559 FNUS76 KEKA 050249 FWSEKA Spot Forecast for Lacks Creek Pile RX...BLM National Weather Service Eureka CA 649 PM PST Thu Mar 4 2021 If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service.

Winds should ease somewhat overnight in sheltered areas, drainages and lower slopes, but will remain elevated from the south over the exposed upper slopes and ridges. Winds Friday morning should be similar to what you experienced Thursday afternoon, with ambient winds still out of a SE to S direction, as evidenced by transport winds forecast below. As rain arrives around mid-late morning, or certainly by midday, winds will tend to shift more southwesterly, which should mean most of your area will be more sheltered. Winds all areas will ease substantially late Friday and Friday night, probably tending light/variable or just calm at the burn area. On Saturday ambient winds will pick up somewhat again from the south or southwest, so expect generally light southeasterlies through the Lacks Creek vicinity. Snow levels are projected to fall below 2500 feet and maybe even around 2000 feet later tonight as the precipitation is winding down. Some minor accumulations should not be ruled out by morning, though it will probably have a tough time accumulating more than an inch below 2500 feet, even if that pans out. Either way, don't be too surprised if it's a little white Saturday morning. A few showers may linger around early morning, but expect very little to no additional precipitation on Saturday. .REST OF TONIGHT...
