Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 409 AM PST Fri Dec 13 2019

SYNOPSIS. Areas of dense fog will prevail across the coast and the coastal valleys this morning, with a disturbance spreading light rain across the region later today and tonight. The threat of light rain will continue into this weekend, as a cold front takes aim at Northern California. Drier and colder conditions will prevail on Sunday, with frost possible Sunday night. An unsettled and wet pattern will likely to return by the middle of next week.

DISCUSSION. As of 03:55 AM PST Friday . Water vapor imagery shows a dirty ridge over Northern California this morning, with plenty of high cloud cover spreading across the North Bay. Thus far, this high cloud cover is not impeding fog development across the North Bay, as all of our North Bay sites are currently reporting visibility at or below a quarter mile. Farther south, coastal areas and the coastal valleys are also dealing with this dense fog, including SFO. This dense fog will make for a nasty morning commute, with delays possible most of our airports. Therefore, a dense fog advisory remains in effect this morning through 8 am for all coastal regions and valleys.

Light rain will also gradually spread across the region today, as the next system takes aim at Northern California. In fact, radar is picking up on some light returns across northern Sonoma already, with a few sites reporting a hundredth here and there. The north half of the Bay Area will likely see the brunt of the rain over the next 24 hours, but amounts will remain light for the most. A cold front will then move across the region late in the day on Saturday. Although this cold front will bring some light rain to the region, the biggest impact will be with the colder and drier air moving in behind the front. Although Sunday will be slightly cooler than Saturday, the main impact will be on the overnight temperatures Sunday night. In fact, frosty conditions will be possible, as temperatures fall into the lower to mid 30s across the inland valleys.

Drier and warmer conditions will gradually develop for the first part of the work week, as high pressure builds over the West Coast. However, models continue to hint that a wet and unsettled pattern will return for the latter part of the work week. At this point in time, there are still some significant model differences in the timing and strength, but believe a more progressive pattern is likely looking to the ensembles. Palmer

AVIATION. as of 04:08 AM PST Friday . LIFR conditions are currently impacting most terminals across the San Francisco Bay Area and Monterey Bay Region with IFR ceilings over interior East Bay terminals. Low clouds and areas of dense fog will persist through about 15Z with improving conditions likely after 18Z. However, low ceilings will likely keep MVFR to IFR conditions through much of the day. A weak frontal system will then drop southward across the region resulting in light rain developing around 21Z over the North Bay, 00Z across the Bay Area and then 03Z for the Monterey Bay Region. Periods of lowering visibility and ceilings will also be possible during times of heavier precipitation. Precipitation should diminish region-wide by 06Z, yet worsening flight conditions are again likely to develop overnight through Saturday morning due to residual moisture and light winds in place.

Vicinity of KSFO . Patchy dense fog over the terminal will result in LIFR conditions through early morning with the potential improving visibilities and ceilings around 15Z and more so by 18Z. MVFR conditions are then likely through much of the remainder of the day with light rain likely to develop after 21Z. Generally light and variable winds are likely through this evening with an increase in west-northwest winds late in the period.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . LIFR conditions impacting regional terminals with patchy dense fog and low ceilings. Light winds also persist and will likely continue through much of the day. Conditions should improve after 18Z to IFR/MVFR with the potential for light rain to develop around 03Z.

MARINE. as of 04:08 AM PST Friday . Southerly winds will persist today ahead of a weak frontal boundary approaching the region. Winds will switch to the northwest tonight and increase on Saturday as a cool upper level trough passes to the north of the area. Large long-period northwest swell will impact the waters through Saturday.
