New AVIATION, MARINE

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1227 AM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024

High pressure brings quiet weather and slowly warming temperatures this week. Breezy onshore winds will keep temperatures along the coast cooler however.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 225 PM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Almost a repeat of Saturday weather wise: ample sunshine with fair weather cumulus, warming trend continues, and breezy to gusty onshore flow. Warmest inland temperatures will approach 80 degrees this afternoon, but will likely fall short by a degree or two. Closer to the coast and bays is much cooler thanks to the persistent onshore flow off the chilly coastal waters. Onshore flow is still showing gusts of 30-40 mph along the coast, gaps/passes, and higher terrain. For the curious weather watcher looking at satellite imagery this afternoon it's always impressive to see standing wave clouds form upwind of coastal terrain. Case in point are the line of the clouds near Pt Reyes, San Mateo coast, and Monterey Peninsula. For the weather geek, flow in the marine boundary layer is forced to decelerate as it hits the terrain causing a wave like feature to form and in this case an undular bore or visually the standing wave cloud.

Large zonal flow remains over the region tonight and early Monday.
A tight shortwave trough will zip through the zonal flow just north of CA early Monday. While this feature will be dry it will however give a re-enforcing shot of northwest winds over the coastal waters, gaps/passes, and higher terrain on Monday. While not strong enough for a Wind Advisory, gale force conditions will impact the coastal water. Similar to Sunday morning, patchy stratus will once again be possible early Monday. Monday afternoon will once again feature mostly sunny skies, patchy coastal stratus, and mild temperatures across the interior.

LONG TERM
(Monday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 236 PM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Subtle riding offshore/barely for CA develops through midweek as an upper low digs/sweeps through the Great Basin. Pretty quiet weather for the week as temperatures will warm gradually and onshore winds decrease. Interior locations will see more widespread 80s with Heat Risk values creeping into the minor category. Patchy night and morning stratus will be possible each day.

Heading into next week the longwave pattern begins to change and become more amplified. An upper low will move into the PacNW by Friday and become more of an open wave/upper trough by Saturday.
This feature will bring the tail end of a weak front across NorCal. As such, light rain is now in the forecast for the far North Bay Saturday night/Sunday morning. Not much QPF, but a few hundredths possible at this point.

Taking a peak farther down the road, clusters and ensembles show a deeper low/upper trough moving into the PacNW the first week of May. This will likely bring cooler temperatures and increased chances for precip. Latest CPC 8-14 day outlook follows that thinking through May 12.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 434 PM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024

VFR for most terminals with the exception of KMRY where a thin line of clouds remain near the coast. Otherwise, mostly clear skies with a few to scattered clouds spread out over the region.
MVFR ceilings will return near Monterey Bay but VFR will prevail through the TAF period for the remainder of the terminals. Strong and gusty onshore flow will remain through the evening before diminishing to light to moderate tonight through early Monday morning where winds are expected to rebuild to breezy and gusty.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the TAF period. NW winds have been close to AWW criteria, therefore, AWW was issued through 05Z. The sustained winds will likely impact runway pattern on the 01s due to strong crosswind.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Mix of MVFR and VFR as KMRY is experiencing some thin low clouds. There is some uncertainty if VFR will occur for KMRY, but expect a short period of time near 04Z. MVFR conditions will return for both terminals overnight. Clearing is expected near 17-18Z.

MARINE
(Tonight through next Friday)
Issued at 434 PM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024

High pressure over the Eastern Pacific and low pressure inland will maintain strong northerly winds over the coastal waters and bays through the remainder of today. Winds will be strongest over the outer waters and along the Big Sur coast. The strong winds will produce fresh steep wind waves and hazardous conditions.
