| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 447am PDT Wednesday August 19 2026 .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1201am PDT Wednesday August 19 2026 (Today and tonight) A slightly more shallow marine layer tonight resulted in a somewhat later onset of stratus pushing inland with less extensive coverage than what was seen last night into early Tuesday morning. Another mild overnight into early this morning should result in stratus retreating back to the coast an hour or two sooner than we generally see this time of year. Todays warmup will barely be noticeable for areas below 1000ft away from the coast, with temperatures at higher elevations across the East Bay Hills and Santa Lucias including Big Sur and the Timber fire, running 10 degrees or more above normal. MinRH values will be in the teens this afternoon across those elevated locations, fortunately light winds continue to be a mitigating factor. The weak fetch of offshore flow above the marine layer over the southern Central Coast will shift late tonight with improved RH recovery expected into early Thursday, along with an increase in the marine layer depth. Long Term Issued at 1201am PDT Wednesday August 19 2026 (Thursday through Tuesday) Troughing persists through the extended forecast with gradually cooling setting in on Thursday and continuing through the weekend into next week. The persistent ridging to our east increases to near 600dm by the middle of next week, while continuing steer at least a couple of tropical waves around its perimeter well to our south. The potential tropical system still depicted beyond the official forecast period still appears to offer little impact for our area while we will continue to monitor any mid-level moisture advection. Marine (Today through Monday) Issued at 440am PDT Wednesday August 19 2026 Locally strong northwesterly breezes across the northern outer waters and along the coastal jet regions will bring hazardous conditions for small craft periodically through the weekend. Breezy fresh winds are expected across the San Pablo Bay and the San Francisco Bay with locally stronger gusts possible where terrain promotes wind funneling. Rough seas in the outer waters will abate Thursday with moderate seas prevailing by Friday. NOAA San Francisco Bay Area Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...None.
