.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 329 AM PST Tue Nov 11 2025
(Today and tonight)
The forecast is on track this morning, as high level clouds stream in
from a storm system churning over the Pacific. This has kept
temperatures varied, but all be it, warmer than normal. Depending on
where you're at, temperatures vary from the upper 40s to upper 50s
for interior valleys and folks along the coast and the low 60s to
low 70s for those on the mountains. This will help lead to another
warm and dry day; however, cloud cover and the upper level ridge
over southern California flattening, should limit high temperature
growth compared to what we've seen the last few days. Highs for
Tuesday will range from the mid 70s to low 80 for interior valleys
and higher terrain, while coastal communities peak in the mid 60s to
low 70s.
The pattern continues to shift to zonal flow late Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning, setting us up for a midweek pattern change and
unsettled weather.

.LONG TERM...
Issued at 329 AM PST Tue Nov 11 2025
(Wednesday through Monday)
A strong upper low will advanced towards the West Coast Wednesday
into Thursday with the trough digging towards the PacNW and northern
California. This will bring unsettled weather to the Bay Area and
portions of the Central Coast, primarily increasing southerly winds
and rain. There are some models that hint a slight chance for
thunderstorms offshore and perhaps over the North Bay counties late
Wednesday evening and into the early overnight hours. Chances for
thunder spread south early Thursday morning and into the afternoon
hours. We will have decent shear and moisture, but CAPE is low
or low. This should keep any thunderstorm development well below
severe criteria with the main concerns being gusty winds, heavy rain,
and flashes of lightning. Chances for thunder generally sit at 20%
or less with this forecast package update. When it comes to rainfall
totals, the forecast generally remains on track. From 4 AM Wednesday
through 4 AM Friday, the regions coastal ranges can expect the see 2-
3" of rainfall, 1-2" in the higher terrain elsewhere in the region
and the North Bay, 1-1.25" in the City of San Francisco, and
generally less than 1" in the interior valleys and around the
Monterey Bay region. There is the potential for less rainfall within
the typically rain shadowed valleys (perhaps significantly less
rainfall).
Moving on to the other hazard, wind. Models and ensemble guidance
continue to depict southerly winds ramping up late Wednesday night
through Thursday morning before tapering. Look for wind gusts to
range from 35 to 45 mph for interior valley locations, with stronger
gusts up to 45 to 55 mph along the coast and at the higher
elevations. Stronger gusts, potentially in excess of 60 mph, are
possible through favored gaps and passes.
Once the main front moves through, we'll be left with post-frontal
showers Thursday into Friday. A drying trend is expected on
Saturday, though this should be brief as ensembles favor a trough
pattern to return after that.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1105 AM PST Tue Nov 11 2025
Widespread VFR lingers into the evening with overcast high clouds.
Expect light to moderate winds for the afternoon that will reduce
for most areas into the evening and into the night. Low CIGs form
along the coast in the evening and slowly move inland into the late
night. Breezy to gusty south and southeast winds build in the north
Bay and along the coast into Wednesday morning with spotty light
rain and drizzle. These winds will become widespread later into the
day ahead of a strong cold front. Expect moderate to at times heavy
rains and stronger winds later into Wednesday night.
Vicinity of SFO...VFR lasts into early Wednesday. Winds stay light
into the mid afternoon before becoming moderate and northwesterly
then southwesterly into the evening. Winds reduce into the night and
become light and variable. MVFR CIGS and southerly winds build into
Wednesday morning with stronger south winds building into that
afternoon along with spotty pre-frontal shower activity.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR lasts into the evening. Moderate
westerly winds build into the afternoon with overcast high clouds.
Winds reduce into the evening as IFR CIGs build around the bay and
fill the terminals into the night. Low cloud cover looks to erode
into the mid morning on Wednesday.

.MARINE...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 1105 AM PST Tue Nov 11 2025
Light to moderate winds last into Wednesday before a strong cold
front approaches the area. Winds before and along the front will
produce gales, including possibly storm force gusts over the
northern and inner coastal waters, while passing eastward across
the coastal waters and bays late Wednesday and early Thursday.
Heavy rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms will accompany the
cold front. Strong winds combined with a building NW swell will
generate hazardous seas across the waters. Winds will decrease
Friday, but the larger swell continues to build with seas up to 15
feet before diminishing through the weekend.
