Fxus66 kmtr 182050 afdmtr area forecast discussion national weather service san francisco bay area 150 pm pdt Thu jul 18 2019 Synopsis An inland cooling trend will persist through late week with periods of night and morning low clouds. Temperatures will then warm slightly this weekend before rebounding back to near seasonal normals by next week. Discussion As of 01:49 pm pdt Thursday... The modestly deep marine layer in place mixed out well over inland areas this afternoon with mostly sunny conditions and temperatures in the upper 60s to middle 80s. Meanwhile, stratus coverage persists around the marin county coastline, over western portions of san francisco and locally into the monterey bay region. Low clouds will redevelop along the coast before spreading back into the inland valleys overnight with temperatures cooling into the 50s for most locations. Patchy fog and coastal drizzle will also be possible late tonight into Friday morning. The inland cooling trend will continue into Friday as a surface low pressure system currently over northern california shifts offshore. This will result in southerly surface winds which will potentially maintain low clouds along south and southwest facing locations through a good portion of the day on Friday. Little change is forecast heading into Saturday with temperatures generally below seasonal averages. Building high pressure over the desert southwest will result in a slight warming trend to begin on Sunday, especially for inland areas. However, conditions near the coast will remain cooler as onshore flow persists. The ridge to the east will begin to build westward early next week and allow for temperatures to rebound back to near seasonal averages. However, a deepening trough off of the west coast will prevent the ridge from strengthening too much over our region next week.

Aviation As of 10:32 am pdt Thursday... For 18z tafs. The marine layer remains at around 2000 ft agl per the fort ord profiler with satellite imagery showing stratus eroding inland. Vfr conditions expected for the rest of the day and into this evening.

Generally light to moderate northwest winds will persist through Monday with locally gusty winds over the northern outer waters. Lighter southerly flow can be expected along the coast today and into the start of the weekend.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
