SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1254 PM PDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Cooler temperatures hang on through Monday with breezy daytime winds and marine layer stratus overnight. Tuesday sees a dramatic warmup with a Heat Advisory in effect for the inland areas through Thursday. Temperatures will moderate towards the latter part of the week.
SHORT TERM
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 1254 PM PDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Coastal stratus lingers over the western San Mateo Peninsula, with some cloud cover slipping through the San Bruno Gap, and in the southern Monterey Bay region. Expect the remaining cloud cover over the SF Bay region to dissipate through the rest of the afternoon and brief, if any, clearing for the coastal regions. Stratus returns inland tonight with the potential for gloomy skies through Monday, as the fringes of a cold front that impacts the Pacific Northwest come through the region. High resolution model output is showing some chance (10-20% PoP) for showers in the Sonoma coastal ranges, and coastal drizzle elsewhere, but accumulations are expected to remain very light, up to a few hundredths of an inch at most.
Northwest winds are picking up around the region and gusts will top out at 20 to 30 miles per hour across the gaps and passes. These winds are expected to diminish tonight before picking up again on Monday. Today's highs will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s along the Pacific coast, the mid 60s to lower 70s in the Bayshore, and generally in the upper 70s to lower 80s across the inland valleys.
The North Bay and southern Monterey County valleys will see highs rising into the mid to upper 80s. Low temperatures tonight will hover in the mid 50s to lower 60s, and Monday's highs should be similar to today's, except in the North Bay where the frontal influence will drop high temperatures to the upper 70s to around 80.
LONG TERM
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1254 PM PDT Sun Jun 2 2024
Tuesday sees a pattern change as a subtropical high building in the eastern Pacific comes into the region, warming temperatures to well above the seasonal averages. A Heat Advisory is in effect for Tuesday through Thursday for the interior North Bay and East Bay, and Wednesday through Thursday for the South Bay and interior mountains of the Central Coast, where high temperatures rise into the 90s to the lower 100s and lows hover in the low to mid 60s, perhaps around 70 in the warmest locations. There's still a fair bit of uncertainty in how the warmth will translate to the coast, in particular how the marine layer and onshore winds will impact coastal temperatures. The current forecast calls for temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s along the Bayshore and the mid 60s to lower 70s along the Pacific coast.
Moderate HeatRisk is expected for the inland North Bay, the East and South Bays, and the inland Central Coast through Thursday, meaning that there's a moderate risk of heat-related illnesses for sensitive populations (children, the elderly, pregnant women, those with certain medical conditions, or anyone working outside without cooling or hydration). In addition, we're also starting to see major HeatRisk in some areas of the North Bay valleys and far eastern Contra Costa county on Tuesday, corresponding to a major risk of heat-related illnesses to anyone without effective cooling, adequate hydration, or both. Here are some heat safety tips:
* Stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids.
* Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
* Reduce time spent outdoors or stay in the shade.
* Never leave people or pets unattended in vehicles.
* Use sunscreen if going to the coast or the pool.
A gradual cooling trend is expected to begin later in the week as the high starts to crawl towards the east, with the large scale pattern hinting at a possible southerly wind reversal. By the upcoming weekend, high temperatures are expected to moderate to the low to mid 80s for the inland valleys and the upper 50s to mid 60s closer to the coast.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 442 PM PDT Sun Jun 2 2024
The TAFs are long this evening with strong winds, widespread ceilings, and areas of low-level wind shear expected tonight. The SFO-SAC gradient has decreased slightly from yesterday, but remains healthy at 3.1 mb as of 23Z. Some sheltered sites will see the surface winds decrease overnight, but the synoptic set up will allow strong winds to persist at low flight levels. As such, LLWS is likely to develop near a few terminals. It's explicitly mentioned in the TAF for STS and OAK, but remains possible throughout the Bay Area. The other concern is MVFR-IFR stratus overnight. The confidence is high that stratus will return, but some uncertainty remains regarding the cloud base due to a possible disruption in the marine layer as a weak disturbance moves through Monday morning and flattens the ridge axis.
Vicinity of SFO...Strong westerly winds persist at SFO with gusts into the mid-30 kt range. These winds will gradually decrease through the evening hours, but sustained winds are expected to reamin above 12 kt all night. Low MVFR ceilings are expected to develop overnight at both SFO and OAK. There is a 30% chance for ceilings to drop below 500 ft for a the few hours surrounding sunrise.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...MRY is already back to IFR ceilings after a few hours of relief. SNS is not far behind and should have an MVFR ceiling develop around 03Z, although this may be optimistic as the current visible imagery shows the low clouds spreading faster than expected. While the TAFs don't show it yet, there is an increasing chance for ceilings to drop below 500 ft in the morning. The current HRRR guidance puts the probability around 40% for both MRY and SNS. The visibility is also subject to drop overnight, but with moderate surface winds, ceilings are expected to be the limiting factor for flight conditions during the TAF period.
