Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
strengthening surface high pressure over the eastern pacific ocean in addition to an upper-level trough will allow for strong northwesterly winds to prevail today and tomorrow with gale force gusts especially possible over the northern zones and outer waters. This surface high pressure will weaken and retrograde to the west heading into the weekend allowing for northwesterly winds to slightly diminish. Significant wave heights will build to 12 to 14 feet by Thursday with an abating trend set for Friday into the weekend.

New AVIATION, MARINE

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 255 AM PDT Tue May 28 2024

Near seasonal temps inland again today with the coast remaining cool under a well-formed marine layer. Pleasant weather continues through the week.

SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 255 AM PDT Tue May 28 2024

Another day with temperatures right around seasonal averages across inland areas. Coastal areas will still be under the influence of a stout marine layer with cool temps in the upper 50s to near 60. Passing upper trough through the PacNW flattens out our ridge a bit, putting a slight pause on the warming as we move into the middle part of the week. Overall no major changes to the short term period.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 255 AM PDT Tue May 28 2024

The cooling trend will be short-lived as the flattened ridge begins to build back over the region with warming 850 mb temps and rising 500 mb heights. Still looks like night/morning clouds with inland afternoon sunshine will persist. The warming trend will continue into this weekend with the warmest temps expected Thursday and Friday. Far inland locations will reach the low 90s by week's end.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1056 AM PDT Tue May 28 2024

Currently VFR at all terminals except the Monterey Bay terminals of MRY and SNS which have been slow to clear of IFR and MVFR stratus, respectively. Moderate confidence in VFR through the TAF period at all terminals with the exception of the Monterey Bay terminals of MRY and SNS. Winds will be gusty out of the west/northwest this afternoon and evening with gusts of 20-25 knots to be expected at all terminals, 30 knots to be expected at SFO.

Vicinity of SFO...Currently VFR with westerly flow. Moderate confidence in VFR through the TAF period. Westerly winds will continue to be on the increase with gusts up to 30 knots to be expected this afternoon and evening. Winds will become less gusty overnight, slightly diminishing through the late morning hours before ramping back up again tomorrow afternoon.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Currently IFR with northwesterly flow at MRY and MVFR with northerly flow at SNS. Breezy to gusty westerly winds will prevail through the TAF period. High confidence that both terminals will receive at least a low-end MVFR ceiling overnight with lower confidence on exact timing and if the ceiling will further deteriorate to IFR.
