Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 912 PM PST Sun Feb 23 2020

SYNOPSIS. Dry and warmer conditions will return throughout most of the week as high pressure builds over the state. A storm system will approach from the north late next weekend with the possibility of rain.

DISCUSSION. as of 09:13 PM PST Sunday . The onshore pressure gradient is much weaker than 24 hours ago. As a result, winds are lighter this evening and stratus is patchy and confined to coastal locations mainly south of the Golden Gate. A cold trough will sweep through the Intermountain West and Great Basin tonight, with surface high pressure quickly building in its wake. As a result, offshore flow will develop over northern California. An upper ridge of high pressure will build off the coast on Monday and shift to the coast by Tuesday. The net result will be warmer temperatures and dry conditions this week. North to northeast winds will also be breezy in the hills early this week.

Monday's highs will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than today, with around 5 degrees of additional warming on Tuesday as the airmass warms under the upper ridge and offshore flow. The week ahead will shape up to be very warm and pleasant for any outdoor activities with well above normal temperatures. Models continue to advertise a pattern change next weekend with a return to cooler weather and a chance of showers. For addtional details, see the previous discussion.

PREV DISCUSSION. as of 01:31 PM PST Sunday . After a cloudy, cool, and drizzly start to the day skies did clear for most locations around the Bay Area. However, afternoon satellite imagery continues to show a summer like strato-cu field feeding in from the Pacific along the San Mateo Coast and Monterey Bay Region. The morning low clouds and continued onshore flow led to a chilly afternoon despite some sunshine. Latest 24 hour trends as of 1 PM show many places running 2 to 10 degrees colder than 24 hours ago. High temps this afternoon will likely top out in the upper 50s and 60s.

For tonight . expect another night with some low clouds, but not extensive as last night. On a larger scale an upper level shortwave trough will sweep through the Great Basin late tonight and early Monday. In it's wake, surface high pressure will build over Oregon and eventually the Great Basin. This setup will result in offshore flow. Hi-res models like the WRF show NE winds picking up Monday morning and then increasing through the day. The offshore flow will usher in a warming and drying trend through the rest of the work week. Models have backed off on the extent of the warming, but temperatures will still be 5 to 15 degrees above normal Monday through Friday.

By Friday, the upper ridge begins to shift eastward as an upper trough approaches from the west. The upper trough is forecast to deepen with a low tracking down the coast. In fact, the low could potentially bring the first real round of rain to the Bay Area in over a month. GFS/ECM/GEM and ensembles all show some precip Sunday/Sunday. We have seen the models show rain in the extended before and then remove it, but consensus is much better with this scenario. Speaking of ensembles, two GFS members actually have some rain in SF before March 1. Seems unlikely to actually verify and SF will likely be 0 for the month.

The low next weekend appears to be rather progressive and quickly exit to the Desert Southwest by Monday.

AVIATION. as of 8:15 PM PST Sunday . Stratus has stubbornly hung on along the San Mateo coast. However increasing drier northerly flow will prevent a return of stratus to the Bay Area tonight. Stratus has decreased over the MRY Bay Area this evening. Still expecting clouds to reform later tonight in the IFR range with drizzle possible.

Vicinity of KSFO . VFR. West to northwest winds 15-20 kt gusting to 24 kt decreasing after 03Z.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . IFR/MVFR cigs after 08Z. Drizzle at times lowering the cigs into LIFR range. Early clearing is expected Monday morning as northerly flow dries things out.

MARINE. as of 08:47 PM PST Sunday . High pressure building off the northern California coast will bring gusty northwest winds through Monday. Winds will decrease after Monday night as a ridge builds from the high into the Great Basin.

MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. Tngt. SCA . Pigeon Pt to Pt Pinos 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Reyes to Pigeon Pt 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Pinos to Pt Piedras Blancas 0-10 nm SCA . Pt Arena to Pigeon Pt 10-60 nm SCA . Pigeon Pt to Pt Piedras Blancas 10-60 nm
