Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 428 AM PDT Sun Aug 9 2020

SYNOPSIS. Warmer temperatures are expected to continue through the remainder of the weekend, especially inland. Slightly cooler weather returns early next week.

DISCUSSION. As of 3:00 AM PDT Sunday . A weak upper low lies just off the central California coast while upper level highs cover the eastern Pacific and the southern United States. The marine layer has compressed to near 1000 ft this morning and there is less inland penetration of the low clouds. With the lower marine layer areas of fog can be expected along the coast through midmorning. Already getting reports of visibilities below 1 mile at Half Moon Bay and 1/2 mile at Watsonville. Easterly flow aloft around the upper low is bringing high clouds from the Sierras which are remnants of afternoon convection.

Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer today with highs ranging from the upper 60s to low 70s at the coast to the 90s inland. May hit 100 in some of the warmest locations. 500 mb heights will start to fall Monday as an upper level trough over British Columbia drops south and flattens the upper ridge. This will begin a cooling trend that will last into the middle of the week with temperatures returning to near normals by Tuesday and Wednesday.

A couple of things of interest to watch in the long range. The upper high over the south is forecast to shift west to Arizona by next weekend resulting in more significant warming inland. Also will be watching a tropical system off Mexico moving northwest during the week that could possibly bring some mid and high moisture into southern or central California by next weekend as it rotates around the upper high.

AVIATION. As of 04:28 AM PDT Sunday . for 12z TAFs. The marine layer has compressed some compared to yesterday down to about 1200 ft AGL per the Fort Ord Profiler. Satellite imagery shows stratus along the coast, through the Golden Gate Gap, and around the Monterey Bay. Conditions are mixed from VFR in the North/East Bay to VLIFR at KMRY. Patchy IFR/LIFR conditions this morning due to combination of low cigs/vis. Expecting VFR conditions between 15z- 18z depending on location. Low clouds anticipated to return this evening, but not expected to be widespread. Light winds this morning turning onshore this afternoon around 15 kt.

Vicinity of KSFO . VFR prevailing with intermittent IFR conditions this morning as satellite shows stratus attempting to fill into the South SF Bay. Expecting clearing around 15z-16z later this morning. Low clouds will return overnight. NE winds late this morning before switching back to onshore at around 15 to 20 kt.

SFO Bridge Approach . Similar to KSFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals . IFR/LIFR with patchy fog until about 15z-16z before cigs lift. VFR conditions expected by late this morning/early this afternoon before low clouds are forecast to return again this evening.

MARINE. as of 02:01 AM PDT Sunday . Gusty northwest winds will gradually diminish into this morning over the northern outer waters with generally light winds elsewhere. Hazardous seas conditions will persist over the northern outer waters into this evening. Locally breezy winds are expected this afternoon and evening over the northern San Francisco Bay near the Golden Gate and to the Delta. Mixed seas will continue through the period with a short period northwest swell and a longer period southerly swell.

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.
