Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 357am PDT Thu August 14 2025 .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1222am PDT Thu August 14 2025 (Today and tonight) Due to a 500mb trough just offshore, a deep marine layer is bringing extensive stratus coverage to the Bay Area and Central Coast tonight. The Ft. Ord profiler is recording the marine layer depth at over 2,000 feet and airports are reporting ceilings as low as 500 feet. That means the cloud layer depth is around 1,500 feet, which is more than enough to bring drizzle to the usual coastal and terrain enhanced areas this morning. The clouds will eventually clear for most by mid-day, but with strong NW winds, the SF Peninsula and southern Monterey Bay may be stuck in the clouds all day. The Eureka-SFO gradient has reached 2.1 mb as of 07Z, and should continue to strengthen to 5 or 6 mb through the day as surface high pressure builds over northern California. The PGE-WRF ensemble mean peaks at 6.1 mb just after midnight. This N-S gradient, combined with the typical diurnally driven W-E gradient, will bring strong NW winds this evening with gusts reaching up to 25 mph along the coast and in N-S oriented valleys. Long Term Issued at 1222am PDT Thu August 14 2025 (Friday through Wednesday) The high pressure over N. California will persist through the day Friday, maintaining the strong NW winds from Thursday. The high pressure and strong winds above the boundary layer will both compress the marine layer and mix in some dry air. This will lead to less cloud coverage Friday morning. As a result the temperatures will be a few degrees warmer by the afternoon, approaching seasonal normals. It may not feel as warm with the strong winds throughout the day. The N-S gradient will gradually decrease over the weekend allowing the winds to abate and temperatures to return back below normal. Through the work week the overall troughing pattern will remain, although there is some indication that the 4-corners high will start to push west, bringing a slight warming trend through the work-week. Marine (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 356am PDT Thu August 14 2025 Widespread hazardous conditions will persist through Saturday for the inner waters and outer waters due to fresh to strong northwesterly breezes with gale force gusts, especially for the outer waters and coastal jet regions of Point Reyes and Point Sur. The bays will experience hazardous conditions Friday and Saturday due to fresh to strong westerly breezes with near-gale force gusts. Breezes will slowly diminish by late weekend and continue that trend into early next week. Moderate to rough seas will prevail through Saturday for the inner waters and outer waters with widespread moderate seas by Sunday.
