Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay - Greater farallones - .and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries - .
fresh breezes out of the northwest continue through at least the midweek, then ease to become gentle to moderate, and more southwesterly. Fair weather will prevail, though marine stratus will create overcast skies through much of the week. Significant wave heights will continue to build to 12-15 feet in the northern outer waters by Tuesday. Wave heights then gradually diminish into the late week.

New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM

SYNOPSIS
Issued at 1217 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

Relatively quiet pattern persists through the forecast period with morning marine stratus and clear skies elsewhere. Inland temperatures warm into the 70s and 80s each afternoon with a persistent marine layer keeping coastal highs in the 60s.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 1217 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

A weak upper low continues to slowly traverse into the southwest US while gradually deepening our marine layer. The main result of this will be a slightly greater extent of marine stratus inland.
However, the overall pattern continues to be dominated by a stout longwave ridge over the Eastern Pacific, so afternoons will be clear across the area with stratus lingering along coastal areas.
Afternoon highs in the 70s for most and 60s along the coast.
Farther inland locations such as southern Monterey county eastern Contra Costa county, and northern Napa counties will see highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1217 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

Through midweek, the ridge pattern strengthens slightly as the weak upper low pulls away. Though the ridge influence will be dominant, we remain on the periphery, so there is no strong signal for a pronounced warming trend through the week. Instead, afternoon highs will increase just by a few degrees from midweek into the weekend. Most areas will see the mid-70s with inland locations in the lower 80s. A few of the aforementioned warmest locations have a shot at hitting the 90 degree mark. Lows will generally be in the lower to mid 50s. Coastal clouds are likely during the overnight and AM hours with a gradual clearing towards the coast each afternoon.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1211 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

Stratus will continue to recede through the morning. Towards noon, most terminals are expected to achieve VFR conditions. The one question will be KMRY, but otherwise expecting widespread clearing.
Winds onshore and breezy this afternoon, then easing to become light into the nighttime. Stratus makes an early return for most terminals in the evening, bringing IFR/LIFR CIGs . IFR/LIFR lasts through the late morning of Tuesday for most terminals.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR conditions last through the late afternoon, though stratus is expected to make a return in the early to mid evening. Stratus CIGs are expected to be on the cusp of MVFR/IFR, but are generally expected to decrease to become IFR by the late night tonight. IFR conditions last through the later morning of Tuesday.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...CIGs at this hour have lifted to become MVFR, with satellite continuing to show stratus receding back to the coastline. Briefly this afternoon, enough clearing is expected to be achieved to reach VFR, though confidence on this is only moderate.
Any VFR will be short lived, as stratus is expected to make a strong push in the late afternoon today to come back onshore. LIFR conditions are then expected to last through the morning of Tuesday, with visibilities decreasing significantly through the night as CIGs lower and fog develops.

MARINE
(Tonight through next Saturday)
Issued at 1211 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024

Fresh breezes out of the northwest continue through at least the midweek, then ease to become gentle to moderate, and more southwesterly. Fair weather will prevail, though marine stratus will create overcast skies through much of the week. Significant wave heights will continue to build to 12-15 feet in the northern outer waters by Tuesday. Wave heights then gradually diminish into the late week.
