707 FXUS66 KMTR 262127 AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 227 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 ...New SHORT TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 148 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 - Below to near seasonal normal temperatures through Friday. && .SHORT TERM... Issued at 223 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 (This evening through Sunday) It is deja vu today with the stratus cleared out inland this afternoon, lingering at the coastal regions and flowing into the northern San Francisco Bay, expanding inland stratus this evening and overnight, breezy onshore winds through the evening hours, and temperatures remaining cooler than seasonal averages across the region. High temperatures today range from the lower 70s to lower 80s inland, up to the upper 80s in the warmest spots of southern Monterey County, the middle 60s to lower 70s near the Bays, and the upper 50s to lower 60s at the Pacific coast. Low temperatures hover in the 50s throughout the region, while highs on Sunday will be similar to today`s with a few degrees of warming inland. && .LONG TERM... Issued at 148 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 (Sunday night through next Friday) The forecast will be mostly on repeat this period. The marine layer is expected to compress Sunday into early next week falling to around 1000ft +/- a couple of hundred feet. This will keep the stratus creeping too far inland; however, a deepening marine looks to return mid week. What does that mean, No Sky July continues and we`ll start off August as Fogust. Cloudy nights, stratus retreating to the coast during the day, and near seasonal to below seasonal temperatures. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1028 AM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 Solid marine layer to start the day with widespread IFR to MVFR conditions with a mix of drizzle to light rain at times. However, latest trends from observations, satellite, and cams are showing gradual improvement. Terminals LVK/SJC and southward will be going VFR by 19Z if they haven`t already. SFO/OAK northward will struggle to clear by 20Z with continued onshore flow and solid stratus feed. The near term wrinkle in all of it is the stratus deck over the waters is a mix of open/close cellular strato-cu. Meaning, we`re seeing pockets of rapid clearing given some low level mixing. That being said, confidence is moderate to high (60-80%) that SFO/OAK will see at least a few hours of VFR this afternoon. Fro tonight, more of the same with a marine layer cloud deck returning early and persisting through most of the TAF period. Vicinity of SFO...CIGS have lifted, but still BKN. Will keep previous 2030Z SCT time as it still looks reasonable. Cigs return early this evening and then lower again by Sunday AM. SFO Bridge Approach...Earlier clearing of approach, especially S end of SF Bay. Monterey Bay Terminals...Transitioning to VFR 18-19Z. Cigs return early this evening. && .MARINE... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 931 AM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 Light to moderate northwest winds remain over the coastal waters as high pressure remains over the Eastern Pacific. Moderate seas will prevail through the weekend then gradually increase next week. && .MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None.
