| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 126pm PDT Wednesday Mar 11 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, Long Term .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 124pm PDT Wednesday Mar 11 2026 - Well above normal temperatures through the forecast period - Widespread minor HeatRisk through Saturday, areas of moderate HeatRisk Sunday through Tuesday .SHORT TERM... Issued at 124pm PDT Wednesday Mar 11 2026 (This evening through Thursday) Sunny sky conditions prevail across the Bay Area and Central Coast this afternoon as high pressure from the west builds into the region. Coastal locations are a bit cooler and may not reach their forecast maximum temperatures this afternoon as a shallow marine layer and onshore flow remains in place at the coast. However, inland areas are likely to reach into the low-to-upper 70s with a few warmer inland spots approaching 80 degrees F. Overnight, mostly clear conditions will prevail as temperatures drop into the mid 40s to low 50s. For Thursday afternoon, the warming trend continues across the interior with upper 70s to mid 80s as the high pressure aloft continues to build eastward. Again, there is only moderate confidence for coastal areas to reach their forecast maximum temperatures. This is as onshore flow and a shallow marine layer potentially limits the amount of daytime heating. Additionally, high clouds are forecast to stream inland across the region. Long Term Issued at 124pm PDT Wednesday Mar 11 2026 (Thursday night through next Tuesday) A subtle upper level shortwave through will temporarily put a pause on the warming trend Friday, yet temperatures will remain 5-15 degrees above seasonal averages. This will result in minor HeatRisk across much of the region through Saturday when more interior areas reach the upper 70s to mid 80s. The high pressure will continue to build overhead the Bay Area and Central Coast by Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday are likely to be the days in which we would issue Heat Advisories as HeatRisk rise to moderate levels, especially across the interior. However, we will continue to monitor this heat event as it approaches. From previous forecaster: "Even with the uncertainty, global ensemble clusters illustrate that it is likely that we will be dealing with anomalously high heigheights through Thursday of next week. To put this into context, we will be in record breaking territory Sunday through Tuesday. This is not just with temperatures (read the CLIMATE section below), but monthly records for 850 mb temperatures and 500 mb heigheights which are both good indicators for the type of air mass that we are dealing with. Impacts wise, widespread minor HeatRisk on Saturday will give way to areas of moderate HeatRisk Sunday through Tuesday. To mitigate your risk: reduce time in the sun during the warmest part of the day, stay hydrated with water, stay in a cool place during the heat of the day, move outdoor activities to cooler times of the day, and for those without a/c, use fans to keep air moving and open windows at night." Marine (Today through Monday) Issued at 1051am PDT Wednesday Mar 11 2026 Breezy to gusty north winds continue to affect the outer waters, causing rough seas. Expect these winds to last through the weekend with some of the inner waters being affected over the weekend itself. Winds and seas ease into the next work week. Climate Issued at 1140pm PDT Tuesday Mar 10 2026 The following are the record high temperatures at the long term sites for March 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
