 PM PDT Mon Oct 27 2025 (Tuesday night through next Sunday) The offshore flow persists into Wednesday morning, with a peak in the temperatures that day as the inland valleys reach the lower to middle 80s. Temperatures reach the 10-15 degree above seasonal average mark and minor HeatRisk is possible, corresponding to a slight risk of heat related illness for people highly sensitive to heat. An incoming trough in the northern tier will restore mainly onshore flow and cause temperatures to dip across much the region, with the inland valleys across the Bay Area seeing highs in the lower to middle 70s and the Bay Area Pacific coast dipping to near 60 while the interior Central Coast continues to see highs in the 80s. Enhanced cloud cover is possible, but any rain chances remain far to our north across the Pacific Northwest.
