(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus66 kmtr 220036 afdmtr area forecast discussion national weather service san francisco bay area 536 pm pdt Mon aug 21 2017 Synopsis Cooler than average temperatures, especially inland, will persist through midweek with low clouds in the overnight and early morning near the coast and in the valleys. An inland warming trend is then likely late in the week and into the upcoming weekend as high pressure builds back over the region. Discussion As of 01:55 pm pdt Monday... Temperatures are running up to 6 degrees cooler compared to 24 hours ago as low clouds persist over the region. This is a result of the deep marine layer holding on strong at more than 2,000 feet in depth. While low clouds are finally clearing inland and from the south off of the big sur coast, do expect a return of stratus again overnight as a mid upper level low sits off of the southern california coast. Overall, this will bring about temperatures that are generally below seasonal averages through midweek. By midweek and into the upcoming weekend high pressure centered over the four corners region will begin to build toward the california coast. This will result in a warming trend, especially for inland areas, with temperatures rebounding back to or slightly above seasonal averages. Look for more widespread 80s and 90s inland during the afternoon hours under mostly sunny skies. This building ridge will likely compress the marine layer as well with less inland penetration of stratus late in the forecast period. Meanwhile, coastal areas will likely remain in the 60s to 70s as onshore flow persists. Aviation As of 5:05 pm pdt Monday... For 00z tafs. Clearing continues at the hour with ksts just having cleared over the north bay. CIGS are anticipated to return early this evening under a deep 2200 ft marine layer and moderate onshore flow.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
