Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northwest California
National Weather Service Eureka CA
414 AM PDT Fri May 31 2024

.DISCUSSION...Above normal temperatures are expected today due to a
ridge situated over Northwest California. Winds out of the
northwest will be strongest along ridgetops in the afternoon.
Relative humidity values are forecasted to be reaching down into
the middle teens, especially in the eastern parts of Lake,
Mendocino, and Trinity counties. This summer-like pattern is going
to be disrupted as an weak low pressure system is forecasted to
bring cooler temperatures Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. This
system is forecasted to bring rain to the northern counties,
whereas the southern counties can expected to remain dry with
normal to below normal temperatures. Summer conditions will return
Tuesday through Friday with temperatures well above normal across
all areas.
