| Area Forecast Discussion ...CORRECTED National Weather Service San Francisco CA 524am PDT Tuesday September 30 2025 .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1251am PDT Tuesday September 30 2025 (Today and Wednesday) The short term forecast is dominated by a pair of cold fronts stemming from a developing low off the coast of the Alaska Panhandle and British Columbia, which is expected to pull in moisture from the remnants of Typhoon Neoguri as it develops in the North Pacific. As of midnight a band of showers associated with a weak cold front was located off the coast of Monterey County, coming onshore in western Santa Cruz and extreme southern San Mateo counties with the band falling apart beyond the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This band is expected to continue diminishing as it travels southward with any rain in the Central Coast limited to the coastal regions. Any accumulations will be light and generally below a tenth of an inch. To the north, scattered post-frontal showers linger through the day across topographically favored locations across the North Bay and into the Bay Area, again with generally light accumulations expected through the evening. A second weak cold front will then approach the region tonight through Wednesday, bringing a new chance for rainfall. Pre-frontal showers will begin tonight across the North Bay before the main rain band comes through the region on Wednesday. Rainfall totals for this system remain rather similar to the previous forecast. The mountains of Sonoma and Marin counties should expect 0.5-1" with this system, with 0.25-0.5" in the North Bay Valleys, 0.1-0.25" in the San Mateo Peninsula, the western part of Santa Cruz County, and the East Bay west of the Berkeley Hills and north of Oakland, and less than 0.1" in the interior East Bay, South Bay, and the Central Coast. High temperatures today remain around 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal averages, with the inland valleys reaching the lower to middle 70s and the coastal regions seeing the lower 60s to the lower 70s. Long Term Issued at 1251am PDT Tuesday September 30 2025 (Thursday through Monday) Upper level troughing remains off the coast through Thursday. By Friday, the trough moves inland with an upper level ridge building in the eastern Pacific, with a possible inside slider developing over the weekend. The ensemble model clusters continue to show significant uncertainty in the location and strength of a potential inside slider. This, in turn, keeps the uncertainty over the potential impacts rather high. A weaker inside slider, or one that develops closer to the northern part of California, may keep onshore flow in place over the region, while a stronger inside slider that develops over Nevada may turn the winds into a northerly/offshore pattern. Wetting rains across the North Bay, and to a lesser extent, the rest of the Bay Area, will likely alleviate fire weather concerns, but not eliminate them. Beyond the weekend, ensemble model clusters continue to hint at some form of troughing persisting over the western United States through the early part of next week. While conditions are expected to remain on the drier side, the troughing will limit the expected warming, perhaps leaving temperatures close to the seasonal averages to start the next work week (middle 70s to lower 80s in the inland valleys, middle 60s to lower 70s along the coast). Marine (Today through Sunday) Issued at 439am PDT Tuesday September 30 2025 A storm force low pressure system located 10 degrees west of the Washington is generating a moderate-rough NW swell that will arrive as 10-12 footers to the outer coastal waters Wednesday. A cold front associated with this storm will also move through Wednesday, bringing a wind shift from S to NW. This system will bring gusty conditions and some rain showers as it moves through. The swell will gradually subside Thursday before a strong NW breeze develops Friday. This will bring another round of rough seas and small craft conditions to the coastal waters through Saturday.
