Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 933 PM PST Fri Feb 26 2021

SYNOPSIS. Cool nights, mild afternoons, and dry weather conditions will persist through the upcoming weekend. Locally gusty offshore winds are expected from late tonight through Sunday morning, mainly at higher elevations. Much of the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast will likely remain dry through at least the middle of next week before rain chances potentially return late in the week.

DISCUSSION. As of 8:55 PM PST Friday . Gusty northwest winds developed this afternoon, mainly near the ocean, as another in a series of shortwave troughs dropped southeast out of the Pac NW and towards the Great Basin. Northwest wind gusts of between 30 and 40 mph were observed near the ocean this afternoon and early evening. Winds have since begun to subside and will continue to decrease at lower elevations through the night. As the upper trough continues to dig southward into the Great Basin from tonight through Saturday Night, offshore surface pressure gradients will gradually ramp up, resulting in winds veering to the north in the hills tonight and increasing in intensity starting late tonight. Winds are expected to reach their peak on Saturday night and early Sunday. Strongest winds will mostly be confined to the higher peaks tonight and Saturday morning, but will become somewhat more widespread above 1000 feet from tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow night. Breezy conditions ma also develop locally down to near sea level once the nocturnal inversion dissipates tomorrow, especially in areas near the Delta. However, winds are expected to remain below advisory levels, except at isolated higher peaks where gusts of 50 to 60 mph are likely, mainly on Saturday night and early Sunday. Winds are forecast to decrease in all areas by Sunday afternoon.

Dry weather is expected to continue through the weekend. Daytime temperatures will trend a bit warmer by Sunday, but generally remain near seasonal averages, except slightly warmer than average in areas that experience downslope warming during north wind events (e.g., Santa Rosa). Clear skies and dry air will mean chilly nights will continue, especially in the wind sheltered interior valleys.

From Previous Discussion . With the dry, offshore flow over the region daytime temperatures will remain above seasonal averages through the upcoming weekend. Look for upper 50s near the coast to low/mid 60s inland. Overnight lows will drop into the 30s in the interior valleys (especially at times the winds are calm) to 40s elsewhere.

Early next week the forecast models and ensembles indicate a mid/upper level trough will drop southward just off of the Pacific Northwest coast before becoming a cut-off low. The trajectory of this upper level low looks to remain well off of the coast as it drops southward and eventually inland over central or southern California Tuesday/Wednesday. At this time, the National Blend of Models maintains dry weather conditions through at least the first half of next week. If any precipitation were to occur with this system, rainfall would be light in the form of isolated showers.

Confidence in the return of unsettled/wetter weather continues to increase by late next week and into the following weekend as the ensembles indicate a more active pattern developing over the region. From previous discussion: "Longer range forecast - ECMWF Weeklies and GEFS extended are starting to show some promise of more rain heading into the second week of March . The latest CPC 8-14 day outlook is also showing increased likelihood precip." Stay tuned .

AVIATION. as of 9:33 PM PST Friday . For the 06Z TAFs. Winds remain out of the northwest, and are starting to diminish though breezier winds remain closer to the coast. Skies are clear, with the exception of patches of low clouds around the East Bay Hills in the Santa Clara Valley and the Santa Lucia's near the Monterey Bay. TEMPO groups for isolated MVFR conditions were added to select TAFs but are not forecast to prevail through the night. Otherwise VFR through the TAF period. Chances of LLWS remain in the TAFs for the North Bay and KLVK for early tomorrow morning. VFR Saturday with gusty northwest winds again with another chance of LLWS after 06Z Saturday night as winds aloft are forecast to remain strong.

Vicinity of KSFO . VFR. Winds still up to and around 20 kts at this hour, but will diminish after 08Z, but remain breezy through the night. No new data to remove the chance for LLWS after 12Z, but also nothing to add confidence and put it in the TAF so like the previous TAF package, it remains out. As clear skies remain, strong wind gusts are expected once again Saturday afternoon. Chance of LLWS Saturday night as winds subside yet again.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . Strong winds and wind gusts remain for coastal terminals, but continue to subside. A patch of clouds has developed on both the Santa Lucia and Gabilan ranges, so TEMPO groups were added for MVFR conditions for the next few hours. Plus, the chance for patchy fog near KSNS Saturday morning. Otherwise VFR through the period. Winds increase once again Saturday afternoon, subsiding Saturday night.

MARINE. as of 08:38 PM PST Friday . Gale force northwest winds continue over the waters this evening and will through early Saturday morning. Northern coastal waters can expect winds to diminish through Saturday afternoon, while the Big Sur coast south of Point Sur and all outer waters will remain at gale force not subsiding until late Saturday night. These winds will generate steep wind waves through Saturday night and bring hazardous conditions for smaller vessels. A moderate period northwest swell persists through the weekend.
