.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 103 AM PST Sun Nov 30 2025
(Today and tonight)

High clouds make life for the meteorologist a little difficult this
morning, as it blocks the low level clouds that are being
observed in the North Bay, East Bay, and San Francisco region. The
question for today, is, you guessed it, much like yesterday and
pertains to if or when will the clouds clear out around there.
Guidance favors perhaps a few hours earlier today, perhaps the
early afternoon hours instead of the mid to late. Given that,
opted to go with slightly higher temperature forecast than
yesterday`s observed temperatures for the N Bay and surrounding
areas. Highs will still be below normal there by about 0 to 10
degrees, while the rest of the region is closer to normal for this
time of year.

.LONG TERM...
Issued at 103 AM PST Sun Nov 30 2025
(Monday through Saturday)

The forecast remains on track for the extended period, with the
first feature being stratus clearing out for the North and East Bays
Monday and Tuesday afternoon. An inside slider remains on tap for
midweek, which will bring breezy conditions to the interior North
Bay hills Wednesday morning. Conditions will dry out as well in
terms of minRH values; however, no major fire weather concerns are
expected. Beyond that, the slider looks to dig south, which should
allow for upper level ridging to build towards us. Dry weather
remains in the forecast with near seasonal to slightly warmer than
normal high temperatures expected for the end of the week.

High pressure off the Oregon coast will maintain gentle to
moderate northerly breezes through early Sunday. Northerly flow
will increase through out the day on Sunday. Winds will be locally
stronger over the outer waters and coastal jets. Wave heights and
swell energy increase early next week.

Hazardous beach conditions will continue into next week with a
very energetic surf zone.

A beach hazards statement remains in effect for the coastline
from Sonoma County to Monterey County through 10 PM PST Sunday
evening. Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly farther
up the beach than normal, including over rocks and jetties. Rip

danger for sneaker waves.
