Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
overcast conditions continue over the majority of the coastline with low level stratus coverage to become more widespread overnight. Potential for patchy fog, patchy haze, and light drizzle returns tonight and continues through tomorrow morning which may result in temporarily reduced visibilities. Northerly to northwesterly flow continues over the coastal waters with widespread fresh to strong gusts conditions spreading north to south over the waters beginning Saturday. Significant wave heights gradually build over the outer coastal waters moving into the weekend and inner coastal waters by the late weekend. Hazardous conditions for small crafts continue over the outer coastal waters with conditions over the inner coastal waters becoming hazardous by late weekend.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 218 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 336 AM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Cooling continues through the weekend, with temperatures largely near seasonal averages. Warming returns early next week as ridging redevelops, though not expecting temperatures to reach as high as they did the last few days.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 218 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Low stratus clouds continue to linger along the coastline with some sunshine occasionally breaking through this afternoon. Clear skies farther inland have allowed temperatures to climb into the 70s and 80s, with some higher elevations to the east and south in the 90s with breezy west/southwest surface winds. An upper level ridge axis will shift east across our area for the remainder of today and tonight while an upper trough deepens over the open water to our west. The upper trough will produce increasing mid/high clouds tomorrow afternoon helping to cool temperatures a few degrees inland, while low stratus clouds persist keeping temperatures along the coast in the 60s. The slow moving upper trough will result in similar conditions on Sunday.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 218 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

The aforementioned slow moving upper trough eventually shifts east by early Monday morning, while a cutoff low splits off from the southern portion of the trough over the southeast Pacific. There's some uncertainty in the synoptic longwave pattern across our area, depending on how the cutoff low evolves over the weekend. The warming trend for the middle of next week and beyond remains in the forecast but the max temperatures have trended slightly lower. The warmer temperatures peak on Wednesday, with a gradual cooling trend for late in the week as the cutoff low begins to move onshore across SOCAL.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1041 AM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

The coastal stratus is mixing out and most terminals have returned to VFR conditions. With high pressure aloft, the North Bay terminals have been slight visibility reductions in haze. A 500 mb ridge axis will gradually push through this evening before troughing begins to move in Saturday. This will allow the marine layer to compress slightly overnight and should bring ceilings lower. Otherwise moderate onshore winds will remain in place before drainage flow sets up in the valleys tonight.

Vicinity of SFO...Winds are currently from the NNE, but will soon shift to the standard 280 this afternoon. SFO is currently VFR, with model guidance suggesting a push of stratus through the Golden Gate this afternoon. This will likely bring MVFR CIGs to OAK by the late afternoon/early evening, but due to the wind direction and terrain shelter, SFO has a better chance of staying VFR with low clouds remaining to the N and E. SFO won't dodge the low clouds forever though as a deepening marine layer will very likely bring MVFR conditions to the terminal Saturday morning.

SFO Bridge Approach...The bridge approach is likely to stay clear this evening, even if SFO and OAK develop ceilings.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Morning ceilings are starting to clear and there is a 6 or 7 hour window of VFR conditions expected before they return. With a compressing marine layer, MRY has about a 50% chance of seeing LIFR conditions in the morning, with a 40% chance at SNS. There is also a decent chance for morning mist, and subsequent TAF updates may get more aggressive dropping the visibility. Otherwise SNS has been reporting some haze this morning, and that is expected to continue under high pressure.
Expected moderate W-NW winds through the TAF.

MARINE
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1041 AM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Areas of fog and drizzle will cause reduced visibility through the morning across Monterey Bay and along the Big Sur Coast.
Winds and seas will remain hazardous for areas along and north of the Greater Farallones through Friday afternoon where Small Craft Advisories remain in effect. Elsewhere, winds and seas are forecast to subside below 20 knots and 10 feet, respectively. This will be relatively short lived as 20-25 knot winds increase during the pre-dawn hours on Sunday. Seas will respond later Sunday morning and into the afternoon, likely necessitating additional marine headlines.

MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
CA...None.
PZ...Small Craft Advisory from 9 AM Saturday to 3 AM PDT Sunday for Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 0-10 nm.

Small Craft Advisory from 3 PM Saturday to 3 AM PDT Sunday for Pigeon Pt to Pt Pinos 10-60 NM-Pt Reyes to Pigeon Pt 0-10 nm.

Small Craft Advisory until 3 AM PDT Sunday for Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 10-60 NM.
