.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 140 AM PDT Sat May 16 2026 (Today and tonight)
Water vapor imagery continues to show a trough of low pressure
over the West, with a disturbance digging across Northern
California early this morning. The fog imagery shows the leading
edge of the high clouds associated with this disturbance making it
into North Bay at this time, while other areas are still clear.
These high clouds will be relatively shorted lived though, as
this disturbance quickly dives into the Great Basin by this
afternoon. That said, this disturbance will help reinforce the
already moderate onshore pressures gradients across the region,
with the upper level support at 925 mbs increasing to 55 kts as
well, especially over the coastal waters. Therefore, given that
we are continuing to see gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range, with an
isolated gust up to 50 mph along the immediate coast and the
coastal waters at this time, believe that it was prudent to issue
a Wind Advisory for the immediate coast from 11 am today through
5 am on Sunday, all except Santa Cruz which is slightly more
sheltered. Given the strong onshore gradient, expect high temperatures
today to be similar to those of yesterday for the coastal areas,
while inland areas will be several degrees cooler than those of
yesterday. Palmer
&&
.LONG TERM...
Issued at 140 AM PDT Sat May 16 2026 (Sunday through Friday)
Another disturbance will then rotate through the trough and dive
into the Great Basin on Sunday, keeping moderate to strong
pressure gradients going across the region. They will shift
though, turning more northerly or northeasterly. The upper level
support also weakens ever so slightly. Therefore, do not think a
wind advisory will be needed on Sunday, but cannot rule it out
completely, especially for the North and East Bay hills and
mountains.
This broad trough will remain over the Intermountain West through
the first part of the work week, with high pressure trying to
reestablish itself off the West Coast. This will keep Northern and
Central California situated between the two through at least
Tuesday, with dry northerly flow aloft. At this point in time, it
looks like the ridge may start to win out, with a warming trend
possible, especially for our inland areas. Coastal areas though
will likely fall back into our typical May gray pattern with
nighttime and early morning low clouds and fog.
By the end of the work week though, the ensembles are hinting at
another cut off low forming off of the California Coast. This will
likely help reinforce the marine layer and help cool things down
for the inland areas. Palmer

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 950 PM PDT Fri May 15 2026
High confidence VFR through the TAF period for all terminals.
Moderate to strong onshore flow will persist with LLWS tonight
through mid-morning Saturday for the North Bay terminals with a
slight offshore fetch at 2k feet. Relatively moderate to strong
offshore flow will also persist through the TAF period for all
terminals with widespread gradient forcing across our area.
Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the TAF period with strong, persistent
onshore flow at KSFO through the TAF period, more moderate at
KOAK. An Airport Weather Warning for wind gusts of 40 MPH or
higher is likely for Saturday afternoon into the evening hours.
Hazy skies may reduce slantwise visibility at times.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar as SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the TAF period with gusty
onshore flow Saturday afternoon into the evening hours, becoming
breezy after sunset.
&&
.MARINE...
(Tonight through next Thursday)
Issued at 950 PM PDT Fri May 15 2026
Hazardous marine conditions will be widespread through the
weekend. Strong to near gale force northerly winds will increase
further through the weekend, becoming near gale force to gale
force with severe gale force gusts Saturday and Sunday. Expect
isolated storm force gusts along a coastal jet that will develop
off of Big Sur beginning Saturday, with rough to very rough seas.
Conditions will begin to improve by the beginning of next week.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 511 AM PDT Fri May 15 2026
Gusty offshore winds are building and strengthen through the
weekend, leading to elevated fire concerns. Peak gusts above 30 mph
for most areas are expected, with around 40 to 50 mph along the
coast, through gaps and passes, and across the ridgelines. Very low
daytime humidities of 15-25% will prevail across the interior
regions and higher peaks, with reduced overnight humidity
recoveries. Strong winds persist into the early part of Monday
before diminishing, but humidities will be slow to recover as a
modest offshore flow continues into the work week.
&&
.BEACHES...
Issued at 140 AM PDT Sat May 16 2026
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect for west facing
beaches along the Pacific Coast through 9 AM Monday due to strong
winds over the marine environment leading to hazardously strong
wind waves and overall rough seas. Dangerous swimming, boating,
and surfing conditions can be expected. Large breaking waves can
overpower swimmers resulting in significant physical injury and
increase the risk of drowning. Gusts will stay strong along the
immediate coast, causing blowing and drifting sand and increased
sea spray. Water rescue attempts may be hampered by reduced
visibilities from the sea spray. Remember, NEVER turn your back on
the ocean.
