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 Feb 2, 3:03 AM PST, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 2, 3:03 AM PST, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
303 AM PST Sat Feb 2 2019

.SYNOPSIS...A powerful cold front is approaching the coast and
will bring damaging winds and heavy rainfall as it passes through
the Bay Area and Central Coast early this morning. After a brief
lull midday, showers and thunderstorms, along with gusty winds,
will redevelop across the region late this afternoon and evening.
Showers will linger on Sunday but with dry breaks. Another front
will bring more showers Sunday night into Monday. A final cold
system will produce more shower activity Monday night into Tuesday
and could lower snow levels to less than 2000 feet. Some showers
could linger into Wednesday, but then dry weather is forecast
Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...As of 3:03 AM PST Saturday...KMUX radar, now finally
online and showing the correct time, is showing the approaching
cold front now just offshore, and judging from the speed of the
line, looks to reach the coast by 4 AM. Brief heavy rain is
expected with the line, as well as an increase in southerly winds.
Already some robust wind gusts have been reported both in the
hills and in the Salinas Valley with gusts between 35 and 55 mph
being reported. Winds will be strongest when the front moves
through until around 6 am. Winds will subside after frontal
passage which is expected to occur sometime around sunrise,
however, gusty southerly winds will persist through Saturday. The
High Wind Warning for our entire forecast area is in effect until
10 am, but it's likely additional wind products will be needed
after that time. Winds are expected to finally subside late
tonight as the surface low moves inland and fills.

Rainfall has been steady over portions of the district for the
past 6-12 hours. Highest rainfall totals are in the coastal
mountains with the Venado gage in northern Sonoma county already
at 3.16" over the past 24 hours. Locations in the Santa Lucias as
well as the Santa Cruz Mountains have picked up over an inch and
up to 1.70 inches over this time frame. Rainfall will increase in
intensity with the cold frontal band. Rainfall rates during this
time could be as high as 1 inch per hour. These rainfall rates
will likely be sufficient to overwhelm storm drains and result in
urban flooding in low lying areas. Small streams and creeks will
experience rapid rises and may reach or exceed bankfull by
sunrise. Also, flash flooding or debris flows are possible across
wildfire burns scars. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect until noon
today.

Precipitation will taper off after frontal passage this morning,
with just scattered showers expected through mid afternoon.
Showers will then become more widespread and increase in intensity
again late this afternoon and evening. The airmass will also
become more unstable during this time and isolated thunderstorms
could be possible. Scattered showers are expected from late
tonight through Sunday, with some dry breaks. Showers are
expected to once again become more widespread Sunday night as a
shortwave trough moves through.

The final round of precipitation will occur from Monday through
early wednesday as a cold system drops in from the north. The
airmass with this system will be cold as it will originate over
British Columbia. Thus, snow levels could drop as low as 2000 feet
by late Monday night.

Dry, but cool, weather is expected during the second half of next
week, but also hint at more active weather by next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...As of 10:10 PM PST Friday...For 06Z TAFs. Wet and
windy weather will prevail as a powerful weather system strengthen
off the coast. Rain will continue to impact all area terminals as
the system approaches with cigs gradually lowering to MVFR
overnight. In addition to the ceilings, strong southerly winds
will develop and impact virtually all terminals with the potential
for low level wind shear. The heaviest rain will coincide with
the frontal passage, which is expected to occur sometime after
12-15Z Saturday.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR cigs with SCT/BKN deck around 4,000-5,000
ft will gradually lower to 2,500-3,500 ft overnight. Rain expected
overnight as the main frontal band approaches and subsequently
moves inland. Increasingly strong southerly winds are forecast
through the night and into Saturday morning. Likely will see
Airport Weather Warning Criteria at the terminal, but there
remains some uncertainty as to exactly when the 35 kt threshold
will be hit. Low level wind shear will also be a concern with this
storm.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR cigs will prevail through this
evening before cigs lower to MVFR levels overnight and into
Saturday. Very strong southerly winds are expected to impact both
SNS and MRY with the potential for 45+ kt wind gusts very
possible by the end of the TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...as of 3:02 AM PST Saturday...A 990 mb low centered
240 miles west of Point Reyes will move east towards the San
Francisco Bay Area. A strong frontal system will move onshore
this morning with storm force winds decreasing to gale force
this afternoon. Winds may increase again Sunday afternoon as
another low moves across the northern waters.
