Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 352 AM PST Thu Dec 12 2019

SYNOPSIS. Light rain will linger over the region through the morning before diminishing in coverage later in the day. Rain chances increase again Friday into Saturday with temperatures turning colder Sunday into Monday. An unsettled and wet pattern will likely return by middle of next week.

DISCUSSION. as of 03:14 AM PST Thursday . Zonal flow aloft continues to advect moisture across the region with light rain still being reported from the Santa Cruz Mountains northward across the San Francisco Bay Area. Meanwhile, mainly dry conditions prevail over the Central Coast with widespread cloud cover region-wide. These conditions have allowed for temperatures to hold in the 50s to even lower 60s with not much additional cooling before sunrise. Similar to the past few days, precipitation amounts will remain light and only amount to a few hundredths of an inch or so per hour. The forecast calls for conditions to dry out by this afternoon and into late this evening as slightly drier air briefly settles into the region.

By late Friday into Saturday, moisture advection will again increase over the northern and central California coast ahead of a mid/upper level system that will drop southward over the region. This will bring renewed chances for light to moderate rain first developing over the North Bay early Friday before spreading southward through Friday night. Similar to the last passing system, the best chances for rainfall will be over San Francisco Bay Area with lesser chances for the Central Coast. This will be a result of a likely dissipate frontal system as mid/upper level support will be limited. Rain chances may linger into Saturday as well with the NAM and GFS both showing a secondary system moving across the region while the ECMWF keeps conditions mostly dry on Saturday. Regardless, the ensembles generally agree with unsettled conditions likely persisting into Saturday before drying out late Saturday night into Sunday.

Conditions will dry out and temperatures will turn cooler Sunday into early next week as a colder air mass to the north advects southward. Looking for more widespread 30s and 40s for overnight lows from Saturday night into Monday night. Will need to watch for the potential for areas of frost or even freezing temperatures in the region's coldest interior valleys early next week.

While the operational models continue to differ in the details heading into the middle/late part of next week, the ensembles do indicate a return to unsettled and wet conditions. Initial thinking is there will be a potential for more widespread rainfall across the region during the extended forecast period.

AVIATION. as of 3:50 AM PST Thursday . Unsettled pattern with weak forcing/winds but abundant low level moisture thru the taf period. Main impact will be from LIFR to MVFR cigs (depending on location and time of day). Winds will generally be light (10kt or less). Isolated, very light on and off rain showers throughout the taf period as well but generally too weak to bring extended periods of wet runways. Ceilings generally MVFR-VFR from midday to sunset with MVFR to IFR, locally LIFR-VLIFR overnight.

Vicinity of KSFO . MVFR cigs with bases around 1500-2500 ft today. Light winds under 10 kt. Light passing showers throughout the duration. IFR ceilings (1000 feet or less) possible tonight.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . Other than 8-11kt SE winds at Salinas through the morning, light winds are expected. Ceilings generally borderline MVFR/IFR this morning, improving through the day, but then lowering to borderline LIFR/IFR tonight. A few passing light showers through the duration.

MARINE. as of 03:46 AM PST Thursday . Light southerly winds will prevail through Thursday before switching to west to northwest. Northwest winds will increase on Saturday as a cool upper trough passes to the north of the area. Large long-period northwest swell will impact the waters Thursday night through Saturday. Hazardous conditions for small craft vessels will exist with this arriving northwest swell due to steep large seas.
