Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
dangerous conditions remain in place across our coastal waters this weekend. Strong northwest winds have begun to spread south as a cold front moves through. Expect frequent gale force gusts in exposed waters along with rough to very rough seas building in response to the strong winds. On top of the hazardous winds and rough wind waves, two sets of swell haver arrived, from both the south and west. The significant wave height will reach 16 feet in the northern outer waters.

KEY MESSAGES
- Wind Advisory for the Delta and vicinity Valley locations in effect 11 PM tonight until 7 AM Saturday.
- Pattern chance this weekend-early next week: cooler temperatures, chances for precipitation, isolated thunderstorms, and mountain snow.
- Elevated Fire Weather conditions in the northern Sacramento Valley today, then again Sunday-Monday including the adjacent foothills
- Potential for first measurable snow of the season in the Sierra Sunday PM - Monday, south of US 50 and above 7000 feet.
DISCUSSION
...Today-Saturday AM...
Mostly sunny skies with a few high clouds being observed today across NorCal. Today is expected to be the last day of above- normal temperatures before we cool down this weekend.
The upper level pattern changes tonight as a PacNW trough and weak closed low form offshore. The resulting pressure gradient will produce gusty west to southwest winds tonight through Saturday, strongest through the Delta and gaps in the Coast Range, but up into the Sacramento Valley as well. Forecast wind gusts around the Delta are up to 45 mph with sustained winds 20 to 30 mph. As a result a Wind Advisory has been issued for the Delta and immediate vicinity Valley locations and is in effect from 11 PM tonight until 7 AM Saturday morning. Gusts through the rest of the Valley will be closer to 25-35 mph. Strongest winds are expected late tonight-early morning hours. Gap flow winds in the Coast Range and Sierra crest will also experience gusts close to 40-45 mph.
...Saturday (rest of)-Monday...
Gusty winds will continue through most of Saturday and we will see our first day of more fall-like high temperatures across interior NorCal. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 70s, low 80s in the northern San Joaquin Valley.
A cold system dropping down from the PacNW will phase with a weak offshore low, bringing chances for the first measurable snowfall of the season in the Sierra Sunday PM-Monday. Snow levels are expected to remain above 7500 feet through Sunday, before lowering between 7000-7500 feet Sunday night into Monday. Forecast amounts are between 0.5-4 inches above 7000 feet, with 2-4 inches possible at the highest peaks. There is still a decent amount of uncertainty regarding the track of this system and forecast amounts, but confidence is high that we will see measurable snow from this event in the high Sierra.
Additionally this system will bring wetting rain to the Sierra and foothills (but mainly the Sierra), chances for isolated thunderstorms Sunday and Monday, and continued gusty winds.
Recent ensemble runs are continuing to keep the bulk of tropical moisture south of our warning area. Some moisture advection will nose into portions of the Sierra Nevada, mainly on Sunday and Monday. Right now, best chances of seeing 0.50" of rain remains above roughly 3000 feet and south of I-80. With the path of the trough and an eventual low pressure developing/closing off, isolated t-storms will be possible in the higher elevations Sunday and Monday as well. While the NBM keeps probabilities at or below 15%, location of the aforementioned low will provide the lift, cold air/instability aloft to produce t-storms if enough moisture advects.
Winds will be onshore for most of the day on Saturday, before shifting out of the north Sunday-Monday. North winds are forecast to gust 30 to 40 mph, with the strongest winds along and west of the I-5 corridor. While overnight recoveries and daytime humidities will be increasing, the drying north winds will bring Elevated Fire Weather conditions to the northern Sacramento Valley and adjacent foothills.
This system is also expected to bring cold temperatures to the mountains, with overnight temperatures in the low 20s to mid 30s in the Sierra this weekend and into early next week.
...Tuesday-Thursday...
By Tuesday, the aforementioned closed low begins to translate eastward, with continued below-normal temperatures on Tuesday.
Ensembles depict offshore ridging developing by Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting high temperatures will climb back into the low to mid 80s by the middle to late next week.
AVIATION
VFR conditions continue across interior NorCal next 24 hours.
Surfaces winds for WNW at 5-10 kts for KSCK and KMOD, while SW winds at 5-15 kts for the reminder of the forecast terminals.
Breezy conditions with gusts up to 20 mph are expected to developed after 09/20Z in KRDD. Winds will ease across the northern terminals this evening, while become breezy for the airports in the Sacramento Area after 10/05Z with gusts from 20-25 mph possible through Saturday.
STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
Wind Advisory from 11 PM this evening to 7 AM PDT Saturday for C. Solano County including Fairfield-SW Solano County including Vallejo.
