The Fort Ord profiler [instrument designed to measure horizontal winds directly above its location, and thus measure the vertical wind profile. Profilers operate on the same principles as Doppler radar.] is measuring a relatively deep marine layer around 2,000 feet. This is keeping widespread stratus across the lower elevations of the Bay Area and the Central Coast. High dew points and light winds will likely bring areas of fog across the region later this morning, especially in the North Bay valleys. We are waiting to see the visibility start dropping, but don't be surprised if a Dense Fog Advisory is issued in the next few hours. The skies will clear in the afternoon as the stratus mixes out and marine layer compresses. Temperatures will reach the mid 70s in the warmer inland areas, with upper 50s to low 60s along the coast. ∨

THE FT. ORD PROFILER IS MEASURING A RELATIVELY DEEP MARINE LAYER
AROUND 2,000 FEET. THIS IS KEEPING WIDESPREAD STRATUS ACROSS THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE BAY AREA AND THE CENTRAL COAST. HIGH DEW
POINTS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LIKELY BRING AREAS OF FOG ACROSS THE
REGION LATER THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH BAY VALLEYS. WE
ARE WAITING TO SEE THE VISIBILITY START DROPPING, BUT DON`T BE
SURPRISED IF A DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS ISSUED IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

Zonal flow [Large-scale atmospheric flow in which the east-west component is dominant] will persist from Monday through Tuesday, with quiet weather and warmer than normal temperatures expected. High surface pressure will keep the marine layer compressed to around 500 feet as 850 mb temps rise to around 14°C. This will allow most areas away from the immediate coast to reach 5–10° above normal. Many of the warmer areas will have minor heatrisk. This level is hazardous only to those extremely sensitive to heat such as the elderly and those living outside. Decent cooling at night will allow for some relief if you are able to open a window. A short wave trough will approach the coast early Wednesday, followed by a much deeper trough on Friday. This pattern change will bring cooler, cloudier conditions. There is still a chance for rain late week, but the probability has decreased quite a bit in the latest update. Why the change? The trough still has broad support across the guidance envelope, however the moisture tap looks worse. The GEFS [NCEP Global Ensemble Forecast System] mean probability of IVT [GFS Integrated Water Vapor Transport ]>150 has decreased from 40% to 20% from the 12Z [5am PDT] to 00Z [5pm PDT] run. There's still a 0% chance of IVT [GFS Integrated Water Vapor Transport ] exceeding 250 in both the GEFS [NCEP Global Ensemble Forecast System] and ECMWF [European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model] EPS [Ensemble Prediction System] ensembles. In other words, the chance for light rain Friday–Saturday is decreasing, and there continues to be no real chance for anything more substantial. ∨

Widespread MVFR [Marginal Visual Flight Rules] ceilings are affecting the region with LIFR [Low Instrument Flight Rules]/IFR [Instrument Flight Rules] ceilings affecting the North Bay terminals as well as MRY [Monterey CA] and Livermore. Pockets of fog are also affecting some of the valleys, and look to build around STS [Santa Rosa CA]. Cloud cover begins to erode in the late morning, but remains on the coast, with haf going scattered into the mid afternoon. Winds stay light to moderate through the morning, and increase into the afternoon before reducing again over the evening. IFR [Instrument Flight Rules] ceilings build along the coast and around the Monterey Bay in the evening. Haf, SNS [Salinas CA], and MRY [Monterey CA] will see IFR [Instrument Flight Rules] ceilings turn LIFR [Low Instrument Flight Rules] with pockets of fog into the later night while the North Bay terminals begin to see fog and low ceilings form into early Monday. ∨
