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

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1231 AM PDT Fri May 24 2024

Cool temperatures this weekend with a slight warm up slated for
next week. Quiet, summer-like pattern persists through the period.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1231 AM PDT Fri May 24 2024

High clouds passing through the region this morning and through
today in response to a transient upper level trough. Inland
temperatures drop about 4-8 degrees compared to yesterday's highs
as cooler air makes its way in behind a weak front. Coastal areas
may see a degree or too cooler, but largely unchanged temperature
wise. Main changes to the forecast this morning are the addition
of drizzle to some coastal areas for this morning as the trough
coming through will provide some weak lift within the marine
layer, perhaps even enough for a few hundredths in a few places.
Many locations will see clearing skies today, especially inland,
though many coastal locations may not escape the cloud cover for
most of today thanks to a deep, moist marine layer.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 1231 AM PDT Fri May 24 2024

Cooler temperatures persist through the weekend as the trough
slowly exits with additional and perhaps more widespread drizzle
into Saturday morning. As a broad ridge builds next week, expect
high temps to gradually increase early week with afternoon highs
right around seasonal normals by the middle of the week. Overall
not much impact in the forecast period. Even with the weak trough
passing inland, winds remain onshore supporting good moisture
return. A typical, quiet, summer-time pattern.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 437 PM PDT Thu May 23 2024

VFR except stratus /MVFR/ redeveloping late tonight and Friday
morning from the SF Peninsula and the South Bay to the Monterey
Bay terminals.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR-MVFR, gusty west wind and hazy through early
to mid evening. West wind easing later tonight and Friday morning.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR-MVFR, west to northwest winds through
the period. MVFR stratus returns to the terminals overnight. Winds
will remain breezy out of the west through the TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...
(Tonight through next Wednesday)
Issued at 915 PM PDT Thu May 23 2024

Building surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will
allow for strong northwesterly winds to prevail through tonight,
with gale force gusts across the outer coastal waters. Expect
hazardous conditions and steeper wind waves as a result.
Northwesterly winds diminish and significant wave heights abate
beginning tomorrow as surface high pressure over the Eastern
Pacific Ocean weakens and retrogrades to the west and a troughing
pattern evolves.
