Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 232 PM PST Wed Mar 3 2021
SYNOPSIS. Dry weather conditions will prevail with temperatures near seasonal averages into early Friday. A frontal boundary will bring widespread, yet generally light rainfall to the Bay Area and Central Coast Friday night into Saturday. Cool, mostly dry and breezy conditions are likely for the upcoming weekend. Continued cool and unsettled weather returns through the first half of next week.
DISCUSSION. as of 01:40 PM PST Wednesday . A mix of sun and clouds around the Bay Area and Central Coast this afternoon as a low pressure system swings into Southern California. The counter- clockwise rotation around the low is directing ample clouds northward. Weather radars across Southern California are showing decent rainfall activity moving inland. Bay Area radars on the other hand are quiet. There are a few echoes showing up near the Monterey/SLO county line, but this is likely just high clouds/virga.
The low pressure system to the south is on track to move eastward over the next 24 hours into the the Desert Southwest. Simply put, dry weather will continue through at least Thursday night. Temperatures will remain near seasonal averages as well.
By Friday a shift in the pattern as an upper low trough swings into NorCal. The trough will also have a cold front associated with it. This front will slowly move into the North Bay late Friday morning and then slowly progress through the Bay Area through early Saturday. The front will bring a return of some rainfall to the region. Onset of rain will begin in the North Bay late morning and making to SF Bay by afternoon and finally the Central Coast Friday evening. The front initially has a decent moisture tap as it moves into the North Bay, but the continuous moisture tap fades as the front moves southward. Rainfall amounts are generally 0.5"-0.75" for the coastal ranges/hills, 0.25"-0.50" for immediate Bay Area and North Bay and 0.25" or less elsewhere. Interior portions of Monterey/San Benito will generally be less than 0.10". Enough colder air will fill in behind the fropa that any lingering showers through early Saturday may be snow over the higher peaks. Drier weather returns Saturday afternoon with some sunshine, but temperatures will be cool. Dry conditions again on Sunday, but only a warm up of a few degrees on Sunday.
Does the storm door finally open back up next week or at least open a crack? Longer range models, both deterministic and ensembles, show a colder and unsettled pattern for next week. The first in a series of disturbances passes through the region on Monday. Guidance suggests rain returns on Monday. Precip will likely continue Tuesday and Wednesday as a another upper low drifts into NorCal. Atmospheric River guidance also shows that moisture taps will be limited Monday through Wednesday. One difference is that much colder air will accompany these systems so snow falling over the higher peaks will be possible.
CPC keeps much of the region with higher chances for precip through the middle of the month.
AVIATION. as of 10:00 AM PST Wednesday . For the 18Z TAFs. VFR continues. BKN-OVC high clouds continue to stream overhead and obscure the view of any patchy low clouds but have not gotten reports of terminals being impacted. Vicinity of KSFO . VFR, light wind increasing to 15 knots westerly in the afternoon and early evening. Light wind tonight into early Thursday morning becoming enhanced southwesterly by late Thursday morning. SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals . VFR, light east to southeast winds this morning becoming onshore 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon and early evening. Light east to southeast winds tonight and Thursday morning.
MARINE. as of 02:28 PM PST Wednesday . Northwest swell diminishing today. On Thursday, gusty south winds will develop over the northern coastal waters. Moderate period northwest swell increases to long period swell during the day Thursday into early Friday. A slow moving low pressure system arrives from the northwest with rain Friday evening through Saturday.
BEACHES. as of 03:00 PM PST Wednesday . A Beach Hazards Statement has been issued for 3 am Thursday to 3 am Friday. A long period northwest swell will create dangerous beach conditions with increased risk of sneaker waves, rip currents, and long shore currents. Do not turn your back to the ocean. Stay off rocks and jetties.
