Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
surface high pressure over the eastern pacific ocean shift eastward towards california. As a result, the pressure gradient will tighten and northwesterly winds will increase, particularly over the northernmost zones and outer waters. Significant wave heights will build to very rough over the outer waters through early next week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 138 PM PDT Thu May 16 2024

SYNOPSIS
Seasonably warm weather continues. Mostly sunny and dry conditions persist with periodically breezy winds. Isolated shower or thunderstorm chances over the High Sierra south of Highway 50 Saturday afternoon.

.DISCUSSION (Today through Sunday)...
Current GOES-West satellite imagery shows abundant sunshine being observed across interior northern California on this Thursday afternoon. The small area of marine stratus that moved in through the Delta and into portions of the southern Sacramento Valley this morning has dissipated. Temperatures are currently trending approximately 5 to 15 degrees cooler than this time yesterday afternoon, valid at 1 PM PDT, as a trough to the north is flattening the ridge that brought us the very warm temperatures the past several days. Slightly cooler, but still seasonably warm temperatures prevail over the short term.

Generally quiet and dry conditions continue over the short term, with the exception of the potential for isolated shower or thunderstorm development over the High Sierra from Highway 50 southward Saturday afternoon through early evening, where the National Blend of Models (NBM) suggests a 15-25% probability of thunderstorm development. The Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) also highlights the mountain areas for CAPE. Otherwise, the Delta Breeze may bring some marine stratus into the Delta area and southern Sacramento Valley tonight, and high resolution guidance suggests a 30-40% probability of the low clouds over that general area.

.EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Monday THROUGH Thursday)...
Ensemble guidance and cluster analysis generally indicate dry and seasonably warm weather prevailing from early to mid next week with daytime high temperatures trending slightly above the climatological normal for the third week of May as more of a troughing influence (rather than ridging, observed over the past few days) is favored over the extended forecast period. Heat Risk is expected to remain in the Minor category for the Valley, with highs generally in the 80s. Towards the second half of the week, model guidance suggests another trough dropping down from the Gulf of Alaska mid to late next week. Uncertainty remains in the potential for any shower chances with this trough, and there is still a fairly large spread in high temperatures over this timeframe.

AVIATION
VFR conditions next 24 hours except local IFR/MVFR ceilings possible vicinity western Delta into portions of the Sacramento metro area 14-17Z associated with marine layer stratus. Breezy southwesterly surface wind gusts 25-35 kts (Delta breeze) continue in the west Delta with local southerly surface wind gusts 15-20 kts in the Sacramento Valley into tonight, otherwise winds generally less than 12 kts.

STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
