Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries...
southerly winds will steadily increase today as a low pressure system approaches the the local waters. Fresh to moderate breezes are anticipated, with briefly strong breezes possible in the northern offshore waters. Scattered showers will develop late tonight and persist through the first half of Wednesday. An isolated Thunderstorm or two is also possible. Winds will gradually diminish and shift to northerly late Wednesday into Thursday before strong breezes develop by Thursday night. A larger moderate period northwest swell should arrive by late week. Weather conditions will remain unsettled into this weekend with plenty of cloud cover and periodic shower chances.

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 111 AM PST Tue Nov 28 2023
A low pressure system offshore will bring rain chances to the region late tonight into Wednesday. An unsettled pattern will continue into the weekend with periodic shower chances persisting.
Rain amounts overall will be light with temperatures on the cool side.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 111 AM PST Tue Nov 28 2023
Low pressure aloft was evident via moisture channel imagery this morning around 500 nm west of the Redwood Coast. A consensus of forecast models suggest this wave will devolve to an open-wave trough while dropping southeast through the Bay Area and Central Coast tonight into Wednesday morning. The associated surface low should remain offshore with the occluded front making its nearest approach to the CA coast Wednesday morning. Given the offshore trajectory of the low-level features the greatest forcing for ascent should remain offshore; however still expect scattered showers to spread inland from west to east from around midnight on Wednesday through the morning hours. Shower chances should taper off from northwest to southeast, with chances generally ending in the Bay Area during the late morning hours but perhaps lingering for the Central Coast into the early afternoon. Amounts will be greatest in the coastal ranges where 0.5-0.75" is possible, but elsewhere look for amounts of generally 0.25" or less. So this should be a beneficial rainfall with no real hydrologic concerns expected. Some modest instability will be present over the Pacific waters as well so can't rule out an isolated thunderstorm or two (~15% potential)
there. However odds of seeing any lightning for land areas is much lower (~5%). High temperatures will undergo a cooling trend given more cloud cover with afternoon temperatures mostly in the lower to mid 60s for the lower elevations. Overnight readings will remain a bit milder with lows mostly in the 40s.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday Night through Monday)
Issued at 111 AM PST Tue Nov 28 2023
The region will remain in an unsettled northwest flow pattern aloft as a series of weak perturbations traverse the mean flow. In general the best moisture and forcing for ascent will remain across far NorCal and the Pacific Northwest, however we'll remain just close enough to occasionally be brushed with some light showers. Rain amounts don't appear overly impressive (generally 0.10" or less)
although it's possible the Sonoma Coastal Ranges could receive up to 0.25" through early next week. Expect a gradual warming trend in temperatures through early next week as the greatest rain chances shift north of our area.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 401 AM PST Tue Nov 28 2023
At this time, conditions are VFR across the region, and expected to last through much of the TAF period, though midlevel clouds will begin to develop as a low pressure system begins to approach late today. Winds are generally light and variable this morning, and only strengthen slightly into the daytime today, generally staying below 10 knots for most terminals out of the S/SW. Into the evening hours, winds weaken to become light once more but turn to become more SE into the late night as rain chances begin for SF Bay terminals and north. Into the early morning hours of Wednesday, winds strengthen slightly to around 8-10 knots out of the SE as the best rain chances begin.
Vicinity of SFO...Generally VFR through the TAF period, though rain beginning into the late night tonight may somewhat reduce visibilities at times. Winds strengthen to around 10 knots into the late afternoon out of the S/SW, then weaken into the evening. Into the late night tonight to early morning hours of Wednesday, rain chances begin and winds increase slightly out of the SE. Towards the late morning of Wednesday, rain chances look to begin to decrease as the system pushes out of the region.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the TAF period, with mid to high level clouds present. Current breezy drainage winds at KSNS turn to become more N into the late afternoon, but only briefly. At KMRY, winds become more SW and breezy around 10 knots. Both terminals see winds weaken to become light into the early evening.
SE winds increase into the mid morning hours of Wednesday but stay 10 knots and below. Rain chances begin to appear just barely beyond the TAF period at this time.
MARINE
Issued at 147 AM PST Tue Nov 28 2023
