  keep temperatures along the coast and bay in the 80s and low

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out
of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young
children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this heat advisory 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 heat advisory went out at May 28, 11:19 AM PDT, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 11:19 AM PDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
1119 AM PDT Fri May 28 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Temperatures will remain near seasonal averages from
Friday into Saturday with periods of night and morning low clouds
near the coast. A robust warming trend is then forecast to begin
across the interior Sunday before peaking on Memorial Day as high
pressure strengthens across the region.

.DISCUSSION...as of 08:52 AM PDT Friday...GOES-WEST True-Color
imagery showing some light ripples along the marine stratus deck
due west of Monterey Bay this morning. Stratus is quickly mixing
out along the Bay Shoreline and will gradually make way for
clearer skies in the interior this afternoon, with some of it
lingering along portions of the coast. Temps at and above the East
Bay foothills, North Bay Mountains, Santa Cruz Mountains, and the
Santa Lucia Range are already running 5-10 F warmer than this
time 24 hours ago, consistent with the robust warming trend that
will begin today and carry into the weekend.

.PREV DISCUSSION...as of 03:11 AM PDT Friday...Satellite imagery at
this hour is showing a bit more widespread coastal stratus this
morning spreading inland into the East Bay and down into the
Salinas Valley. Additionally, temperatures are running a few to
several degrees warmer compared to 24 hours ago as the mid/upper
level trough that pushed inland into the Pacific Northwest shifts
further inland. As a result, look for temperatures across the
interior to be slightly warmer this Friday afternoon while some
coastal locations may cool a degree or two in response to
increased cloud cover and onshore winds. Only minor changes are
anticipated for Saturday with coastal temperatures ranging from
the upper 50s to mid 60s while 70s to mid 80s continue inland.
Breezy afternoon and evening winds are also expected to impact the
region through Saturday.

A robust warming trend is then forecast to get underway on Sunday as
mid/upper level high pressure over the eastern Pacific nudges inland
over the Pacific Northwest and northern California. This will allow
for offshore flow to develop over the higher terrain of the greater
San Francisco Bay Area as temperatures aloft also begin to warm. The
offshore flow won't be overly strong, but enough to usher in much
drier air, gusty winds and mix down warmer temperatures to the
surface. Thus, more widespread 90s are likely across the interior
with places such as Lake Berryessa potentially reaching the 100 deg
F mark. Meanwhile, onshore flow is forecast to persist near the coast
and around the bays holding temperatures in the 60s (west/northwest
facing areas), 70s for places such as Santa Cruz and into the
low/mid 80s around the San Francisco Bay shoreline. The
aforementioned dry air mass and offshore flow in the hills, ridges
and peaks will keep overnight temperatures mild, likely in the 60s
to lower 70s while coastal and valley locations see more adequate
cooling.

Forecast ensembles indicate the ridge will strengthen aloft on
Memorial Day with near record 850 mb temperatures across the Bay
Area for late May. In turn, look for more widespread mid/upper 90s
across inland areas with the potential for 100-104 deg F afternoon
temperatures in the region's warmest interior spots. Meanwhile, all
guidance at this point continues to suggest the region's natural
air conditioning (cool sea surface temperatures across the Pacific
and onshore flow) will remain in service near the coast. Thus, look
for mid 60s to upper 70s near the coast while areas around the San
Francisco Bay Shoreline and inland from the Monterey Bay warm into
the 80s to lower 90s. At this time, the Heat Risk looks to reach
moderate to high (daytime alone across the interior) with adequate
overnight cooling helping to limit higher risk levels overall from
Sunday night through Monday night. That said, folks sensitive to
heat should be vigilant about staying cool and hydrated during the
hottest part of the day. Additionally, beachgoers should remain
cautious during the Memorial Day Holiday as ocean temperatures
remain in the low/mid 50s which increases the risk of cold water
shock and drowning should one inadvertently fall or be pulled into
the ocean. Lastly, while widespread critical fire weather conditions
are not anticipated, hot and dry weather along with very dry fuels
will pose an elevated fire threat. With approximately 95% of all
wildfires across the state being caused by human activity, please
avoid any actives that could create an accidental fire start.

While temperatures begin to cool slightly region-wide on Tuesday,
above average temperatures will persist across the interior into
mid/late week. Coastal locations will be the first to see cooling as
onshore flow increases and the weak offshore flow over the interior
diminishes. Should also see a return of night/morning stratus near
the coast and breezy afternoon seabreezes by late week.

.AVIATION...as of 4:57 AM PDT Friday...For the 18z TAFs. Thinning
cloud cover will lead to VFR into the afternoon but stratus looks
to linger along the immediate coast. The afternoon will allow for
breezy westerly winds which will last into the evening. Coastal
stratus will begin to move inland in the evening, leading to IFR
around the Monterey Bay. IFR will affect more terminals overnight
with North Bay and Monterey Bay locations seeing the LIFR as cigs
fall below 500 ft AGL.

Vicinity of KSFO...VFR for the afternoon with gusty winds. Expect winds from
the west around 17 kts and around 27 kt gusts. Expect IFR in the
late night as CIGs fall below 1000 ft AGL. Cloud cover lifts to MVFR
mid morning Saturday, and thins for VFR that afternoon with more
gusty westerly winds.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...MVFR turns to VFR into the afternoon as
cloud cover thins. Expect breezy westerly winds through the
afternoon and lingering into the evening. IFR returns in the early
evening as low stratus moves inland from the coast. CIGS fall
further into the night calling for LIFR as ceilings fall below 500
ft AGL until mid morning Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...as of 11:16 AM PDT Friday...High pressure along the West
Coast and low pressure inland will maintain gusty northwest winds
over the waters. These stronger  winds will result in wind driven
seas with smaller southerly and  northwesterly swells. Coastal
jets will develop in between Point  Arena and Point Reyes, as well
as along the Big Sur Coast south of Point Sur in the afternoon and
evening hours. The gusty winds  will produce hazardous conditions
to smaller vessels.
