FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Eureka CA
1137 AM PDT Sun Jun 15 2025
...Locally elevated fire weather conditions expected Monday and
Tuesday afternoons and evenings in Zone 264...
.DISCUSSION...Warmer inland temperatures today. An approaching
shortwave trough is bringing some weak elevated instability and
moisture this afternoon. Moisture is lacking, but a low chance (up
to 5%) exits for isolated dry thunderstorms this afternoon and
evening for mainly Humboldt and Del Norte counties as this
feature interacts with the higher terrain. Colder cloud tops and
a cumulus field are observed on satellite over Humboldt and Del
Norte counties this afternoon. Trinity County has a brief chance
this afternoon and a second chance in far NE portions of the
county Monday afternoon for an isolated thunderstorm as the trough
axis passes. Northerly winds are increasing in southern Mendocino
and Lake County this afternoon. These winds will further increase
Monday afternoon over the interior ridges, mainly in southern
Mendocino and Lake counties. These mainly diurnally- driven
afternoon winds will trend slightly lower Tuesday, but will
increase again late next week with a stronger trough and front.
Minimum RH values will trend lower early to mid next week, with
some values in the mid to upper teens Wednesday. Locally elevated
to some brief critical fire weather conditions will develop with
these afternoon wind pulses and lowering RH.
