...New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1251 AM PDT Sun Jun 8 2025

No significant weather issues with dry conditions and temperatures
generally near seasonal averages through the extended period. A
slight cooling trend arrives for the end of next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1251 AM PDT Sun Jun 8 2025

An upper level ridge continues to move into the Pacific Northwest
and British Columbia, while an cutoff low to the west of
California maintains the marine layer at around 1500 feet deep.
Latest satellite imagery shows stratus clouds blanketing the coast
and flowing into the inland valleys, with a cloudy morning
expected for all but the highest elevations and the most interior
valleys in the East Bay and Central Coast. Morning lows hover in
the lower to middle 50s for the lower elevations, up to the lower
60s in the higher elevations. In terms of sensible weather, today
will be remarkably similar to yesterday with clearing skies this
afternoon away from the immediate coast, a robust onshore wind
this afternoon and evening, and seasonably warm highs in the upper
70s to the middle 80s inland, up to the middle 90s in the warmest
spots, and cool coastal highs in the upper 50s to the middle 60s.


&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 1251 AM PDT Sun Jun 8 2025

Over the next few days, the upper level ridge will erode while the
cutoff low dissipates, leading to a slight compression in the marine
layer, but otherwise leaving the weather pattern remarkably stable
through the middle of the week. By Thursday, a trough forming in the
eastern Pacific will move into the West Coast, leading to a slight
cooling trend across the region towards the end of the 7-day
outlook. Inland high temperatures will drop slightly below the
seasonal averages, around the middle 70s to the lower 80s, with
coastal temperatures remaining stable in the upper 50s to middle
60s.
