Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco CA
1053 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

...New AVIATION, MARINE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1250 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025
Cloudiness increases today as a low pressure system approaches 
the region, bringing some initial rain tonight into Wednesday 
morning. A more vigorous system Wednesday night through Thursday 
brings higher chances for flooding and damaging winds. 

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1250 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

Satellite imagery shows mainly clear skies through the region, with 
some patchy stratus across the immediate coast. The day should start 
off clear and dry across the region, with one more day of chilly 
morning temperatures dropping into the lower to mid 30s in the 
interior valleys, with readings in the mid to upper 20s possible in 
southern Monterey County, and lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s 
along the coast. A Freeze Warning is now in effect for the southern 
Salinas Valley and the mountains of interior Monterey and San Benito 
Counties, with a Frost Advisory in place elsewhere across the inland 
North Bay, East Bay, South Bay and Central Coast. Both of these 
products persist through 9 AM today. 

As an offshore low pressure system develops, approaches the coast, 
and drags a shot of subtropical moisture along with it, mid- to high 
level cloud cover will increase through the afternoon and evening 
hours. A first shot of rain will arrive tonight, a pretty 
progressive system focusing most of its moisture to the south of the 
Golden Gate and especially across the Central Coast. Rainfall 
amounts from this first system will be relatively limited, with up 
to an inch of rain possible in favored locations along the Santa 
Cruz and Santa Lucia mountains, while the lowland Central Coast, the 
western San Mateo Peninsula, and the higher elevations of Santa 
Clara County see anywhere between a quarter and half an inch of 
rain, with the rain chances diminishing to the north of the Marin 
coastal ranges. 

Light to breezy onshore winds develop through the afternoon before 
diminishing in the evening hours and turning more southerly late 
tonight as the low pressure system approaches. Today's high 
temperatures range from the mid to upper 50s in the inland valleys, 
to the lower 50s closer to the coast, and into the middle to upper 
40s across the higher elevations.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1250 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

Long term forecast thinking remains unchanged. The previous
discussion follows for reference:

First round of rainfall continues early Wednesday morning for areas 
south of the Bay, and largely clearing out by mid-to-late morning. 
Wednesday afternoon actually has the potential to be mostly dry as 
shortwave ridging moves over the region and essentially cuts off our 
large scale vertical motion. By Wednesday night, a vigorous 
shortwave trough rapidly deepens along with the associated surface 
low approaching the CA/OR border. This more intense lift will aid in 
advecting the moisture into what would be a more coherent 
"atmospheric river" type pattern, whereas the first round of 
rainfall Tuesday/Wednesday is a more localized moisture plume, 
though not completely detached, and a much weaker degree of upper 
level support. So, the Tuesday/Wednesday system currently lacks the 
punch and will serve as a precursor event. Then, there is high 
confidence that the Wednesday/Thursday system will be the more 
impactful given the generous model agreement in robust jet support, 
not only supporting heavy rainfall, but also potentially damaging 
winds. Let's juts say that when my SO told me her flight was 
Thursday morning out of Monterey, I said, "oh...uhh...gonna be 
bumpy!" Given the current location of the moisture axis and 
dynamic features, this system will generally favor areas from 
about San Francisco southward across the Central Coast. Overall 
good news in terms of annual rainfall since southern areas are a 
bit behind the curve so far this water year (since Oct 1). An 
interesting tidbit to include; the Central Coast watershed which 
runs along the coast roughly from Monterey to Arroyo Grande is 
about 4.37" below normal for the water year to date. The current 
forecast for that watershed by the end of the week is about 3-6". 
There is a slight chance (at least 15%) of rainfall rates 
resulting in flash flooding conditions area-wide on Thursday. It 
is likely that there will be more of a focus as the event nears 
and more information about convective rainfall rates becomes clear
from high res guidance. The system does appear to be rather 
progressive and should move through the region relatively quickly,
thus hindering any increase in the probability of flash flooding 
for now. Guidance keeps this vigorous wave open and embedded in 
the flow, so there is relatively low stall potential. As far as 
rainfall totals go, the North Bay will still see respectable 
totals in the 2-4" range, the greater Bay Area will see a range of
1.5-3" (less in the rainshadowed South Bay, more along the 
peninsula), 4-6" and locally up to 8" in the Santa Cruz Mtns, 2-3"
across the Central Coast counties, and 3-6" along the Big Sur 
Coast, locally up to 8". A bit about the winds; guidance is 
showing reasonable agreement in the placement and strength of the 
associated surface low, ultimately bringing it into the CA coast 
near Cape Mendocino and a minimum surface pressure of about 
985-991 mb. This would likely result in Wind Advisory criteria 
being met across a wide swath of the region should guidance begin 
to converge on the lower end of that range. Current best forecast 
is for gusty winds 40-45 mph along the coast and ridgetops of 
coastal ranges. There is also a slight risk for thunderstorms 
Thursday afternoon as the cooler air settles in aloft and 
instability increases. By Thursday night things should be settling
down with some showers lingering into Friday morning. The weather
into the weekend looks to clear out with another, much weaker, 
embedded shortwave trough entering the PNW late Saturday which may
bring more rainfall the the North Bay on Sunday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1031 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025


Higher clouds continue to build into the area ahead of the next rain 
maker. Expect winds to build into the afternoon, becoming more 
moderate. Mid-level clouds build into the night as light showers 
begin to arrive and winds reduce. Expect MVFR cloud cover to affect 
portions of the immediate coast and near the Monterey Bay. Sowers 
will exit into early Wednesday with moderate shifting winds expected 
in some sites along the coast in their wake. Winds become moderate 
and westerly again into Wednesday afternoon.

Vicinity of SFO...Moderate west winds last through the evening 
before light rain and light winds take over for the night. The rain 
arrives with mid-level level cloud cover, meaning SFO will stay VFR.
Rain exits into early Wednesday with northeast winds affecting the 
Bay Area until they turn westerly in the late morning.



SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...West winds arrive in the afternoon as high-
level clouds fill over the area. Scattered lower clouds build around 
the TAF sites into the night as light rain arrives. Winds will be 
light and variable as the rain moves through, but SNS will see an 
increase in southeast winds after the rain exits into early 
Wednesday.



&&

.MARINE...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 1031 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

Breezy to gusty northerly winds will begin to reduce into the
afternoon and ease overnight. Strong southerly winds with gale
force gusts arrive Wednesday afternoon and look to last through
the end of the week. Significant wave heights will build
Wednesday through Friday with very rough seas expected. Rainfall
can be expected Wednesday afternoon through Friday night with a
chance for thunderstorms Thursday.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 1250 AM PST Tue Feb 11 2025

Westerly swell with a period up to 16 seconds will build through 
Friday. As a result, large breaking waves of 20-30 feet are expected 
Thursday night through Friday. While too early to issue any 
products, it is looking like a High Surf Warning will be warranted 
during that time for all Pacific Coast beaches. Please remember to 
stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside infrastructure, keep 
pets on a leash and away from the water, and never turn your back on 
the ocean!
