AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
953 PM PST TUE FEB 25 2020 [HEAD]

Synopsis. Unseasonably mild and dry conditions will persist over the region through the remainder of February. A weather system will approach from the northwest this upcoming weekend, bringing cooler temperatures and the potential for light precipitation. ∨

.SYNOPSIS...UNSEASONABLY MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF FEBRUARY. A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND, BRINGING COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION. [DISC]

Discussion. As of 9:40pm PST Tuesday… no significant updates this evening. Thin high clouds are rotating around the upper ridge with temps still hovering near 60 in many locations, unseasonably mild after a very warm February afternoon. 9pm reading of 65 in the City is noteworthy while SFO [San Francisco CA] broke its record high for the day with an afternoon high of 76 breaking the old record of 74 back in 1992. ∨

THIS EVENING. THIN HIGH CLOUDS ARE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE
WITH TEMPS STILL HOVERING NEAR 60 IN MANY LOCATIONS, UNSEASONABLY

THE CITY IS NOTEWORTHY WHILE SFO BROKE ITS RECORD HIGH FOR THE DAY
WITH AN AFTERNOON HIGH OF 76 BREAKING THE OLD RECORD OF 74 BACK
IN 1992. [DISC]

Northerly gradient from Arcata to SFO [San Francisco CA] is still a healthy 5–6 mb along with offshore from Winnemucca [NW Nevada] to San Francisco of around 10 mb all of which should be sufficient to keep any stratus/fog from forming overnight. ∨

NORTHERLY GRADIENT FROM ARCATA TO SFO IS STILL A HEALTHY 5-6 MB
ALONG WITH OFFSHORE FROM WMC TO SFO OF AROUND 10 MB ALL OF WHICH
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP ANY STRATUS/FOG FROM FORMING
OVERNIGHT. [DISC]

Offshore flow will ease slightly the next few days which should keep us out of record territory but days will continue to be mild to warm with mostly sunny skies Wednesday through Friday with highs mainly in the 70s regionwide. ∨

OFFSHORE FLOW WILL EASE SLIGHTLY THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHICH SHOULD
KEEP US OUT OF RECORD TERRITORY BUT DAYS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MILD
TO WARM WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WEDS THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGHS
MAINLY IN THE 70S REGIONWIDE. [DISC]

Saturday will remain dry but much cooler as onshore winds increase ahead of the next front as clouds increase. The models have been pretty consistent in generating upslope precipitation over the Sierra with upper level divergence on Sunday while the parent low looks like it wants to stay offshore. The airmass aloft will be much cooler with 850 mb temps from –2 to –4°C. This should lead to lots of cold air cumulus and scattered rain showers across the region for Sunday. The convective nature suggests not all locations will see precipitation on Sunday though cooler temperatures will be felt regionwide with highs only in the 50s or about 20° of cooling from the midweek warm spell. ∨

SATURDAY WILL REMAIN DRY BUT MUCH COOLER AS ONSHORE WINDS INCREASE
AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT AS CLOUDS INCREASE. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
PRETTY CONSISTENT IN GENERATING UPSLOPE PRECIP OVER THE SIERRA

LIKE IT WANTS TO STAY OFFSHORE. THE AIRMASS ALOFT WILL BE MUCH
COOLER WITH 850 MB TEMPS FROM -2 TO -4 CELSIUS. THIS SHOULD LEAD

WILL BE FELT REGIONWIDE WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S OR ABOUT 20
DEGREES OF COOLING FROM THE MIDWEEK WARM SPELL. [DISC]

High pressure builds in by Monday/Tuesday with a return of dry and mild weather. The long range patterns want to build in a negative PNA [Pacific North American. The PNA pattern features changes in the strength and position of the jet stream and storminess over the eastern North Pacific and North America. The positive phase of the PNA is often associated with weak El Niño episodes.] with some type of troughing over the west as the models hint at perhaps some more rain chances by the first full weekend of March. However, confidence remains low as we transition from a very dry February and hope for some March rains. ∨

Previous discussion… as of 01:58pm PST Tuesday. Offshore flow over the region this afternoon has allowed for temperatures to be 5 to as much as 15° warmer compared to this time yesterday. Meanwhile, light onshore flow near the coast has allowed for some cooling with many locations coastal areas reaching their maximum temperature before noon. With this pattern, look for overnight lows to drop into the 40s tonight under mostly clear sky conditions while 50s will be more common in the region's higher elevations. ∨

.PREV DISCUSSION...AS OF 01:58 PM PST TUESDAY...OFFSHORE FLOW OVER THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON HAS ALLOWED FOR TEMPERATURES TO BE 5 TO AS
MUCH AS 15 DEGREES WARMER COMPARED TO THIS TIME YESTERDAY.
MEANWHILE, LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW NEAR THE COAST HAS ALLOWED FOR SOME
COOLING WITH MANY LOCATIONS COASTAL AREAS REACHING THEIR MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE BEFORE NOON. WITH THIS PATTERN, LOOK FOR OVERNIGHT
LOWS TO DROP INTO THE 40S TONIGHT UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKY
CONDITIONS WHILE 50S WILL BE MORE COMMON IN THE REGION`S HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. [DISC]

A ridge of high pressure and weak offshore flow is likely to persist through much of the remainder of the week. This will keep temperatures well above seasonal averages during both the daytime and overnight. Look for 70s for most locations each afternoon with some isolated interior spots reaching 80°F with widespread 40s for overnight/morning lows. ∨

AND OVERNIGHT. LOOK FOR 70S FOR MOST LOCATIONS EACH AFTERNOON WITH
SOME ISOLATED INTERIOR SPOTS REACHING 80 DEG F WITH WIDESPREAD 40S
FOR OVERNIGHT/MORNING LOWS. [DISC]

The ridge will begin to weaken on Friday as a mid/upper level trough approaches the region from the northwest. While temperatures may cool slightly on Friday, the greatest drop will occur on Saturday when Max temperatures drop by around 10°F for most locations. Chances for precipitation remain in the forecast from late Saturday night into Sunday as the main trough axis drops southward across the region. However, both deterministic and ensemble members have trended drier for the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast as this system moves across the region. Regardless, widespread beneficial rainfall is not anticipated at this time. ∨

Marine. As of 08:22pm PST Tuesday… northwest winds continue to subside but winds gusts will prevail for the outer waters north of Point Reyes [San Francisco CA] through the overnight hours. A longer period northwest swell passes by midweek as winds weaken. Winds and seas will increase later this weekend as the next storm approaches from the Pacific Northwest. ∨
