New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE
SYNOPSIS
Issued at 304 AM PDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Breezy and cool today with only a few passing showers. Southerly winds increase Friday morning ahead of the next storm that will bring rain and scattered thunderstorms to the region Friday into Saturday. Drying trend Sunday as high pressure builds and lasts through the middle of next week with a return to dry and seasonably mild weather.
SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 304 AM PDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Light to locally moderate showers will move through the region today in the wake of last night's cold front and under the influence of the trough building to the north. Expect cloudy and cool conditions between the showers through the day, with showers becoming more isolated into the the evening. Expect a brief pause in rain chances Thursday night, but the next system arrives Friday morning.
LONG TERM
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 304 AM PDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Another quicker-moving cold front and low pressure move into the region along the current trough pattern. While the cold front moves inland, the low looks to remain along the coast line and begin to slowly progress southward. This places light warm-sector showers in the North Bay starting early Friday with the main rain band along the cold front moving inland late Friday morning and into that afternoon. Breezy to gusty winds build ahead the front and linger into that night. Wind Advisories have been issued for the San Francisco Peninsula Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, East Bay Hills, coastal Monterey Bay, the Big Sur Coast and San Benito Co.
Thunderstorm and scattered shower chances move in behind the main rain band. The spread of these post frontal rains still spread across the Bay Area and Central Coast Friday night through Saturday evening, with storm chances peaking around 25% during that time frame. Shower activity begins to dissipate into Saturday night, rain exiting Sunday as the low continues to move south.
Rainfall totals from early Friday through Sunday morning look to range from:
-0.5" to 1" for most areas -1" to 1.25" for coastal low lands and interior North Bay -1.25" to 2" for higher elevations along the coast - and above 2" for the highest peaks along the coast with some isolated areas on the Big Sur Coast reaching above 3"
This system still offers some variability, so be sure to keep checking in.
After Sunday, dry weather returns as a ridge pattern forms over the California Coast.
