Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 200 PM PDT Sat Mar 28 2020

SYNOPSIS. Scattered showers this afternoon and evening for the Bay Area. A cold front will pass through the area Sunday morning with another round of rainfall lasting through early Sunday afternoon. The low moves east and dry conditions return Sunday night into Monday morning. A weak weather system may bring some light rain to northern Sonoma county Monday otherwise dry high pressure will start to build. The long range forecst calls for dry weather next week with a gradual warming trend back into the upper 60s and 70s.

DISCUSSION. as of 2:00 PM PDT Saturday . Some scattered light rain showers continue across the region this afternoon as daytime heating interacts with abundant moisture and marginal instability. Look for scattered showers through this evening. More weak showers are offshore and will move onshore this evening as well. Satellite shows core of weak upper low out near 39n/129w. As this feature and surface low move onshore Sunday morning there will be an organized band of rain moving through the Bay Area. Rain amounts still look light overall but some brief heavy downpours will accompany the frontal passage Sunday morning through midday or so before precip turns showery once again. Rain totals on average of 0.10-0.25 for valleys with 0.25-0.50 coast and hills (little or no rain interior Monterey/San Benito).

Dry Sunday night but with lingering clouds and enough boundary layer moisture for valley fog to form.

NAM model is insisting that some more light warm advection rains will occur across northern Sonoma Monday afternoon with any precip very light (tenth or less) while the rest of the region dries out.

High pressure builds behind that front Tuesday through next weekend with a noted warming and drying trend and even some possible dry north winds Weds night. Afternoon highs should warm nicely back into the upper 60s to upper 70s away from the coast. Above average confidence for dry conditions through the first weekend in April but some hints that some storms may try and undercut the ridge by around April 6-10th.

AVIATION. as of 10:31 AM PDT Saturday . For 18z tafs. Radar is still picking up scattered showers across the region. Expect periods of showers to continue on and off throughout the day before another round of more steady precipitation arrives with a secondary boundary tomorrow morning. Borderline MVFR/VFR cigs expected today with current observations showing layers of SCT to BKN cigs between 2,000 and 7,000 ft AGL. S/SE winds expected this morning to remain generally under 10 kt, through short durations at or just above 10 kt will be possible. Latest guidance this morning has backed off on winds shifting to the SW/W this afternoon for some sites. S/SE winds may persist through tomorrow morning for those locations.

Vicinity of KSFO . Light scattered showers on and off throughout the day with borderline MVFR/VFR cigs. Current obs show BKN cigs between 3,500 and 5,000 ft. Periods of MVFR cigs will be possible today, though confidence is low on exact timing and duration. S/SE winds to persist today with winds now expected to increase to 10 kt this afternoon. Latest guidance has backed off on a transition to SW/W winds later today, but should conditions change the taf will be amended. Additional round of more steady showers expected tomorrow morning as a secondary boundary moves through.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . VFR with periods of MVFR conditions and showers this afternoon. MVFR conditions expected this evening and overnight. Additional round of steady showers tomorrow morning. S/SE winds 5-10 kt this morning becoming W/SW in the afternoon. SE winds to return this evening and become locally breezy down the Salinas Valley in the morning.

MARINE. as of 01:39 PM PDT Saturday . High pressure will shift into the southern California waters as a low pressure system moves into waters off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. This will keep winds generally light through the weekend and into early next week. Mixed swell will persist with a moderate northwest swell and a light southwesterly swell.

MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. Tngt. None.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
