.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 1005 PM PDT Sat May 30 2026
(Today and tonight)
Weak ridging stalls offshore for most of today before amplifying
somewhat to our north tonight, setting the stage for a brief jump in
temperatures on Monday. Before that, we will see a notable increase
of around 5 degrees from Saturdays highs. Interior locations in the
North Bay Valleys, South Bay, East Bay Hills and Salinas Valley
south of Soledad have the best chance (60%-100%) of reaching 80
degrees, with the remainder of the interior away from coastal
influences in the 70s, and 60s for coastal areas. Marine layer will
struggle to make much progress beyond the immediate coast into the
beginning of the week.

.LONG TERM...
Issued at 1005 PM PDT Sat May 30 2026
(Monday through Saturday)
Expect another jump around 5-10 degrees on Monday across the
interior with another day of relatively unimpressive amplification
of the ridge and weak, unorganized jet stream flow at H30. Split
upper flow regime through the middle of the week will keep
temperatures similar Tuesday through Thursday. The potential cool
down expected for the end of the week into next weekend continues to
evolve with deterministic guidance now backing off the deeper
troughing advertised the past couple of days. The net result would
be closer to normal temperatures, and more pleasant weather and dry
conditions through the extended forecast.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 929 PM PDT Sat May 30 2026
A mix of clear skies and coastal stratus tonight. HAF, MRY, SNS,
SFO, and OAK are the ones to watch, listed in order of decreasing
probabilities. Moderate onshore winds will decrease overnight
before returning Sunday afternoon.
Vicinity of SFO...The terminal remains VFR, although a patch of
stratus is developing over the Peninsula. The strong onshore winds
are gradually decreasing, but held on longer than I thought they
would. The probability for ceilings Sunday morning is around 40%,
but the window is short enough to capture in a TEMPO group. The
afternoon will almost certainly be clear as the onshore winds
return.
SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals...MRY just developed a ceiling out of
nowhere. I expected that to happen tonight, but not this early.
I'm not sure that this first cloud will survive the night, so I'm
keeping the first few hours of the TAF VFR for now.

.MARINE...
(Tonight through next Friday)
Issued at 929 PM PDT Sat May 30 2026
High end small craft advisories are in effect, with buoys
reporting occasional gusts to gale force. A fresh northerly
breeze will continue through Sunday. Seas will build in response
and become rough leading to hazardous conditions over the coastal
waters through Sunday and into Monday morning.
