Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries...
gentle to moderate winds persist through the early morning today then become strong in the late morning, with gale force winds possible over the far southern coastal waters near point sur. These stronger winds last through Friday morning for most locations, with the exception of the far southern zones where stronger winds persist through at least late Friday. Towards the start of the weekend, a larger, moderate period, northwest swell arrives. Weather conditions will remain unsettled into the weekend.

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1221 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023
Breezy today into early Friday with small rain chances. High pressure brings a warming trend for the weekend. Unsettled pattern persists into next week with the best rain potential across the North Bay.
SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1221 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023
An upper level trough will progress through the region today as surface troughing reaches the Bay Area this evening. Strong high pressure will evolve over the northeast Pacific as lower pressure over the Great Basin maintains a robust onshore pressure gradient.
Given weak forcing and only modest lower tropospheric moisture we're not looking for a whole lot in the rain department with some of the coastal ranges perhaps picking up 0.1" or so. Amounts will be much less elsewhere and on the order of a few hundredths for those who do see precipitation today. The greatest rain potential (15-25%) is generally from mid to late afternoon across the Bay Area and from late afternoon to early evening for the Central Coast. Given the aforementioned pressure gradient expect breezy onshore winds along the coastal interface, within the favorably oriented valleys, within the higher terrain and within the local gaps and passes. While we look to fall short of Wind Advisory criteria gusts in the 20-25 mph range are expected across the region later today and tonight. Given onshore flow and the increased cloud cover highs will largely top out right around 60 degrees for most areas today. Clearing skies tonight will allow overnight lows to dip into the 30s and 40s; coldest in the North Bay Valleys and in far southern Monterey County.
LONG TERM
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1221 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023
We'll remain in an unsettled northwest flow pattern aloft through late week as a series of weak impulses traverse the mean flow.
However the best moisture and forcing should remain displaced to our north. Any rain amounts we do see should be rather inconsequential, although accumulations of up to 0.5" or so are possible in the Sonoma coastal range. High pressure builds at the surface and aloft this weekend leading to drier conditions and a warming trend in temperatures. The ridge weakens for mid to late next week as upper troughing impinges on far NorCal around this time.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 410 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023
Current satellite shows scattered high clouds pushing through the region, obscuring any views of patchy fog that has brought IFR-MVFR conditions to North Bay, and Monterey Bay terminals this morning.
Patchy fog is expected to dissipate towards sunrise. Outside of these few terminals experiencing fog, conditions are VFR, and expected to remain so through the remainder of the TAF period for most, with the exception of KSFO and Monterey Bay terminals where low CIGs may intermittently develop this morning and afternoon.
Winds this afternoon onshore and breezy to gusty, with most terminals seeing gusts up to about 20-22 knots on average. Winds then weaken into the late night to become light and variable for most locations.
Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the morning, with scattered low clouds developing. Into the afternoon, MVFR conditions develop briefly near 20Z as low clouds intermittently form a CIG, but confidence in this at this time is moderate. Beyond 22Z, highest confidence is in a return of prevailing VFR conditions. Winds out of the W/NW this afternoon to be strong and gusty, with gusts up to 27 knots, and lasting through the late night. Winds decrease but remain breezy come the early to mid morning hours of Friday.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...IFR conditions this morning improve to become MVFR into the late morning as low clouds lift and winds begin to increase out of the NW. Winds become breezy and gusting up to 23 knots into the late afternoon. VFR conditions return into the evening today, just as winds begin to decrease to become light to moderate.
MARINE
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 410 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023
Gentle to moderate winds persist through the early morning today then become strong in the late morning, with gale force winds possible over the far southern coastal waters near Point Sur.
These stronger winds last through Friday morning for most locations, with the exception of the far southern zones where stronger winds persist through at least late Friday. Towards the start of the weekend, a larger, moderate period, northwest swell arrives. Weather conditions will remain unsettled into the weekend.
