FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Eureka CA
1222 AM PDT Sat Aug 2 2025

...CHANCE OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR MOSTLY ZONE 283...
...CHANCE OF DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS MOSTLY FOR ZONES 283, 277, AND 264...

.DISCUSSION...Chance for afternoon thunderstorms will continue
through the weekend. Winds will mostly remain terrain driven with modest
onshore westerly pushes each afternoon in exposed areas through
Saturday. Chances for isolated thunderstorms could occur on
Saturday in extreme NE Trinity, but chances are rather slim. Stronger
onshore wind is expected with a colder trough on Sunday. This
trough will also bring more of a chance for showers and
thunderstorms to mainly around the Trinity Horn on Sunday. This
trough on Sunday will likely induce stronger westerly to
northwestly winds for our typically dry and windy areas; Lake,
interior Mendocino and eastern Trinity.
