Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 918 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025

New AVIATION

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1207 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025

Mostly clear skies and cold mornings will persist through early next week. The colder inland areas will drop below freezing each night.
An atmospheric river will bring significant rain from Wednesday- Thursday.

UPDATE
Issued at 857 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025

This morning's frost and freeze products are allowed to expire at 9AM. No other changes to the forecast were made at this time.

SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1207 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025

The GOES West night fog product shows mostly clear skies across the Bay Area, with some patches of stratus over the Central Coast. The clear skies are allowing enhanced radiational cooling, and several inland areas are already in the 30s. As the temperature drops to the dew point, the rate of cooling will likely slow through the morning, although the air mass is also on a drying trend, so this moderating effect won't be as pronounced as normal. Overall the observed temperature is matching the hourly forecast well and the frost/freeze products remain unchanged.
After the sun comes up, the clear skies will allow temperature will begin to climb, but we'll only reach the mid-50s this afternoon for most populated areas. Higher terrain won't get out of the 40s.

LONG TERM
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1207 AM PST Sat Feb 8 2025

Why is it getting so cold? After all the deep air mass isn't that cold. The 850 mb temperature is only in the 10-25th percentile this weekend. This cooling is driven more by dry air supporting enhanced radiational cooling. As the surface dew points drop into the 20s-30s under clear skies, there is nothing to slow down nocturnal cooling. Lower level winds will shift to light offshore Sunday, causing the air mass to dry further. The PWAT looks very likely to drop below 0.2", which is in the bottom 2% for February. This very dry air mass will continue to support clear skies and very cold mornings through early next week. Sunday and Monday look to be the coldest. Our official forecast brings downtown San Francisco to 39 Monday morning. That mark is roughly 10 degrees below normal, and has only been reached 3 times in the last decade (2/23/23, 2/24/23, 3/1/23). Meanwhile San Jose has a 60% chance of dropping below freezing for the first time since 2017.

Everything changes on Wednesday. The winds will shift from northerly to southerly as low pressure system moves over the Pacific Northwest. An associated warm front and cold front will both push through California, bringing a prolonged period of moderate to occasionally heavy rain that will linger into Friday.
The heaviest period currently looks to be from late Wednesday through late Thursday, when 1-3" of rain is expected in the lowlands with more in the coastal mountains. This will likely cause some flooding issues for urban environments and smaller streams. The USGS has also informed us that soil moisture sensors are indicating shallow landslides are likely if the rain rates get high enough. This system will also bring some wind, though with the actual low pressure center much further north than the most recent storm, the pressure gradient and wind potential are somewhat lower. Things currently look to dry out Friday before a dry weekend, but that's not a guarantee as the uncertainty remains high.
