New UPDATE
SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1223 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
High pressure will bring quiet weather over the next several days.
Cold overnights and interior frost/freezing conditions are expected this weekend before a gradual warming trend occurs early next week.
UPDATE
Issued at 915 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
To start the weekend, upper level ridging is nosing in from the SW. A few high clouds are riding the periphery of the ridge this morning, but for the most part sunny skies to start the day.
Despite a few clouds overhead this morning conditions were good enough for some radiational cooling. Interior portions of the North Bay Valleys and interior Monterey/San Benito are currently under a Freeze Warning and also the coldest locations. A few spots in the Salinas Valley reached the mid to upper 20s. Bradley for instance hit 25 degrees this morning. While other areas were not in a Frost/Freeze product it was still chilly. Even a few coastal locations hits the mid to upper 30s. No updated needed this morning...
After the chilly start today will be a mild and in the 60s.
SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1223 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
The storm track will be diverted well to our north as high pressure aloft noses into our area from the southwest. This will support surface ridging as it expands to encompass the Great Basin and provide a light offshore wind regime to the area. After a cold and frosty (for some) start this morning look for temperatures to reach the lower to mid 60s across the region today with plenty of sunshine. Tonight will be cool, but not quite as cold as the previous nights have been. That said, the coldest portions of the inland Central Coast and North Bay valleys will still see temperatures at or below 35 degrees or so. Therefore the Freeze Watch was converted to a Frost Advisory for these areas from late tonight into Sunday morning. Remember to protect people, pets, plants and pipes from the cold.
LONG TERM
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1223 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
Relatively quiet weather will prevail for the remainder of the week with gradually warming daytime temperatures. Overnight readings will remain cool however with the coldest interior locations dipping into the upper 30s and 40s. Daytime highs will be mostly in the 60s.
Looking ahead deterministic models and their ensembles suggest a more unsettled pattern developing around December 16th-18th.
Still some fine tuning of the details but it does appear that rain will re- enter the forecast picture around this time.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 329 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
High pressure dominates the pattern. The terminals will remain mostly VFR with few to scattered high clouds and light to gentle winds through the day. The only exception is STS, where some morning mist/fog will reduce the visibility to MVFR/IFR. It's also worth noting that the temperature is approaching freezing and some aircraft icing is expected before the mist/fog clears after sunrise. There is also a low to moderate chance for dense fog and LIFR conditions to develop at STS later this morning.
Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the TAF period. Light winds may shift erratically with no discernible steering flow through mid day. A gentle NW sea breeze will develop in the afternoon before winds return to light and variable Sat night.
SFO Bridge Approach... Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals... VFR through the TAF period. Light drainage flow this morning before onshore flow resumes in the afternoon.
MARINE
(Tonight through next Wednesday)
Issued at 301 AM PST Sat Dec 9 2023
