Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 9:10 PM PDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
910 PM PDT Mon Apr 20 2020
.SYNOPSIS...Continued cloudy and seasonably cool overnight as one
last weak upper trough exits the region. High pressure begins to
build Tuesday with a gradual warming trend through the end of the
work week and into the weekend. Above average temperatures are
then forecast through the end of the month with dry conditions.
&&
.DISCUSSION...as of 9:10 PM PDT Monday...Some rogue showers
continued through sunset, mainly across Sonoma county and the far
East Bay. Throughout the day there were some very light and
scattered showers, most numerous for the Central Coast where a
trace to a few hunredths was recorded at several sites. This was
all due to a weak 500 mb trough passing through the region.
Evening satellite shows plenty of clouds across the region with
most terminals reporting cloud heights between 2000-4000 feet. The
cloud cover will keep overnight lows in the 40s most locations
with lower 50s near the coast/bays.
High pressure begins to build on Tuesday with inland areas warming
back into the 70s. Coastal areas will be under the influence of
brisk onshore flow with potential for low clouds to linger for
much of the day in favored locations like Half Moon Bay and
Monterey.
High pressure to build midweek through the end of the work week
with inland areas warming into the upper 70s and lower/mid 80s.
Temps like this usually wouldnt be too unusual buts its been a
relatively cool March and April. Will see what tonights long
range models show for the weekend. There could be a brief dip in
temps as onshore winds increase with a system passing by to the
north. Some hints in the longer range (next week) for more
pronounced warming for the end of the month.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...as of 01:45 PM PDT Monday...Partly to mostly cloudy
sky conditions prevail over the region this afternoon with
temperatures generally in the upper 50s to middle 60s. Rain
showers have mostly ended over the region as a weak short-wave
trough pushed inland and produced mainly less than one-tenth of an
inch over portions of the Central Coast earlier this morning.
Meanwhile, aside from a stray rain shower, mostly dry conditions
are likely through the remainder of the day. In wake of the
exiting system, look for northwest winds to become breezy and
locally gusty along the coast and even a bit stronger over the
Pacific Ocean and adjacent bays.
Otherwise, a gradual warming and drying trend is forecast to begin
on Tuesday and persist through late week as high pressure builds
over the eastern Pacific. This will result in more widespead 60s and
70s across the interior on Tuesday with inland locations warming
into the lower 80s late in the week. A weak short-wave trough is
forecast to approach the region this upcoming weekend and may help
limit additional warming, yet temperatures will remain near to above
seasonal averages. Dry weather conditions are also likely to prevail
through the extended.
&&
.AVIATION...As of 7:14 PM PDT Monday...For 00Z TAFs. VFR/MVFR for
the 00z taf cycle with onshore winds. A 500 mb ridge returns
tonight through Tuesday night with a gradual return of the marine
layer inversion. A steady inflow of water vapor from the subtropics
moves into our coastal waters mid week thus likely increasing night
and morning stratus and fog coverage.
Vicinity of KSFO...VFR, west wind 15 knots with a few gusts to 20
to 25 knots tonight. MVFR ceiling forecast 10z-16z Tuesday, VFR
thereafter into Tuesday afternoon and evening.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...MVFR ceilings, west to northwest winds 5
to 10 knots. VFR returning by late Tuesday morning and afternoon.
&&
.MARINE...as of 08:45 PM PDT Monday...Northwesterly winds will
gradually increase overnight and into Tuesday over the waters. The
strongest wills will be observed along the Big Sur Coast where
gale-force gusts are possible tomorrow afternoon. These winds will
result in steep fresh swell that will be hazardous for small
craft vessels across most of the waters. A long period northwest
swell arrives this morning and will gradually build through the
day.
