SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Fri May 31 2024

Cooler conditions begin tomorrow with temperatures near seasonal averages across most of the region. Warmer temperatures return Tuesday with moderate HeatRisk through the interior.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Fri May 31 2024

Coastal stratus is degrading across the Central Coast and remains mostly intact along the Big Sur coast and in patches near Marina and Santa Cruz. Elsewhere, skies remain clear through the day with stratus returning overnight across the coast and into Monterey Bay, the Morgan Hill-Hollister corridor, and the East Bayshore. High temperatures will continue to be above seasonal averages today with the interior valleys seeing temperatures in the mid 80s to low 90s, the Bayshore hovering in the upper 60s to mid 70s, and the coast seeing highs in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Lows tomorrow morning will generally hover in the upper 40s to mid 50s, with some of the higher peaks reaching into the low 60s. High resolution models are suggesting a chance for some coastal drizzle early Saturday morning, but any accumulations will be minimal (less than a tenth of an inch).

A cooling trend should start on Saturday as we feel the fringe effects of a shortwave trough coming through the Pacific Northwest, allowing the building of a deeper marine layer. Temperatures will cool to around the seasonal average for most of the region, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s inland, the mid 60s to lower 70s along the Bayshore, and the mid 50s to lower 60s along the coast.
The interior valleys of the North bay and southern Central Coast remain relatively warm as they retain high temperatures into the mid to upper 80s.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Fri May 31 2024

Temperatures remain close to seasonal averages through Monday as a larger trough builds and comes into the Pacific Northwest, with the peak effects on Monday when the North Bay valleys get a day of relief as their highs fall to a seasonal upper 70s to lower 80s in the region.

A warming trend begins on Tuesday as an upper level ridge builds into the western United States. Model ensemble clusters continue to show some disagreement on the strength and location of the ridge axis, leading to considerable uncertainty on just how hot it will get across the region. As of now the latest forecast shows highs peaking on Wednesday, from the 90s into the lower 100s across the interior regions while the coastal areas see highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s. A moderate HeatRisk is in place for the inland regions, with a moderate risk of heat-related illnesses in most people sensitive to heat.

CPC products continue to suggest that temperatures above seasonal averages continue through the middle of June.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1119 PM PDT Fri May 31 2024

VFR persists through the TAF period for the majority of terminals with the exception of Monterey Bay, KSFO, and KOAK where IFR conditions are expected overnight. KSFO may see SCT low clouds develop over the terminal this morning, later forming a CIG to usher in IFR conditions. In the daytime, VFR will return and winds will increase to become moderate and gusty with many coastal terminals seeing winds reach up to 15-20 knots. Winds will be largely out of the W, later turning to develop a slight SW component. It is not until early Sunday that winds are expected to fully diminish.

Vicinity of SFO...Currently VFR, though low clouds will begin to push over the terminal vicinity as stratus continues to travel north along the CA coastline. Models do not have good agreement, but seem to suggest intermittent CIGs forming at KSFO early Saturday morning.
Therefore, have included a TEMPO in the TAF to reflect this, though confidence on CIG formation is low. Come the later morning, VFR is expected to return, with winds strengthening rapidly to become strong and gusty. Gusty winds will reach into the 30 kt range in the afternoon, and will remain gusty through the late night.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...IFR conditions last through the first portion of the TAF period with clearing not expected until the late morning of Saturday as stratus begins to mix out. CIGs lowering to become LIFR this morning is not out of the question, though confidence is currently low, therefore have kept IFR conditions in the TAF. Winds increase in the daytime out of the W to become moderate in the afternoon around 15 knots.

MARINE
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 849 AM PDT Fri May 31 2024

Breezy to gusty northwest winds will continue over the outer waters into the weekend with gale force winds expected late Friday and into Saturday. This will cause a hazardous marine environment.
Significant wave heights will reach up to about 11-12 feet Friday afternoon, but will begin to reduce today through the remainder of the weekend.

MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
