12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries... A 1033 mb high pressure centered over the eastern pacific and troughing over the west will continue to produce strong and gusty northwest winds through midweek. The strongest winds will occur off of the big sur coast where gale force gusts are likely through this evening. These strong winds will continue to generate steep fresh swell and hazardous seas conditions. Winds will begin to diminish late in the week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 444 PM PDT Tue Jul 7 2020
SYNOPSIS. Seasonably cool temperatures will continue today as an upper trough moves through the region. Temperatures are expected to be similar through midweek before warming late in the week and into next weekend as high pressure builds over the region.
DISCUSSION. as of 01:37 PM PDT Tuesday . Mostly clear skies remain over the region with some low clouds well offshore over the waters. Breezy onshore winds this afternoon along the coast and in the hills with observations showing gusts between 25 and 35 mph. Winds have eased compared to yesterday and this morning since the onshore SFO-SAC gradient has weakened. Winds will continue to diminish tonight as a passing upper level trough exits the region into tomorrow. Temperatures this afternoon are within a few degrees of yesterday with most coastal areas in the 60s to low 70s and 70s to low 80s across the interior. Seasonable afternoon highs still anticipated with 60s/70s along the coast and 80s/90s inland. Some uncertainty exists as to whether more extensive low clouds return to the coast tonight/tomorrow morning. The latest NAM model shows the SFO-ACV gradient remaining around 5-6 mb into tomorrow morning. This may once again limit the amount of stratus.
The upper level trough currently over California will continue to move eastward into tomorrow while zonal flow develops aloft. This will result in a slight increase in temperatures tomorrow, though conditions will remain fairly seasonable. More noticeable warming is expected late this week and into the weekend as high pressure continues to build over the Desert Southwest and expand into California. A wide spread of highs is forecast late this week and through the weekend where the coast will continue to see temperatures in the 60s and 70s while the far portions of the interior will reach the mid to upper 90s. Enough cooling is expected in the overnight hours to limit heat risk to low for most locations with only some patches of moderate heat risk far inland. Latest deterministic models show high pressure situated over the Desert Southwest through much of next week.
AVIATION. As of 4:42 PM PDT Tuesday . for 00Z TAFs. Clear skies over the regional terminals, while visible satellite shows stratus over the ocean making a southerly trend down the coastline. Winds are breezy and onshore, with a few stronger gusts at coastal terminals. Difficult forecast tonight dependent upon the movement of the stratus and the onshore inundation of moisture toward land that is locked in with dry air. Changes for low clouds for coastal terminals, but there is low confidence given the strength the dry air (lack of low clouds) last night/this past morning. Winds will scale back overnight before another afternoon breezy conditions.
Vicinity of KSFO . VFR. Winds are out of the west between 21-24 kt, gust up to 30 knots is still possible until approximately 4z. Winds will subside overnight potential for FEW/SCT low clouds to develop early Wednesday morning, low confidence in any fuller build up of clouds. VFR expected again on Wednesday afternoon with strong onshore winds.
SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals . Skies are clear with breezy onshore winds and occasional stronger gusts. As winds subside this evening, low clouds are forecast to develop with MVFR likely, and IFR conditions possible with the potential for lowering visibility as well. Clouds are expected to lift around 17z Wednesday as winds remain onshore and become breezy in the afternoon.
MARINE. as of 04:34 PM PDT Tuesday . A 1033 mb high pressure centered over the eastern Pacific and troughing over the West will continue to produce strong and gusty northwest winds through midweek. The strongest winds will occur off of the Big Sur coast where gale force gusts are likely through this evening. These strong winds will continue to generate steep fresh swell and hazardous seas conditions. Winds will begin to diminish late in the week.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
