Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
1048 AM PDT Sat Jun 5 2021
.SYNOPSIS...Another round of breezy to locally gusty onshore
winds will be possible today and Sunday, keeping coastal areas
similar to yesterday and bringing some minor cooling to inland
areas. Much cooler inland temperatures are expected Monday as a
trough of low pressure develops near the West Coast and onshore
winds strengthen further. Temperatures will then remain well below
normal, especially inland, through much of next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...As of 09:00 AM PDT Saturday...Water vapor imagery
shows a complicated weather pattern along the West Coast this
morning, with a trough of low pressure moving into the Pacific
Northwest, a cutoff low centered near 31 North and 127.5 West,
and high pressure starting to shift east. As a result, a few high
clouds associated with the tail end of the cold front will be
possible across the region today as well as some gusty onshore
winds developing. The strongest winds will likely be along the
coast and also through the passes and gaps. These winds will help
moderate temperatures a bit across the inland areas as well today,
with some minor cooling possible. Meanwhile, coastal areas should
see temperatures today similar to yesterday. Otherwise, just
dealing with some patchy low clouds and fog this morning, mainly
around the Monterey Bay, the Salinas Valley, and the Big Sur
Coast. The Fort Ord Profiler shows that this marine layer is
around 1500 feet deep. Current forecast is handling these trends
well, so no update is planned at this time. Palmer
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...As of 02:36 AM PDT Saturday...Areas of
morning marine stratus and a slight cooling trend expected today
as yesterday's ridge moves eastward while a weak upper level
trough sits over the Eastern Pacific. However, today's highs will
likely be similar to yesterday along the coast and just a few
degrees cooler inland since there won't be a drastic change in the
pattern impacting our region. Near the surface, the Fort Ord
profiler continues to show a fairly steady marine layer depth
around 1500 ft. Aloft, the 850 mb temperatures may only cool
around a degree and the 500 mb heights will linger near 585-587
dam. As onshore flow continues, we'll see another round of breezy
to locally gusty west to northwest winds again this afternoon and
early evening. Sunday will be a general repeat with another few
degrees of cooling and breezy onshore winds in the
afternoon/evening. Daytime coastal highs for Saturday and Sunday
will range mid 50s to upper 60s while inland areas are in the 70s
and 80s with some of our hotter spots peaking in the low 90s.
Afternoon wind gusts will mostly be between 15-25 mph except
isolated observations up to 40 mph in our windiest spots (like
Altamont Pass).
This cooling trend will continue into early next week as we
see a more significant lowering of daytime highs by Monday when a
secondary trough from the Pacific NW digs southward. On Monday
afternoon, the models are showing 850 mb temperatures around 12
degrees C compared to around 22 degrees C yesterday. Daytime highs
across our region on Monday will cool notably inland with
widespread mid 60s to mid 70s (coastal regions will still persist
in the mid 50s to mid 60s). That puts inland highs around 7-12
degrees below seasonal normals. Will also need to watch the winds
on Monday and Tuesday as that stronger trough moves inland. We
could see enhanced gusts over our higher terrain and along the
coast.
That stronger trough will linger into the middle of next week
before finally pushing eastward and allowing for a warm up for
Thursday and Friday next week.
Looking beyond our 7 day forecast, models continue to hint that
an upper level low might bring some rain potential as far south as
our CWA the second weekend of June...will be monitoring this to
see if that trend persists.
&&
.AVIATION...As of 10:50 AM PDT Saturday...For the 18z TAFs. A dry
cold boundary will pass southeastward through the region today,
primarily resulting in a band of high clouds midday. Otherwise,
breezy to gusty onshore winds near the coast and through coastal
gaps today. Marine stratus will struggle tonight but will develop
along the western shores of the Peninsula from Half Moon Bay
southward into the Monterey Bay, bringing IFR-MVFR cigs to
KMRY/KSNS and Half Moon Bay with VFR elsewhere. Gusty onshore
winds resume tomorrow afternoon. Peak gusts 15-30kt, depending on
proximity to coast/coastal gaps.
Vicinity of KSFO...VFR. Breezy onshore winds 14-18kt with peak
gusts 25-30kt this afternoon. A few passing high clouds. A few low
clouds overnight in the pre dawn hours but clearing shortly after
sunrise.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to KSFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...Breezy onshore winds today with VFR cigs
through at least 23Z. Some models hint at an early return of
IFR/MVFR BKN/OVC cigs by 00-02Z, so have split difference with 01Z
earliest return time of BKN008 at KMRY this evening, though
confidence is moderate to low. Model/ensemble estimate clearing
time between 1630-1730Z SUN for VFR conditions returning.
&&
.MARINE...as of 10:42 AM PDT Saturday...Strengthening moderate to
locally strong northwest winds today. The strongest winds are
forecast to occur in the waters north and west of Point Reyes with
gale force gusts. Winds will be locally stronger along the coastal
jets during the afternoon as well. These winds will generate steep
to very steep waves resulting in hazardous seas conditions,
particularly for smaller vessels. Seas are predominantly wind
driven with northwest waves at around 8 to 10 seconds along with
a weaker longer period southerly swell.
