Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
129 PM PDT Sun Mar 31 2019

.SYNOPSIS...Mostly clear skies and mild temperatures are expected
through the remainder of the weekend as high pressure builds over
the area. Unsettled weather and cooler temperatures are forecast
to develop early in the work week with showers possible Monday
into Tuesday. Additional wet weather is expected late in the week
as a couple of storm systems move through the area, with
potentially more significant rainfall possible by next weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...as of 1:25 PM PDT Sunday...Wall to wall sunshine
over the the Bay Area and much of the state in fact. High pressure
overhead has led to a rather mild day around the region with many
places running several degrees above normal and Saturday's
temperatures. As the afternoon progresses high clouds will spill
over the ridge as the next storm system slowly moves toward the
coast.

After pleasant weekend the upcoming week will be much wetter as a
series of system bring rain to the region. Despite the wet wording
the week will not be a total wash out, but more like period of
rain and periods of dry. The biggest system of the week still
appears to be next Friday/Saturday, but more on that later.

In the meantime, the ridge of high pressure will weaken and move
eastward as a cold front impacts the region on Monday. Model
trends as of late have been to slow the onset of precip and
really downplay rain south of San Jose. Current forecast will
bring rain into the North Bay Monday morning and San Francisco by
the afternoon. Places to the south could end up seeing a rather
nice day with only increasing clouds. By Monday evening/night
light rain will be possible as far south as Monterey. A few
lingering showers possible early Tuesday before high pressure
briefly returns. Rainfall totals will be minimal with amounts up
to a tenth or two northern areas and a few hundredths to the
south.

Brief break in the action on Wednesday with weak ridging. Light
rain chances return on Thursday with moist SW flow and warm
advection.  Rain amounts will be minimal on Thursday.

The much talked about Friday/Saturday system is still present on
the 12Z. More widespread rainfall will develop Friday afternoon
and increase Friday evening before transitioning to showers on
Saturday. Atmospheric River model guidance does indicate a
moisture tap near Hawaii. Ensemble envelop shows potential for a
weak to moderate AR with a mean of weak AR. Definitely a wet
system, but nothing that will cause widespread flooding concerns.
Details will continue to emerge as the Friday system draws near.

&&

.AVIATION...As of 10:44 AM PDT Saturday...for 18Z Sunday TAFs.
Skies are clear across the region with a gradual increase in high
clouds this evening and overnight in advance of weak front
arriving Monday afternoon with only scattered showers and gradual
lowering of cigs.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR skies this afternoon and evening with light
winds. Expecting vfr conditions to hold through Monday morning at
this time.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR conditions are forecast the rest of
today and through Monday morning.

&&

.MARINE...as of 10:41 AM PDT Sunday...Light to moderate northwest
winds will generally prevail over the waters today and tonight,
then back to the west and southwest  Monday and Monday night ahead
of an approaching weak Pacific  frontal system. A long period
northwest swell will arrive Sunday  night and continue through
Monday night before becoming more  moderate in period by Tuesday.
The weather system will bring a  chance of rain to our coastal
waters and bays later Monday  through Tuesday.
