| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 732am PDT Thu August 13 2026 ...New .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 730am PDT Thu August 13 2026 - Elevated fire weather conditions through Thursday for low relative humidity in the higher terrain - Cooling trend through Friday will bring well below normal temperatures, gradual warming trend through the weekend and into next week Issued at 730am PDT Thu August 13 2026 The high-based convective threat continues to diminish across the Central Coast. However, there still is a non-zero chance. Thus, will remove from Key Messages and will remove the Fire Weather section of the AFD. However, low humidities in the higher terrain will result in an elevated fire weather threat through the day. No other major adjustments needed this morning as the forecast remains on track. RGass .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1225am PDT Thu August 13 2026 (Today and tonight) The upper-level low remains off Point Conception and will continue to bring up to a 15% chance for elevated rain showers/thunderstorms through early Thursday morning across the Central Coast as it moves inland. This will bring near-critical fire weather conditions through Thursday early morning across Monterey and San Benito Counties. Erratic/gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph can be expected with any elevated rain showers/thunderstorms. The main concern is lightning which will pose the risk for new fire starts and has the potential to hinder operations on the Timber Fire. Smoke from the Timber Fire will continue to be transported into the Central Coast via light southwesterly winds. Smoke will get trapped under the inversion at night/in the morning, making the appearance and smell worse. The proximity to the low will allow for a relatively deeper marine layer across the Central Coast (2,000 feet) than the Bay Area (1,800 feet). Sensible weather wise, the cooling and moistening trend will continue through Friday with temperatures well below normal. Long Term Issued at 1225am PDT Thu August 13 2026 (Friday through Wednesday) Friday will see the coolest conditions of the week with well below normal temperatures and a deep marine layer as upper-level troughing persists across the West Coast. By the weekend, upper-level ridging will build in to the Desert Southwest and an upper-level low will develop well off the West Coast. This will lead to cooler conditions with a deeper marine layer in the Bay Area and hotter conditions with a more compressed marine layer for the Central Coast. Temperatures will remain below normal with the higher terrain moderating to near normal with the help of warming 850 mb temperatures. Marine (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 524am PDT Thu August 13 2026 Fresh to strong northwest winds slacken to moderate to fresh today with rough seas becoming moderate by the evening. A long period southerly swell will gradually increase Thursday reaching 16 to 18 seconds (possibly higher at times) by Friday and continuing through the remainder of the weekend. Visibility may decrease due to haze and smoke nearby the Big Sur coastline due to the Timber fire. NOAA San Francisco Bay Area Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...None. PZ...Small Craft Advisory until 3pm PDT this afternoon for Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 10-60 NM. x.com/nwsbayarea |
