Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
an upper level area of low pressure will keep pressure gradients generally light across the southern waters tonight into Monday. As the low moves inland surface pressure gradients will increase over the northern outer waters with increasing northwest winds for the offshore waters from point arena southward towards point reyes resulting in building short period seas. Lighter wind and seas continue across the southern waters through midweek as high pressure rebuilds.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sacramento CA 1216 PM PDT Sun Sep 20 2026
KEY MESSAGES
- Periodically breezy winds and warming temperatures this week, with areas of Moderate HeatRisk in the Valley on Thursday.
- Isolated mountain shower and thunderstorm chances (less than 10%) in the Sierra south of Highway 50 on Monday.
- Potential for unsettled weather and increased onshore winds Friday into the weekend as a system passes to our north.
DISCUSSION
Today-Monday: Scattered high clouds are being observed over portions of Northern California this afternoon as a deepening offshore trough approaches the SoCal coast. As a result, periods of breezy onshore wind will develop today with west to southwest gusts 15 to 25 mph mainly through the Delta. Onshore flow increases on Monday with Delta gusts up to 30 mph and breezy winds up into the Sacramento Valley. Additionally, as this low tracks further onshore, it will bring chances for limited precipitation and isolated thunderstorms (less than 10%) Monday afternoon/evening. Highest potential exists south of US 50. Primary impacts from any thunderstorms that develop will be new fire starts from isolated lightning strikes and gusty outflow winds.
Tuesday-Thursday: As the trough weakens and moves further into the Desert Southwest, Northern California will remain under split flow aloft as heights increase. As a result, onshore flow influence will weaken heading into midweek as temperatures trend warmer. The warmest temperatures of the week are currently expected on Thursday, with areas of Moderate HeatRisk in the Delta and southern Sacramento and northern San Joaquin valleys, however there is still some uncertainty regarding how warm temperatures will be. Relative humidities trend lower during this time as well.
Friday-(next)Sunday: Heading toward the end of week/weekend period, offshore troughing is forecast to dig down from the Gulf of Alaska. This will induce stronger onshore winds through the Delta/Valley and enhanced gap flow through the Coast Range. This system will also bring the potential for unsettled weather in the form of light shower chances over Shasta County mountains on Friday. Temperatures are also forecast to trend cooler Friday into the weekend with Valley highs in the 80s.
AVIATION
VFR conditions expected through 18z Monday. Winds at the TAF sites will be less than 12 kts, but west-southwest gusts to 15-20 kts are possible in the Delta after 23Z Sunday. Gusts then increase up to 25 kts after 06Z Monday.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
