SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1140 PM PST Sat Dec 9 2023

Quiet weather this week with mild days and cool nights. A pattern change takes hold for next weekend into early next week with a likely return to wet and unsettled conditions.

UPDATE
Issued at 852 AM PST Sun Dec 10 2023

Widespread mid-high level clouds cover the Bay Area this morning making for a picturesque sunrise. The high clouds area associated with the leading edge of an upper level shortwave trough approaching from the NW. While it may not have been as cold as yesterday morning (most areas) it was still chilly with lots of 30s showing up across the interior and some coastal areas. Even saw a few isolated upper 20s in the coldest interior locations of the N Bay and S Salinas Valley. Frost Advisory still remains in effect this morning for the N Bay and interior Monterey/San Benito counties.

No update need this morning.

SHORT TERM
(Sunday and Sunday night)
Issued at 1140 PM PST Sat Dec 9 2023

High pressure centered to our south will bring dry conditions, light offshore flow, and pleasant daytime temperatures. After a chilly start this morning look for afternoon highs to reach the lower to mid 60s, with some lower 70s within the warmest inland portions of the Central Coast. Some high level cloudiness will prevail as a weak upper trough approaches from the north late in the forecast period.
Another cool night is anticipated with lows generally in the upper 30s/lower 40s inland with 40s along the coast and around the bays. A few of the typically colder inland spots could dip into the mid 30s for a brief time towards Monday morning.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 1140 PM PST Sat Dec 9 2023

The upper ridge flattens in response to the aforementioned shortwave arriving from the north on Monday. Dry and fairly quiet conditions prevail through late week with low pressure dropping through the Great Basin resulting in periods of generally light offshore flow.
Temperatures will remain seasonal with mild days and chilly overnights.

Deterministic models and their ensembles still advertise an active and unsettled pattern evolving for next weekend into early next week. Some of the model solutions have been rather provocative with a robust basin-spanning Pacific jet and decent subtropical moisture tap in play. That said there's still plenty of details to resolve this far out. It does appear that rain chances will enter the picture by this weekend and/or early next week, but specifics on timing and amounts are elusive at this juncture. Stay tuned for updates.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 923 AM PST Sun Dec 10 2023

Widespread VFR with high clouds periodically moving over the terminals. Models show agreement of KSTS experiencing fog and low visibility near the early morning tomorrow. Winds are relatively light with mostly northerly to northeasterly direction and will continue as such through most of the TAF period. Winds may shift to a N/NW direction tomorrow afternoon but moderate confidence as some models suggest a continued offshore flow.

Vicinity of SFO...Expect to VFR through the TAF period as high clouds move over the terminal. Winds are currently light and variable winds and will transition to gentle NW winds in the afternoon.

SFO Bridge Approach... Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR through the TAF period with light to moderate SE winds. KSNS will continue to experience drainage through the morning until the afternoon where winds will shift to NW.
