New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

Hot again today as the heatwave peaks. A couple of degrees cooler Thursday, followed by further cooling Friday. Above average temperatures hang around through the weekend. Another potential hot period mid next week.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

Temperature today running pretty well in line with the forecast.
Based off of temperatures yesterday, kept today's forecast nudged toward the 90th percentile. Many locations will see highs today very similar to yesterday, a few degrees higher for areas south of the SF Bay Area. The only exception would be the immediate coastline where onshore flow is battling to keep the shallow marine layer intact. These areas are running a couple of degrees cooler. By Thursday, a shortwave trough around the periphery of a deep upper low in the Gulf of Alaska traverses through the West Coast, deepening the marine layer a bit and slightly enhancing the onshore flow. This will cool temperatures further for most locations, aside from the far inland spots like interior Napa, far eastern Alameda and Contra Costa, and interior Monterey/San Benito.

LONG TERM
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1255 PM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

The Heat Advisory expires at midnight Thursday night with further deepening of the marine layer and additional cooling expected by Friday into the weekend. Above average temperatures persist through the weekend as upper level ridging dominates the pattern over the west. However, persistent onshore flow and a weak trough over the eastern Pacific should moderate our temps enough to keep them a bit lower into early next week. The middle of next week looks like our next potentially impactful warm period as the ridge builds once again.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1034 AM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

Currently VFR at all terminals with not a cloud in the sky. Winds will remain onshore through the TAF period. Moderate confidence in VFR through the TAF period. The increase in onshore flow will result in higher relative humidities and thus lower dew point depressions.
Confidence is not high on if the terminals will see any reduction in flight category through the TAF period; however, with the pattern being dominated by high pressure, the most likely outcome would be LIFR conditions in the early-to-mid morning hours with greater confidence of occurrence at terminals immediately adjacent to the coast.

Vicinity of SFO...Currently VFR with easterly flow. Moderate confidence in VFR through the TAF period. Winds will transition to become westerly and gusty this afternoon with gusts up to 25 knots to be expected. Winds will diminish overnight and remain westerly through the TAF period.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Currently VFR with northwesterly flow at both terminals. Winds will prevail out of the west for MRY and out of the northwest for SNS. Low to moderate confidence on VFR through the TAF period at both terminals with higher confidence in SNS than MRY.

MARINE
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 1034 AM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

Surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will allow for moderate to strong northwesterly breezes to prevail through the period. Significant wave heights will continue to build to 10 to 15 feet today with an abating trend set for Thursday through Saturday before significant wave heights build again towards the end of the period.

BEACHES
Issued at 415 AM PDT Wed Jun 5 2024

A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from Wednesday morning through Thursday evening.

A moderate-rough NW swell will arrive today and create large breaking waves and an increased risk for sneaker waves. Breaking waves will reach as high as 15 ft, especially along steep beaches.
Sneaker waves can run over 100 ft up a dry beach, pulling people in the water from rocks, jetties, and beaches. Inexperienced swimmers should stay out of the water. Observe the ocean for 20 minutes before relaxing on the beach. The hot weather inland will lead to more people visiting the beach this week. Know where lifeguards are, obey their instructions, and never turn your back on the ocean!
