Issued at 807 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 A series of haikus for this evening`s forecast update: Satellite image Shows clouds expanding inland Throughout the region. Low clouds now extend To East and Monterey Bays And Sonoma Co. As of this update No changes to the forecast Enjoy your evening. DialH && .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... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 958 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 MVFR-IFR stratus expands from the coast into the Bay Area valleys and the Monterey Bay region. Stratus will mix out across the inland regions through Sunday morning and early afternoon while the coastal areas remain socked in. Breezy onshore winds continue to diminish over the next few hours, becoming light through Sunday morning before resuming in the afternoon. Sunday evening, expect some inland stratus to return although gradual compression of the marine layer might limit the inland extent of the ceilings. Vicinity of SFO... MVFR-IFR stratus through Sunday morning. Stratus dissipates early Sunday afternoon, with the terminal remaining VFR for a brief period before getting socked in again during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Even then, expect the stratus deck to lurk just to the north of the terminal. Breezy and gusty west winds continue to diminish through the next few hours, becoming light through Sunday morning before resuming in the afternoon. SFO Bridge Approach... Similar to SFO. Monterey Bay Terminals... MVFR-IFR through Sunday morning, with the inland regions clearing out by the early afternoon. Low probability (20-30%) that MRY remains socked in through the day, but model output currently shows a brief period of clear skies in the afternoon hours. Stratus returns in the early evening. Light winds continue overnight before breezy onshore flow returns Sunday afternoon. && .MARINE... (Tonight through next Friday) Issued at 807 PM PDT Sat Jul 26 2025 High pressure maintains northerly flow over the coastal waters through the next week. Winds will increase locally on Sunday afternoon north of Point Reyes and south of Point Sur. Moderate seas prevail through the weekend then gradually increase beginning Monday. && .MTR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None.
