.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 257 AM PDT Tue Jun 24 2025

overnights, and warm days on tap. The coastal clouds and fog will
advance inland each night and will mix out there during the morning,
leading to sunny interior skies for the afternoon.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 257 AM PDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Satellite imagery has been mesmerizing tonight as we watch the
stratus slink through the interior valleys of the Bay Area and
Central Coast. Its tendrils have seeped deeply into the North Bay,
penetrated most of the Central Coast, and is infiltrating the the
East and South Bay region. The question for the rest of the morning
is how much further inland will the stratus make it? Confidence is
on the lower end for a full intrusion into Napa County and the
interior East Bay, but there is some signal for that occuring given
we have started to see pockets of stratus form once the high clouds
have moved out of the region. This might occur between 3AM-5AM and
then hold for a few hours before mixing out by mid to late morning.
A typical summer day is then expected, with sunny skies inland,
stratus hugging oceanside coastal communities. The stratus will make
another return tonight and should have similar foot print.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 257 AM PDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Quasi zonal flow is expected midweek, with weak upper level
troughing returning for the weekend. High temperatures will have a
slight warming trend through this period, especially for interior
locations where we go from the upper 80s to low 90s to low to mid
90s by the weekend. Coastal communities will remain cooler,
especially if confined to areas of stratus where highs will vary
from the upper 50s to mid 70s.
