Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northwest California
National Weather Service Eureka CA
216 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...Another ridge has begun to build off the Pacific
Northwest. This will result in warm and dry conditions returning
to the region. Breezy northerly winds will also develop with gusts
in the 20 to 30 mph range for higher, exposed terrain areas.
Throughout the work week, offshore winds will aid in drying out
the region. Maximum temperatures in interior valleys will be in
the 80s and 90s with the warmest valleys potentially seeing
temperatures in the upper 90s by the middle to end of the week.
While, coastal temperatures could be in the upper 60s to 70s.
