National Weather Service Eureka CA
327 AM PDT Wed May 8 2024

.DISCUSSION...A strong ridge of high pressure is beginning an
extensive amplifying trend which will create dry weather and
warming temperatures through the extended forecast. Northerly to
northeasterly winds will remain gusty to strong into Thursday.
These winds will be strongest over the highest ridges of far
southern portions of zone 283, eastern zone 277, and 264 where
strong gusts over 60 mph can be expected tonight through Thursday
morning. Minimum RH values will drop to the low 20s to upper
teens in these zones through that period. The warmest interior
valleys will reach the upper 80s with some low 90s late in the
week and through the weekend. Similar temperatures look to
redevelop next week .
