Its a beautiful day across the region this afternoon.
Coastal stratus has eroded from the coastline, leaving even the
coast with sunny and clear conditions today. Mid to high level
clouds, remnants of monsoonal moisture, that have traversed the
region in previous days have moved on, leaving us with our typical
summer skies: clear and blue. Troughing settles in today helping to
usher in some cooler temperatures across the region and good onshore
flow. That being said, temperatures will be in the upper 50s and low
60s today and tomorrow, with interior regions seeing high temps in
the low to mid 80s, and regions near bays seeing highs in the mid to
upper 70s. These high temps are anywhere from near normal to around
5 degrees below normal. Overall, pleasant and comfortable for most!
Get out there and enjoy it before or after work if you can!

(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1258 PM PDT Wed Jun 26 2024

These near-normal high temps and overall placid weather
last through the beginning portion of the weekend. Coastal areas may
see the marine layer deepen as troughing continues, and stratus
linger into the late morning. However, towards Sunday, a slight
warmup begins as ridging begins to develop. High temps begin to inch
closer to being just slightly above normal, with highs for interior
regions reaching into the low to mid 90s, 60s still at the coast.
Monday, temperatures warm further with upper 90s for most interior
locations, perhaps a few very isolated pockets of low 100s. Its
still 5+ days out, but the forecast is trending towards a bit of a
warmup for next week. At this point, its still a bit too early to
say how warm things will be for the 4th of July holiday, but this
will be something we`re keeping our eyes on given the potential for
plenty of people to be outdoors attending parades and fireworks
displays. CPC 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks indicate above-normal
temperatures for our region, consistent with a building ridge over
the region. Stay tuned, and enjoy the cooler weather this week while
it lasts!

Thursday afternoon with another round of breezy winds.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR lasts into early Thursday morning. Winds
increase this afternoon with gusts peaking around 33 kts. These
winds last into the night, reducing, but staying breezy for much of
