New AVIATION, MARINE
SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1253 AM PST Sat Nov 9 2024
Active pattern continues with a shift towards cooler temps and increased moisture. Decent rain chances across the region by early next week, and potentially later in the week as well.
UPDATE
Issued at 730 PM PST Sat Nov 9 2024
Relatively quiet weather day around the Bay Area and Central Coast. Mostly sunny skies today with highs reaching the upper 50s to mid 60s along the coast and mid 60s to mid 70s inland, which is close to seasonal averages.
The bigger story for the evening is that KMUX radar has been switched precip mode. The next rainmaker is lurking off the coast.
A few radar echoes are now showing up over the outer coastal waters. These echoes will inch their way toward the coast, but best chance for precip still remain over the coastal waters tonight. That being said, the lowest levels of the boundary layer will continue to moisten allowing for some drizzle over the North Bay and coastal spots tonight into Sunday. As for actual steadier rain...we'll need to watch for a re-enforcing cold front farther upstream. This second front will need a push from an upper level jet pushing through the Gulf of Alaska. As noted below, the second push will occur Sunday night and early Monday with steadier precip.
No update for this evening needed.
Did take a peak at longer range ensemble guidance and CPC 6-10 day and 8-14 day outlooks, which show a wet and active pattern ahead.
SHORT TERM
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 109 PM PST Sat Nov 9 2024
Cloud cover continues to build ahead of the next rain maker arriving in the late weekend. But between now and then, calm weather continues. Expect partly cloudy skies to turn mostly cloudy this afternoon with still relatively dry conditions. Overnight, expect building coastal fog along with pockets of drizzle as the warm sector ahead of the next cold front builds into the area. Sunday will have lingering pockets of drizzle and mostly cloudy conditions with the front arriving from the north that night.
LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 109 PM PST Sat Nov 9 2024
The forecasting team discussed the potential of the cold front slowing as it begins to interact with the California coast, which is common for these systems. As such, some polishing was added to the time of arrival of the initial rains, but otherwise the forecast remains on track. Rain chances arrive Sunday night and spread southward into Monday with the main band of the cold front passing over the SF Bay 10 am to possibly noon on Monday. This line of rain will offer the more moderate rain rates, and breezier winds. The front move southeast through the rest of the afternoon, and only light showers linger into Monday night.
Cold and dry air moves into the area behind the front leading to Tuesday and Wednesday mornings having some concerns for interior lows dipping into the 30s. Otherwise, mostly calm conditions are expected in the mid week.
Models and blends are struggling with the time of arrival of the next rain system, but do agree that the one-two-punch will of a cold front and parent low passing through the Bay Area will lead to prolonged chances for rain. As of the current forecast: the pre- frontal drizzle arrives Wednesday evening, then the front that night, followed by lingering showers through Thursday, and then rain from the low pressure circulating through the region late Thursday and lasting through much of the weekend. While rain chances look strong, rainfall rates and amounts don't look to be of much of concern with overall rain totals below an inch for the rainiest spots over the Wed-Saturday period and much lower the areas farther south.
In the long-long term, the conveyor belt of rain systems looks to continue with models hinting at another cold front arriving just as the previous low pressure exits on the 17th. Model agreement is fairly impressive considering how far out this is in the current run, but much can still change between now and then. Be sure to keep checking in!
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 920 PM PST Sat Nov 9 2024
VFR with building high clouds overnight and through the day on Sunday, with patchy stratus possible at the immediate coast, although current extent of stratus is hard to determine with high clouds associated with a weak cold front dominating the satellite image. Lower confidence in the earlier forecast of widespread stratus at the immediate coast with the weak cold front mixing out the boundary layer. Will need to evaluate how the stratus deck forms as the high clouds move on through the night. Light offshore flow overnight and Sunday morning before the onshore flow returns in the afternoon. Towards the end of the TAF period, a reinforcing cold front begins to impact the North Bay with enhanced southerly winds and scattered showers.
Vicinity of SFO... VFR conditions with high clouds, with a low confidence for IFR-LIFR ceilings in the early morning hours, but otherwise expected to persist into Sunday night. Generally light winds through Sunday, flowing onshore during the afternoon and evening. As the cold front approaches near the end of the TAF period, winds turn breezy and southerly with scattered showers.
SFO Bridge Approach... Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals... Currently VFR. Confidence in stratus impacts overnight is decreasing as a weak cold front mixes out the boundary layer, with the TAFs edited to match. Better chances for IFR-LIFR stratus to return on Sunday evening, although this is still a moderate confidence forecast at best. Light offshore flow overnight turning onshore and breezy Sunday afternoon.
