...New SHORT TERM, Long Term

.KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1234pm PDT Wednesday July 22 2026

- Breezy onshore winds return late this week and into the weekend

- Temperatures near seasonal averages throughout early next week

.SHORT TERM... Issued at 1234pm PDT Wednesday July 22 2026 (This evening through Thursday night)

The marine layer redeveloped overnight to around 1,800 feet in depth and resulted in inland expansion of coastal stratus. Southwest winds also resulted in favored locations in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Marin Coastal Range (Mount Tamalpais) to see drizzle and light rain at times with up to 0.16" of precipitation. With southwesterly winds forecast to persist through early this afternoon, places such as the North Bay and Monterey Bay region may only see stratus scatter out for a few hours this afternoon. As dewpoint temperatures remain in the upper 50s to lower 60s, it will remain muggy feeling throughout much of the day with higher humidity regionwide. Temperatures regionwide have fallen to slightly below average while the North Bay region is expected to be as much as 15 degrees below average.

As winds shift more out of the northwest late this evening and into the overnight across the coastal waters, expecting inland expansion of the stratus once again with a return to a more typical summertime pattern. There is again the potential for mist/drizzle again tonight, yet will be less widespread. Low clouds that do develop inland are forecast to retreat to the coast by mid-to-late morning and especially so by Thursday afternoon.

Maximum afternoon temperatures on Thursday are forecast to range in the upper 50s to lower 70s near the coast, in the 70s bayside, and 80s to lower 90s in the interior. The southern portion of the Central Coast has the greatest potential to exceed 100 deg F in places such as Lockwood, Bradley and Parkfield.

Long Term
Issued at 1234pm PDT Wednesday July 22 2026 (Friday through next Tuesday)

The ridge currently over the Southern Plains is forecast to shift westward towards the Four Corners region over the weekend. This will work to compress our marine layer and allow for a slight warming trend across the interior. However, temperatures will remain within a few degrees of seasonal averages into early next week. As such, expecting typical ebb and flow of stratus returning into the valleys overnight and retreating to the coast by mid-to-late morning.

Marine
(Today through Monday) Issued at 1039am PDT Wednesday July 22 2026

A moderate southerly wind will gradually shift to NW through Wednesday afternoon. Winds will increase to a fresh NW breeze Thursday-Friday, with similar conditions continuing into next week. Significant wave heigheights will remain moderate this week before long period southerly swell from Hurricane Fausto reaches the coastal waters this weekend.
