Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 904 PM PDT Thu Jul 9 2020

SYNOPSIS. The remainder of the work week and into the upcoming weekend will experience a warming and drying trend, primarily across interior locations. Onshore flow will keep areas near the coast mild, along with areas of night and morning low clouds and fog. By early next wee, a slight cooling trend is forecast for inland areas.

DISCUSSION. as of 09:01 PM PDT Thursday . Afternoon temperatures Thursday mostly ranged from the upper 70s to the low 80s, with some inland areas reaching the upper 80s. Winds remain onshore and breezy, but the SFO-ACV gradient has climbed to 6.1 mb which is a driving factor to the clear skies over the entire region. A few clouds may move over land overnight, but otherwise it should remain mostly clear, with the exception being areas around the Monterey Bay as cloud cover should fill in again tonight.

The forecast remains on track. High pressure over the desert southwest is still forecast to move slowly toward the Bay Area initiating a warming and drying trend which will last through the weekend. No heat products are issued at this time, but temperatures will likely increase through the next several days into the 80s and 90s, with isolated areas in far inland portions of the North Bay, East Bay and Southern Monterey counties could see the 100s by Sunday. By Monday, the next upper level trough will move over Northern and portions of Central California providing some cooling.

PREV DISCUSSION. as of 01:50 PM PDT Thursday . Sunny skies blanket much of the Bay Area this afternoon. The morning low clouds rolled back to the immediate coast with a majority of the low clouds from Monterey Bay southward. The N-S gradient is still pretty robust at 5.6 mb keeping northern areas cloud free. Temperatures this afternoon are with in the ballpark of yesterday's temperatures - some places are up a few and other down a few. In the grand scheme of things it's a rather nice day around the Bay Area.

The big weather impact to the region, and moreso to the state, will be the building high pressure and resulting warm up. For about a week now models have shown a very impressive high pressure locking in over the Four Corners and nudging into CA. Latest 12Z model run still shows a 600+ DAM high building over the Desert Southwest/Four Corners region Friday and over the weekend. Needless to say, those heights at 500 mb are several standard deviations above normal. Extremely dangerous heat is being forecast in that region with numerous heat related warnings currently in effect. So what does this mean for the Bay Area? The ridge of high pressure will build slowly NW into the Bay Area, which will turn the temperature dial upward each day. Lingering onshore flow with some patchy night/morning low clouds will keep temperatures in check for coastal areas. The real warm up locally will be away from the coast and moreso in our far interior locations (N Napa and S Monterey/San Benito Counties). Sunday looks to be the warmest day with 850 mb temps reaching 26-28 C Highs Friday through Sunday will be 60/70s at the coast and 80/90s inland. Far interior locations will likely range from 100-104 over the weekend. Overnight lows will remain mild in the hills, but fortunately relief is expected in the valleys. Heat Risk potential remains in the low to moderate category with a few interior spots near high on Sunday.

The ridge of high pressure is forecast to weaken as another upper level trough approaches from the NW on Monday. The trough will usher in some subtle cooling on Monday and a little more cooling on Tuesday. It should be noted that even with the cooling on Monday and Tuesday temperatures will still be in the 80/90s away from the coast.

AVIATION. As of 4:45 PM PDT Thursday . Mainly clear skies will prevail through this evening with low clouds anticipated to return to coastal areas and locally inland tonight. IFR cigs are expected over the Monterey Area terminals as low clouds fill in over the Salinas Valley. The northerly gradient remains strong at over 6MB from ACV to SFO while the onshore gradient from SFO-WMC stands at 3.7 mb. This will likely allow low clouds to push in through the Golden Gate potentially impacting KOAK and KSFO late tonight.

Vicinity of KSFO . VFR. Moderately strong westerly winds will prevail this afternoon and gradually ease overnight. A few low clouds expected to advect into the Bay late tonight, potentially impacting KOAK and KSFO.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . VFR conditions with low clouds on the edge of MRY. Low clouds return between 03z-05z this evening for KMRY and KSNS. Moderate westerly winds will prevail this afternoon and gradually ease becoming light and variable overnight.

MARINE. as of 09:00 PM PDT Thursday . Northerly winds will continue along the Central California Coast into the weekend. Winds will be moderate to locally strong through Friday evening. These winds will generate steep fresh swell resulting in hazardous seas conditions particularly for smaller vessels. Winds will begin to ease Friday night into Saturday as the high weakens but stronger winds may persist over the northern outer waters.

MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. Tngt. SCA . Pt Reyes to Pigeon Pt 0-10 nm until 3 AM SCA . Pigeon Pt to Pt Pinos 0-10 nm until 3 AM SCA . Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Pinos to Pt Piedras Blancas 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Arena to Pigeon Pt 10-60 nm SCA . Pigeon Pt to Pt Piedras Blancas 10-60 nm
