Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries... Light to moderate northwest winds will persist across the coastal waters through mid-week as high pressure sits over the eastern pacific and a surface low moves into western canada. Locally gusty coastal jets are forecast south of point arena, pigeon point, and point sur that will create hazardous seas conditions for smaller vessels. Breezy afternoon and evening winds are also forecast over the san francisco bay around the golden gate and through the delta as well as over the Monterey bay. Mixed seas will continue with shorter period northwest waves at around 8 to 10 seconds, a light longer period west swell, and a light southerly swell.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus66 ksto 202129 afdsto area forecast discussion national weather service sacramento ca 229 pm pdt Tue aug 20 2019 Synopsis Dry weather will be accompanied with increasing temperatures this week. Most of northern california will experience above normal high temperatures. Discussion An upper level trough continues to push into the pacnw this afternoon which will keep our afternoon temperatures slightly below average. Current readings across the region appear to be quite pleasant if you like summer weather with the valley ranging from the mid 70s to the mid 80s while the mountains span the upper 60s to the low 80s. Temperatures will likely climb a few more degrees before onshore flow returns and brings some relief to the region tonight. Come Wednesday, temperatures will begin to warm mid- week as the trough shifts east and high pressure strengthens. High temperatures will be above normal across much of the valley starting Thursday and then continuing into the weekend, with the hottest conditions, being found north of hwy 20. Extended discussion (Saturday through Tuesday) The upcoming weekend will feature a building upper ridge extending from the eastern pacific into the southwestern u.S. |
Recent guidance has continued to waffle about the strength and duration of the mentioned ridge which suggests some uncertainty in the temperature forecast. Fairly confident in above average temperatures for the weekend with valley highs ranging from the upper 90s to around 105 degrees. By the start of next week, there has been a trend in the ensemble guidance to bring an upper trough across the pacific northwest into the north-central states. This would lower heights a bit which ultimately keeps temperatures down a bit, although likely still near to above average. One interesting wrinkle in the forecast is the path of the mid upper reflection of a tropical invest over the tropical eastern pacific. Some semblance of an upper low is seen in the 12z gfs ECMWF lifting this feature across 30n latitude early mid next week. Difficult to say if anything materializes from this system across northern california. Overall, expect temperatures around 5 to 10 degrees above climatology during the period. ~bro Aviation Overall,VFR conditions are expected the next 24 hours; however, there is some question about whether or not some stratus will form over the sacramento and travis areas. Guidance depicts a small chance of it again tomorrow morning, but confidence is low in it actually forming. Wind wise, southwest wind gusts up to 15-20 knots possible across the delta and its vicinity. Otherwise, taf sites will see wind speeds 12 knots or less. Sto watches warnings advisories None. |

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. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
