The National Weather Service in San Francisco has issued a forecast discussion confirming that post-frontal showers are tapering off after sunrise today. Weather throughout the Bay Area is expected to clear up as we head into the weekend. Temperatures, however, are set to dip with Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories effective tonight for certain inland areas, making it essential for North Bay and Central Coast residents to prepare for a notably cold night ahead.
Friday morning’s weather activity along the coast has seen some showers and the possibility of snow accumulation in higher elevations, particularly the Santa Lucia Range, where there was a 50% chance of snowfall, as noted by
NWS San Francisco, CA
. With temperatures forecasted to drop to around 29-32°F in the more interior valleys and 34-37°F in certain other areas, tonight poses risks, especially to vulnerable communities, vegetation, and pets that may not be accustomed to such frosty conditions.
The weekend is shaping up to be cool and pleasant, with another system potentially bringing showers to the North Bay late Sunday into Monday, according to
NWS San Francisco CA
. Despite the brief drying trend predicted for Tuesday with some breezy offshore winds, no fire dangers are raised, considering the recent rains have moderated the fire risk factors. Hence, the region breathes a cautious sigh of relief. Inhabitants look forward to gradually warming temperatures towards the latter half of the next week.
For those hitting the high seas, mariners are being cautioned to expect rough seas and strong northwesterly gales today and tomorrow. Conditions are expected to temporarily improve by Sunday before another frontal system approaches on Monday, swinging back into strong breezes and unsettled seas as per the latest maritime forecasts from the
NWS San Francisco CA
. Meanwhile, the coastline will experience high surf conditions well into Saturday, driven by moderately large swells, with waves reaching up to 18 feet on northwest-facing beaches, warrants our utmost vigilance along the waterfront.
Finally, the NWS warns that the convergence of high surf with the king tides demands extra caution around the Bay’s beaches through Monday, where flooding is likely in susceptible regions during the highest tide cycles. Friday’s anticipated high tide in San Francisco, predicted to crest at 6.95 feet around 10:04 AM, is one such event prescribed for local attention for those residing or recreating in coastal and low-lying areas prone to tidal surges.
