Fxus66 kmtr 241119 afdmtr area forecast discussion national weather service san francisco bay area 319 am pst Thu jan 24 2019 Synopsis High pressure over the west coast will result in a gradual warming trend through Saturday, along with mainly clear sky conditions and cool overnights. The dry pattern is forecast to persist through the remainder of the month. Discussion As of 3:15 am pst Thursday... The large scale weather feature dominating the region has not changed much over the last 24 hours - upper level high pressure remains off the west coast and a deep trough digs east of the rockies. However, subtle changes at the surface has changed sensible weather overnight. The latest 24 hour trends indicates a slight uptick in dew points, which is leading to slightly warmer temperatures this morning. Temperatures are still on the chilly side though - upper 30s and 40s. Additionally, the increased low level moisture and light winds resulted in patchy fog. Therefore, patchy fog has been added to the forecast this morning. Lastly, there still could be some patchy frost in the interior protected valleys. The general forecast thinking through the upcoming weekend hasn't changed much. The upper level ridge will continue to strengthen and eventually move inland this weekend. A weak shortwave trough will ride on the northern periphery later today and Friday resulting in offshore flow at the surface. Building high pressure and offshore flow will continue the gradual warming trend. Highs will peak Friday and Saturday in the 60s to lower 70s, which is five to ten degrees above normal for this time of year. Overnight lows will remain cool and in the 30s and 40s. It should be noted though, the passing shortwave trough will also result in breezy conditions over the higher terrain of the north and east bay.

Conditions will begin to moderate late in the weekend and into early next week as the ridge weakens and shifts westward. Simply put, dry conditions through the end of the month. Operational runs of the GFS and canadian models still shows a pattern shift early february with some precip moving into the bay area. The ecmwf also shows a pattern change, but less in the way of precip. Ensemble guidance however is a little more optimistic with precip chances the first week of february. Stay tuned! one final addition - if you're a weather nut watch the weather over the mid west the next week or two. Two solid pushes of arctic air will cause temperatures and wind chills to plummet. The overall anomalies with these airmasses are off the chart and will be the coldest season. Aviation As of 10:00 pm pst Wednesday...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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.
