What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS San Francisco Bay Area, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 5, 4:38 AM PDT, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 5, 4:38 AM PDT, 4 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
438 AM PDT Fri Oct 5 2018

.SYNOPSIS...A warming and drying trend is forecast to begin on
Friday and continue through the weekend. Locally strong and gusty
northerly winds are expected to develop over the weekend, mainly
in the North and East Bay Hills on Saturday night and Sunday.
Seasonable weather conditions are likely through the remainder of
the forecast period.

&&

.DISCUSSION...as of 3:00 AM PDT Friday...A cooler, drier air mass
is settling into the region early this morning in the wake of
yesterdays cold frontal passage, bringing overnight temperatures
and dew points generally 5 to 10 degrees lower than the same time
yesterday. Radar imagery has gone silent after days of showers and
steady rain across the state. Likewise, satellite imagery shows
much less cloud coverage compared to recent days, with
intermittent patches of fog (North Bay) and lingering low level
clouds (East Bay, Monterey Bay). Lingering low level moisture from
the recent storm system will promote some additional cloud
formation into sunrise.

Today will be a transition day as the broad trough that brought
days of unsettled weather to the region exits into the Great
Basin. Later today and into the weekend a 595dm 500mb high
pressure ridge approximately 1000 miles west of San Francisco is
forecast to amplify into the Gulf of Alaska and expand towards the
western CONUS coast. A tight, rapidly moving 558dm 500mb
vorticity pulse is expected to descend down the eastern flank of
the amplified ridge over the next 72 to 84 hours in an "insider
slider" pattern. These patterns are known best for generating
strong offshore gradient that promote dry, gusty N to NE winds to
many portions of California during the fall. Forecast models are
in general agreement that this scenario will play out despite some
minor differences with the timing and positioning of the upper
low as it slides over the Sierra Nevada. This positioning is
important as it will dictate the timing, strength, and orientation
of the warm, dry, gusty offshore winds that will be generated
this weekend.

Models generally agree that winds will spin up by Saturday
afternoon as the pressure SW to NE gradient tightens, then
gradually ramp up overnight Saturday into early Sunday. The
strongest winds are expected throughout the day Sunday and into
Sunday night before tapering down on Monday for elevations at or
above 1000 ft across the North and East Bay. Sustained winds
over the highest elevations in these areas could push up to
30-35mph with occasional gusts peaking as high as 50-60mph. The
lowest humidity values will coincide with the stronger winds on
Sunday, with minimum relative humidity values in the low to mid
teens over the driest spots. Recent rainfall has brought a sharp
increase in fuel moisture over the last couple of days -- which
should help to mitigate fire risk with the upcoming wind event.
That said, a higher percentage of the rainfall was likely absorbed
by the soil with this storm system given the extremely dry
antecedent conditions, which could lead to slightly lower
available moisture for the fuels. In addition to the wind and
reduced humidity, temperatures are forecast to go on a modest
uptrend, with near seasonal temperatures forecast this weekend.
The warmest areas, as usual, will be the remote inland locations
away from the cooling influence of the coastal waters.

The high pressure system will weaken and retrograde through early
next week as a slightly broader trough descends down the eastern
flank of the ridge once again. For now, confidence is low on
if this means another round of dry offshore winds by mid week or
benign weather. To further complicate matters, Hurricane Sergio
will be advancing towards Baja/Southern California late Wednesday
into Thursday. As we saw recently with Olivia, this may result in
a muggier, more unstable tropical air mass entraining into our
region. The models struggled model our last storm system due to
the harder to predict Olivia waiting downstream. We may see a
repeat with Sergio bringing sudden rapid shifts in the forecast
data as it moves closer to land later next week.

&&

.AVIATION...as of 4:38 AM Friday. For 12Z TAFs. GOES-East
infrared satellite reveals less cloud coverage this Friday morning
compared to the last several days. There are a few pockets of low
clouds near Oakland, Half Moon Bay, and along the Monterey Bay
shoreline. Generally do expect VFR conditions to prevail through
much of day at most TAF sites; though, will likely see another
few/several hours of MVFR/IFR ceilings at OAK, MRY, and SNS this
morning due to those localized low clouds. STS has been reporting
fog over the past few hours with LIFR visibilities, and expect
improvement within several hours of sunrise. Onshore winds are
forecast to develop with some of the gust-prone terminals reaching
gusts around 25 kt in the afternoon.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR conditions are forecast to prevail at the
terminal. Infrared satellite imagery does show some areas of low
clouds just to the south and west of the terminal, which may try
to intrude and perhaps bring SCT skies briefly this morning.
Light winds this morning will increase out of the west around
15-20 kt sustained with gusts to around 25 kt this afternoon.

SFO Bridge Approach...Could see FEW/SCT low clouds try to develop
over the next 2-4 hours over the southern half of the San
Francisco Bay, but overall generally expect similar conditions to
that of the terminal.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Low clouds continue to hug along the
Monterey Bay shoreline, bringing MVFR ceilings to both SNS and
MRY this morning. Expect a gradual transition back to VFR through
the morning with onshore winds developing this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...as of 2:40 AM PDT Friday...Building high pressure over
the eastern Pacific will ramp up the northwesterly winds over the
next 24 to 48 hours. Winds will likely approach and possibly
exceed gale-force for the outer waters north of Point Reyes, as
well as the waters adjacent to the Big Sur coast. These winds will
bring steep fresh swell to the waters in the coming days.
Otherwise seas will be mixed with northwest and southerly swells.

North Bay Mountains-East Bay Interior Valleys-
East Bay Hills and the Diablo Range-Santa Cruz Mountains-
653 PM PDT Thu Oct 4 2018

This hazardous weather outlook is for elevations above 1000 feet
in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as portions of the East Bay
Valleys.

.DAY ONE...Thursday night

Isolated showers will end by evening. Expect partly cloudy and
mild conditions overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

An upper trough is forecast to dig inland to the east of our area
early in the weekend and settle into the Great Basin by late
Saturday. This type of weather scenario in the autumn typically
results in breezy northerly winds across much of our region, and
locally windy conditions in the hills. Northwest winds are
expected to increase along the coast on Saturday afternoon with
local coastal wind gusts up to 40 mph possible by late in the
afternoon. Then, on Saturday night, winds are expected to subside
near the coast, but turn to the north and increase in the hills.
Strongest north winds are expected in the North and East Bay Hills
from late Saturday night into Sunday when wind gusts of up to 50
mph are possible. A Wind Advisory may be need for the North and
East Bay Hills Saturday night into Sunday. Locally windy
conditions are possible elsewhere, including the Santa Cruz
Mountains and isolated areas near sea level around the Delta and
in northeast Contra Costa county.

Winds in the hills are forecast to subside by Sunday afternoon,
but then increase once again Sunday night into Monday morning.
Winds are expected to decrease in all areas by Monday afternoon.

These northerly winds over the weekend will bring a much drier
airmass into the region. Recent rains have decreased fire weather
concerns, especially across much of the North Bay. However, in
those areas that received little or no rain, the combination of
strong and gusty winds and lowering humidity will increase fire
danger, especially by late Sunday. Please continue to monitor
latest forecasts concerning this upcoming wind event.
