177 FXUS66 KMTR 092146 AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 246 PM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 ...New SYNOPSIS, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 246 PM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Remarkably stable weather pattern this week with temperatures generally near the seasonal average, marine layer clouds each night and morning, and breezy onshore winds each afternoon and evening. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 246 PM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 The picture from space this afternoon is mesmerizing as stratus flows over our waters and hugs the coast. You can also see some stratus lingering in select interior areas such as Marin County, around San Francisco and Oakland, and hugging interior northern Monterey County. There may be some additional give in these areas or along the immediate coast, but that will be short lived. Stratus is expected to surge back inland tonight, similar to what we saw last night. This means we could also see pockets of drizzle where the marine later is thickest tomorrow morning. Otherwise the forecast is more or less on repeat with temperatures being near normal to slightly below normal. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 246 PM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Upper level ridging gets flattened on Wednesday as an upper level shortwave trough quickly passes over southern OR and northern CA. This will leave us with quasi-zonal flow through mid to late week, with an upper level trough moving in for the weekend. The forecast is generally going to be on repeat with cloudy nights and mornings, breezy onshore flow during the afternoon and evenings, and near seasonal temperatures. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1106 AM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Visible satellite shows prolific marine stratus intrusion late this morning. Generally high confidence in VFR clearing times in the TAFs given very stable atmospheric pattern. MVFR/IFR returns this afternoon/evening once again with generally high confidence in timing. Vicinity of SFO...Solid VFR clearing to the south of the terminal and along the approach will continue into this afternoon. Marine stratus returns this evening under a deep marine layer...high confidence. SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO. Monterey Bay Terminals...Many coastal areas will be very slow to clear today, if at all. TAF carrying MVFR/IFR cigs through the period along coastal terminals (KMRY), and high confidence in return into more inland terminals such as KSNS this evening. && .MARINE... (Tonight through next Saturday) Issued at 246 PM PDT Mon Jun 9 2025 Fresh northwest breezes persist across the waters through mid week, becoming strong for the second half of the week. A low, amplitude, long period southwesterly swell persists through Tuesday morning, bringing enhanced currents. Near gale force winds possible over the outer waters by the end of the week. && .BEACHES... Issued at 117 PM PDT Sun Jun 8 2025 A long period southerly swell will enter the waters Monday into Tuesday bringing a higher risk for rip current along beaches. Breaking waves about 5 to 7 feet, but strong currents and sneaker waves will be the bigger hazard. Use caution near the water and never turn your back on the ocean. && .MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None.
