.SYNOPSIS...

Near to slightly below normal temperatures persist through
the remainder of the week as troughing settles in. Slight warmup
expected towards the beginning of next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 1258 PM PDT Wed Jun 26 2024

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!

.LONG TERM...
(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!

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 423 PM PDT Wed Jun 26 2024

Satellite shows clear skies across the region. VFR through the TAF
period for KSTS, KAPC, KSJC, and KLVK. Low clouds returns to the
coast tonight. With onshore winds tonight, clouds will move in over
the SF Bay and Monterey Bay terminals. This will cause MVFR to IFR
ceilings overnight. Expect near 12Z for SF Bay with Monterey Bay
seeing as early as 03Z return. Onshore breezy winds will diminish
tonight to moderate to light. Winds aloft in the North Bay can bring
some concerns for LLWS tonight. Onshore winds rebuild to breezy and
gusty near the coastal gaps and passes Thursday afternoon.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR through the remainder of today. Onshore strong
and gusty winds will diminish a bit but will remain breezy
overnight. This will allow some low ceilings to push into the
terminal causing MVFR conditions late tonight.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR but IFR ceilings are expect to make a
return early tonight near 03-04Z. Ceilings lift near 17-19Z and
onshore winds rebuild to breezy by Thursday afternoon.
