Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
1052 AM PDT SAT AUG 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Modest warming is expected for today reflecting
further development of the upper level ridge of high pressure a
and additional compression of the marine layer. Then on Sunday,
an upper level trough will approach the Northern California coast,
resulting in renewed deepening of the marine layer and increase in
the onshore winds and coastal stratus. Dry and seasonally typical
conditions are expected next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...As of 9:15 AM PDT Saturday...Latest satellite
images shows stratus blanketing the coast, and extending locally
in around the bays, though less extensively so than the same time
Friday morning. Upper level ridge development has resulted in
further compression of the marine layer. Data from the Bodega Bay
and Ft Ord profilers, and the SFO Stratus Project sodar at San
Carlos Airport, all indicate its depth is now about 1000 ft, in
comparison to 1500 ft 24 hours ago.

The combination of a shallower marine layer and a couples of degs
of additional warming aloft will result in moderately warmer
temperatures this afternoon than yesterday away from the waters.
Nearer the ocean, cool seabreeze winds will continue, but do
expect significantly greater clearing of the stratus along the
coast today than occurred on Friday.

On Sunday, a weak upper level trough will approach the northern
California coast and result in the marine layer again deepening,
along with some increase in the afternoon onshore flow. The net
result for us will be a bit more coastal stratus and somewhat
cooler temperatures, aside from inland locations well protected
from any appreciable marine air influence.

No significant change in our weather is then expected through the
end of next week, with seasonally typical conditions generally
prevailing.

&&

.AVIATION...as of 10:55 AM PDT Saturday...For 18z tafs. Shallow marine
layer has retreated from inland locations and is now banked along
the entire coast, leaving VFR conditions at all airports not along
the immediate coastline (such as KHAF). Tonight/tomorrow morning
will be very similar to this morning with a compressed marine
layer bringing very low cigs/visbys to low lying areas along the
coastline. Patchy dense fog will be again possible at KMRY and
KSNS as well. Winds generally light onshore through the taf
period, with a few locations, such as KSFO, becoming breezy in the
afternoon.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR today. Sustained onshore winds 15-20kt this
afternoon. Expecting VFR overnight, but could see BKN006-009 for a
brief duration around sunrise tomorrow.

SFO Bridge Approach...Same as KSFO but with higher likelihood of
IFR cigs around sunrise tomorrow, which impacts KSFO approach.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the remainder of the morning
and afternoon. Low cigs/visbys return inland btwn 02-04Z depending
on distance from the ocean and will persist until at least 16Z SUN.
Light onshore winds today.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...As of 3:23 AM PDT Saturday...A modest warming
trend will continue today as an upper level high builds over
California and the marine layer compresses to about 1000 feet.
Most warming will occur inland and in the hills. High pressure
will weaken by early next week and result in slight cooling. Winds
will generally be light except local moderate and gusty afternoon
and evening seabreeze winds.

In the vicinity of the Soberanes Fire, look for warmer and drier
conditions through tonight with very poor nighttime humidity
recoveries in the hills above 1500 feet. Winds will be light from
the north and northeast this morning and then become northwest by
afternoon and increase. Gusts up to 20 mph are possible on peaks
and ridges late this afternoon and evening. Transport winds are
forecast to be light from the northeast this morning, switching
to the northwest and increasing this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...as of 10:46 AM PDT Saturday...Light northwest winds this
morning will increase gradually through today before easing
overnight. Northwest winds strengthen further on sunday however
the strongest winds will primarily be over the outer waters 10
miles or more offshore. Hazardous conditions from squared seas
will be possible for the northern outer waters sunday through
early next week.

&&

.MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
     .Tday...SCA...Mry Bay from 3 PM
             SCA...Pigeon Pt to Pt Pinos 0-10 nm from 3 PM
