Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northwest California
National Weather Service Eureka CA
405 AM PST Sun Jan 19 2025
.DISCUSSION...Dry weather continues through at least Thursday.
Expect coastal stratus along much of the North Coast this
morning, but should at least partially clear for most areas.
Strong winds aloft have potential to mix down for some gusty winds
in Lake County for Monday and Monday evening, with northeast winds
of 20 to 30 mph gusting up to 50 mph. Look for some gusty winds
to return Friday and Saturday for much of the rest of the entire
area. We stand a 50-60% chance of hitting gusts greater than 45
mph along the coast from Eureka to Crescent City on Friday. And a
50% chance of wind gusts greater than 45 mph on Saturday for
Clearlake in Lake County. Any rain amounts appear to be rather
light for Thursday night through Saturday, and considered non-
wetting.
