Heights will ever so slightly fall today as a subtle upper-level shortwave trough skirts the region, but temperatures will still remain seasonably warm. High pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean and low pressure over the desert southwest will support a tight surface pressure gradient that will be conducive for northwesterly flow that will be locally strong over the waters, along the coastline, and through northwest/southeast oriented valleys such as the Salinas and Santa Clara. The return of onshore flow has allowed for cooler and moister conditions and subsequently the reformation of the marine layer, Albeit an interesting looking one as offshore/downslope flow in the higher terrain of the North Bay and Santa Cruz Mountains is resulting in compressional warming that's effectively wiping out the marine layer in those spots. Elevated fire weather conditions will be prevalent, primarily across the brush and grasses of the interior, through Thursday as dry and gusty conditions continue. ∨

A low amplitude upper-level shortwave ridge will nudge into the region Wednesday, bringing the warmest conditions of the week with temperatures of 10° above normal. Global ensemble clusters are all in agreement of heights falling through Friday due to an upper-level shortwave trough, which will translate to temperatures returning to seasonal normals by Friday as the brief, gradual cooling trend brings temperatures down by 5° each day. Agreement in global ensemble clusters continues with heights rebuilding Saturday as an upper-level shortwave ridge builds into the west, kicking off another brief, gradual warming trend. Oakland museum (oamc1) and San Francisco downtown (sfoc1) will put their daily minimum temperature records in jeopardy this week. Oakland museum (oamc1): Wednesday (5/21), Saturday (5/24), Sunday (5/25), and Monday (5/26), previous records of 49, 49, 49, and 50° respectively set in 1986, 2011, 1980, and 2008 respectively, the official forecast is 51, 51, 51, and 53° respectively. San Francisco downtown (sfoc1) on Friday (5/23) and Sunday (5/25), previous records of 47° set in 2010 and 1953 respectively, the official forecast is 50°. ∨
