SYNOPSIS
Issued at 154 PM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Warm, dry, and quiet this week as high pressure dominates. Onshore flow and increased cloudiness late week as weak trough moves in.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 154 PM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Mostly clear skies across the region, which will persist through the next few afternoons. Wednesday looks to be near the warmest day of the week with afternoon highs in the mid-to-upper 70s inland, and in the 60s to near 70s along the coast. Inland valley locations may see the 80 degree mark.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 154 PM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

The long term remains mostly dry as well. Pleasant temperatures last through the period, but many location will see a very slight cool down Friday as a weak trough breaks down the ridge and deepens the marine layer. Increased overnight/morning cloudiness, especially along the coast, will accompany the trough as onshore flow and associated moisture increases. Overall no impactful weather to mention throughout the forecast period. Even though the next 7 days remain dry, we keep a good tap of onshore flow and exceptional overnight humidity recovery for any inland location that do dry out during the afternoons.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 426 PM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

VFR with moderate to breezy onshore winds. Winds will become light with a variation of onshore/offshore direction tonight through Wednesday morning. Models show agreement that North Bay terminals may see a reduction of visibility and lower ceilings early Wednesday morning, with lower confidence that Monterey Bay will reach as low as North Bay with IFR/LIFR conditions. VFR is expected to return near 17-18Z as diurnal heating takes into effect.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the TAF period. W/NW breezy winds will diminish to light tonight before rebuilding to breezy by Wednesday afternoon.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the early morning of Wednesday with onshore winds diminishing overnight. Models suggest lower ceilings and visibility but low confidence that it will become lower than MVFR/IFR.

MARINE
