608 FXUS66 KMTR 262113 CCA AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service San Francisco CA 213 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 148 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 - Below to near seasonal normal temperatures through Friday. && .SHORT TERM... Issued at 148 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 (This evening through Sunday) Satellite imagery this afternoon shows mostly clear skies over the Bay Area and Central Coast; however, some pesky stratus remains along the coasts of the Bay Area and southern Monterey County. Expect another cloudy night as stratus returns with the marine layer potentially being around 2000-2500 feet. Patchy fog and coastal drizzle will likely be present again tonight into Sat morning. By mid to late Sat morning, stratus will begin to retreat to the coast. Another seasonably to unseasonably cool day is on tap with temperatures being roughly 5 to 25 degrees cooler in some spots. && .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.
