055 FXUS66 KMTR 230523 AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 1023 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 ...New AVIATION, MARINE... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 131 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 Quiet weather on tap for the upcoming week, with the return of coastal clouds and potential for overnight fog. Temperatures gradually return to near seasonal averages, especially for inland areas. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 131 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 A quiet weather pattern prevails over the region this afternoon as an upper level trough remains placed over the Intermountain West. This feature will continue to shift to the north-northeast with a secondary low developing over northern California. However, the main driver of our weather will be the high pressure over the eastern Pacific with a gradual warming trend to more near seasonable norms on Monday. This should bring a deepening marine layer now at around 500 feet in depth to around 1,000 feet by tonight. The question remains, how much coastal stratus develops (none currently within 100-150 miles of the coast via satellite imagery). The HRRR indicates the best chance for stratus to be along the San Francisco Peninsula and the Monterey Bay region late tonight and early Monday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 131 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 Tuesday and beyond, ensemble and cluster analysis indicate a high probability for troughing to quasi-zonal flow across the region. This will allow for a modest marine layer to be in place throughout the week with late night and early morning stratus and/or patchy fog to penetrate inland into the coastal adjacent valleys. Any low clouds that do develop will mix out each afternoon and giving way to mostly sunny sky conditions. Onshore flow also is expected throughout the week with an increase in winds during the afternoon and early evening hours. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1013 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 CIGs are building along the coast affecting HAF, SNS, and MRY. These CIGs look to fall to IFR levels overnight. Moderate to breezy winds last through much of the evening before reducing into the night. Expect mostly light to moderate winds through the late morning and early afternoon on Monday. CIGs at MRY and SNS look to have some moments of clearing overnight from an eddy in the Monterey Bay, but CIGs look to mostly prevail until the mid to late morning before eroding and getting back to VFR. HAF looks to keep CIGs through the TAF period. Expect another round of moderate to breezy winds again for Monday afternoon that will linger into that evening. Monday evening and overnight shows strong potential for a stronger marine stratus push, leading to more TAF sites seeing IFR CIGs for that night. Vicinity of SFO...VFR lasts through Monday evening. Breezy winds last into the early night before gusts cut off and winds become moderate. Expect a few moments of thin clouds to move through the San Bruno Gap overnight, but not enough to fill over the terminal. Breezy winds return Monday afternoon and last into that evening before becoming light as IFR CIGs build. SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO. Monterey Bay Terminals...MVFR and IFR CIGs are filling around the Monterey Bay. CIGs lower to IFR levels into the night. An otter eddy forms in the middle of the Monterey Bay overnight, which could lead to pulling and pushing of CIGs and fairly short periods of scattering/clearing over the terminals. VFR conditions return in the mid to late morning as CIGs erode and winds become more moderate. Winds reduce into Monday evening as IFR CIGs return. && .MARINE... (Tonight through next Saturday) Issued at 1013 PM PDT Sun Jun 22 2025 Hazardous marine conditions for small craft continue across the waters with strong northwest breezes, and rough seas. Conditions will improve on Monday, but northwest breezes remain fresh to strong and seas remain moderate to rough through Thursday. && .MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...Coastal Flood Advisory until midnight PDT tonight for CAZ006-506- 508. PZ...Small Craft Advisory until 3 AM PDT Tuesday for Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 0-10 nm-Pt Arena to Pt Reyes 10-60 NM.
