SYNOPSIS
Issued at 306 AM PDT Thu May 30 2024

Warm and quiet into the weekend. Slight reprieve in the warming trend this weekend before a more pronounced warm up and moderate Heat Risk by the middle of next week.

SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 306 AM PDT Thu May 30 2024

Forecast highs today overall look to be about 3-5 degrees warmer than yesterday for locations away from the coast. Looking at the mid-to-upper 80s inland, upper 70s to lower 80s for the Bay Shoreline, and a spread in the 60s along the coast. Very pleasant day in store today with mostly clear skies and light winds. It's a slim chance with decreasing moisture aloft, but some locations across the Bay Area and North Bay have a small chance to be treated to a fantastic sunset with some high clouds overhead.
Skies clear out once again tonight as stratus returns along the coast.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 306 AM PDT Thu May 30 2024

Much of the same Friday with temps largely unchanged. Slight cooldown into Saturday where we'll shave off 3-5 degrees and bring temps right around seasonal normals for the rest of the weekend.
We may be facing another round of light drizzle across coastal and high elevation locations Saturday morning as a weak trough deepens the marine layer. This also means that we'll see increase overnight and morning cloudiness for areas that typically see marine stratus. This pattern stays largely in place until about Tuesday when we see a robust ridge begin to build over the western half of the US. Medium range ensemble guidance is on board with this pattern with high confidence.

Extreme Forecast Index now highlights the midweek period next week for temps well above average, further strengthening confidence in the need to message early for heat-related issues. Currently thinking the Tuesday- Thursday time frame will be the most impactful with moderate Heat Risk across areas outside the daytime marine influence. In terms of what temperatures will look like, current best forecast is in the realm of 8-15 degrees above seasonal normals, with Wednesday being the warmest. Details remain to be ironed out, but looking at the long range guidance, it seems this may be our first larger scale prolonged hot period across the west.

AVIATION

VFR through much of the

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...IFR conditions have developed around the terminal this morning as a result of a patch of isolated stratus.
VFR conditions are expected to return after sunrise as stratus begins to mix out. Onshore and breezy winds return in the afternoon, later becoming light. In the early morning of Friday, stratus is likely to bring

as low clouds push inland.
