SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 204 AM PDT Wed May 14 2025

Northwest flow and drier air aloft will restore fair weather conditions across the region today, paving the way for a warming trend through this week. High temperatures around seasonal normals today with mostly clear skies. Some cloud cover will likely encroach upon the North Bay later this afternoon as some leftover moisture from decaying convection advects into the northern portion of the state. CAMs also advertising some fair weather CU across the Gabilan Range again, but limited-to-no instability and decreasing moisture will greatly limit any further vertical development.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 204 AM PDT Wed May 14 2025

Despite a quiet mid-week period, a rather active pattern persists into this weekend and early next week. A deep upper low is progged to move out of the Gulf of Alaska region into the Western US by the weekend, closely resembling a pattern that would result in offshore winds across the North Bay and Central Coast. However, current guidance depicts this feature taking a bit more of a western trajectory compared to a typically "inside slider", so we don't see the signal for widespread impactful offshore winds as of this issuance. However, ensemble guidance does advertise high confidence in this pattern resulting in gusty surface conditions across the region, especially Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned for forecast updates and any necessary information regarding the potential for elevated fire danger this weekend.
