Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 1057am PDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Issued at 852am PDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Radar returns are showing a narrow boundary with light showers extending from Marin and southern Sonoma Counties through the inner waters off the San Mateo Peninsula and into the outer waters off the Central Coast. The weather grids have been updated to convert drizzle to rain through the rest of the day with some increases in the forecast rain totals across the North Bay, although the rainfall accumulations are still expected to be relatively light with only the mountain peaks seeing totals slightly over a tenth of an inch. Otherwise, the forecast remains unchanged. DialH .SHORT TERM... Issued at 151am PDT Thu Oct 9 2025 (Today and tonight) A surface trough extending from NorCal south to offshore of the Central Coast will linger along the coastline today as the first of several upper level shortwave troughs ejects east from the base of the upper closed low to our north. Light rain and/or drizzle is expected to persist across the North Bay most of today into tonight, while coastal locations from the Bay Area south down to the Big Sur will see periods of drizzle through most of the morning into the early afternoon. As the upper low off the Pacific Northwest coast deepens and slowly pushes onshore tonight into tomorrow a cold front will drop temperatures in the North Bay into the mid-40s by early Friday morning, with 50s most other locations, except for higher elevation areas of the Central Coast that will also drop into the 40s. Long Term Issued at 151am PDT Thu Oct 9 2025 (Friday through Wednesday) Light rain chances linger across the North Bay Friday and begin to taper off by early Saturday morning behind a second cold front that won't impact day time highs much, with temperatures rebounding under sunny skies and a drier airmass Saturday afternoon. Upper level shortwave ridging Saturday will result in a pleasant day area wide under mostly sunny skies. Sunday will be similar to Saturday while the upper level pattern shifts to zonal flow across the region. By Monday the next rainmaker starts deepening to our north. Consensus is improving with increasing confidence of multiple rounds of wetting rain area wide from late Monday through Wednesday. Marine (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 852am PDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Light precipitation is expected over the coastal waters, especially south of Point Reyes. Light to locally moderate winds will be shifting through tonight. Light rains build into the waters through friday and exit into that night. Northwesterly winds arrive Saturday and increase to a strong breeze that night, building rough seas by Sunday. Disturbed conditions with periods of rain and gusty winds are expected across the waters early next week. NOAA San Francisco Bay Area Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...None.
