National Weather Service San Francisco CA 426am PDT Fri April 26 2024

.SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1226am PDT Fri April 26 2024

An upper trough will progress from the Pacific Northwest through the Great Basin and and Desert Southwest through this evening. The upper feature will escort a weakening cold front through the Bay Area and Central Coast today with drizzle and/or light rain showers accompanying its passage through this afternoon. Overall precipitation amounts will be on the light side and generally under 0.05", although an isolated spot or two along the coastal terrain could receive up to 0.15". Breezy northwest winds will pick up rather quickly this afternoon and evening with lower elevation gusts mostly in the 20-35 mph range. Still looking a bit below Wind Advisory thresholds but it will be strong enough to blow around loose items and perhaps bring a few tree branches down. Temperatures will be seasonally cool with highs mostly in the lower to mid 60s. However with breezy onshore winds the beaches likely won't get out of the upper 50s. Lows tonight will be a bit cooler following the frontal passage with temperatures mostly in the 40-45 degree range except near 50 along the immediate coast and within the urban areas.

Long Term
(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 426am PDT Fri April 26 2024

Forecast philosophy remains unchanged from yesterday afternoon. The previous discussion follows:

The new upper level pattern keeps mostly northwest onshore flow into the weekend. While the immediate coast will continue to struggle with cloud cover, most areas slightly more inland and well into the interior will see quicker clearing times. This will place most areas back into the 60s and 70s into the next work week, while the coast will stick to around 60 degree highs. By the late week, some of those more interior locations look to break into the low 80s.

Longer term models are in better agreement that the next rain maker may just stay well to the north of the Bay Area and Central Coast as the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model families have adjusted the next trough to arrive over Seattle rather than the Bay area.

Marine
(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 426am PDT Fri April 26 2024

Look for strengthening northwest winds today and tonight with gale-force gusts likely along the Big Sur coast. Gusty winds will persist into the weekend and into early next week before easing. A moderate period northwest swell will move through the waters this weekend, with a new longer period northwest swell train arriving by early next week. Look for low clouds along with some light rain or drizzle today in association with a cold frontal passage.
