...New AVIATION...
.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 125 PM PDT Wed Mar 12 2025
An active weather pattern continue today with periods of rain,
strong wind, thunderstorm chances, and some snow to the higher
regional mountains. While the bulk of the impacts arrive today
through Thursday, unsettled weather will continue into early next
week.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 125 PM PDT Wed Mar 12 2025
Things remain generally on track as the main frontal band is
offshore and will move into the North Bay early this afternoon, Bay
Area midday, and Central Coast later this afternoon and evening. It
is along the main band when we can see up to 0.50" per hour rainfall
rates. There are indications of a Narrow Cold-Frontal Rainband
(NCFR) showing up offshore, so that will need to be closely
monitored as it moves inland. This is when we are expected to see
minor urban and small stream flooding and when we are expecting to
see the strongest winds with gusts up to 55 mph, up 70 mph in the
higher terrain and typically windier spots.
In wake of the frontal passage, conditions will become more
convective in nature as the colder air mass sets in across the
region. Scattered showers and the potential for isolated
thunderstorm will persist into the night and early Thursday morning.
When all said and done with this first system, coastal areas will
see 1.00-1.50", with 2.00-4.00" in the Santa Cruz mountains and the
Santa Lucia Range. Inland valleys will see anywhere from 0.5-1.00",
with 1.00-2.00" in the inland mountains and North Bay mountains.
In addition, snow will be likely across the higher elevations as
snow levels drop to between 2,200 to 3,000 feet across the North Bay
and down to about 3,000 feet across the Central Coast overnight. The
highest peaks in the Santa Lucia range can expect up to 12 inches of
snowfall with light accumulations around Mt. Hamilton. Rain/show
showers and/or thunderstorms will taper off across the region by
midday Thursday.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 125 PM PDT Wed Mar 12 2025
Rain will return Thursday night into Friday morning as another
trough axis pushes inland across the region. From this system we are
expecting an additional 0.25-0.50" in most areas with up to 1.25" in
the higher coastal terrain. Saturday continues to look mostly dry,
other than light rain over the North Bay.
Yet another system arrives on Sunday over the North Bay and will
clear the Central Coast by Monday afternoon. Again, providing
similar rainfall as the aforementioned system. There is some
uncertainty beyond the middle of next week, yet the pattern will
likely remain active.

axis still to our west. Showers to continue overnight into
Thursday before easing late Thursday afternoon.
Vicinity of SFO...Winds have turned SW behind frontal passage
