Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 824am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 ...New UPDAT Marine .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1229am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 - Temperatures near to slightly below seasonal averages with a more noticeable cooling trend beginning Tuesday. - Localized elevated fire weather threat continues across the higher elevations. Issued at 824am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 Coastal drizzle was reported at a few sites this morning with the greatest being at Dillon Beach where 0.04" was reported in the past 12 hours. Other locations where we "tipped the bucket" were in the Bay Area around the City of San Francisco, East Bay at Oakland North RAWs, Ano Nuevo Natural Reserve, Coast Dairies (San Mateo and Santa Cruz County coastlines), and Whale Point along the Big Sur coastline. High confidence for inland areas to clear out with afternoon temperatures reaching to around the same as yesterday. No updates are anticipated this morning as the forecast remains largely on track. .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1229am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 (Today and tonight) Satellite imagery shows the stratus layer blooming inland into the Sonoma County valleys, the East Bay, Silicon Valley, the Monterey Bay region, and the Salinas Valley. Profilers from Bodega Bay, Fort Ord, and Point Sur are depicting a marine layer around 1500 ft deep, conducive to extensive inland stratus development through the rest of the night, before the clouds retreat to the immediate coast during the morning. The marine layer should compress somewhat through the day with a weak ridge axis slowly retrograding across the state, but some inland stratus is still expected tonight. Morning lows range in the middle to upper 50s for the lower elevations, to the 60s and lower 70s in the higher elevations. High temperatures reach the 80s into the lower 90s inland, with highs in the upper 90s or near 100 expected at the southern reaches of Monterey and Salinas and places in the far interior Bay Area adjacent to the Central Valley. Elsewhere, the Bayshore should see highs in the 70s and lower 80s, downtown San Francisco should rise to near 66, and the Pacific Coast should see highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Onshore winds will develop in the afternoon and evening with gusts as high as 25 mph through favored gaps and passes and within the Salinas Valley. Localized elevated fire weather threat persists across areas above and inland of the marine layer's influence. The combination of dry daytime humidities of around 20-35%, poor overnight recoveries of 25- 40%, and localized gusts to 25 mph will be the main factors behind the elevated threat. However, the winds will remain onshore, leading to the fire weather threat being diurnally driven, especially in the foothills where lighter winds and good overnight recoveries are expected each night. Long Term Issued at 1229am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 (Monday through Saturday) Expect Monday to feature similar conditions to today. Late on Monday, a shortwave trough, or perhaps a weak cutoff low, develops into the Pacific Northwest, pushing the ridge axis towards the west and north and causing a noticeable cooling trend to begin on Tuesday and lasting for at least the following two days. High temperatures drop into the middle 70s to middle 80s inland and the upper 60s to the middle 70s along the Bayshore, with the coast remaining rather stable at the upper 50s to lower 60s. Towards the end of the forecast period, the forecast becomes a little more uncertain. Ensemble model cluster analysis points to weak ridging (i.e. warmer temperatures) and weak troughing (i.e. cooler temperatures) by Friday, with the differences compounding through the upcoming weekend into the early part of the following week, when a significant ridge and a significant trough are possible across the western United States. With the two scenarios having nearly equal probabilities, there is not enough confidence at this time to deviate from the default NBM forecast, which depicts a gradual warming trend heading into the upcoming weekend. CPC outlooks suggest a slight lean towards temperatures above seasonal averages in the 8-14 day period (July 20-26). Marine (Today through Friday) Issued at 824am PDT Sunday July 13 2025 Localized hazardous marine conditions in the form of strong northerly breezes and very rough seas will be present Monday and Tuesday for the northern outer waters. Aside from that, a gentle to moderate breeze with moderate to rough seas will prevail through Thursday. NOAA San Francisco Bay Area Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...None. PZ...Small Craft Advisory from 3pm Monday to 3am PDT Tuesday for Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 10-60 NM. www.facebook.com/nwsbayarea x.com/nwsbayarea |
