SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 305 AM PDT SUN JUN 1 2025
KEY MESSAGES
-PATTERN CHANGE AND COOL DOWN TODAY
UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN TODAY
AND ENTER NORTHERN CA WHILE THE CUTOFF LOW TO THE WEST OF BAJA
CALIFORNIA DRIFTS NORTH AND EASTWARD. THESE SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE
TO CUT OFF OUR ACCESS TO HIGH PRESSURE, LEADING TO COOLER WEATHER
SPREADING OVER THE REGION. INTERIOR LOCATIONS FOR THE NORTH BAY
AND CENTRAL COAST WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR,
WHERE HIGHS WILL SPAN THE 80S. ELSEWHERE NEAR NORMAL TO BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AS TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM THE
MID 50S TO LOW 70S, WITH IT BEING WARMER AS YOU GO INLAND.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 AM PDT SUN JUN 1 2025
KEY MESSAGES
-MARINE LAYER RETURNS, MORE SEASONAL WEATHER BY MID TO LATE WEEK
-SMALL WARM UP POSSIBLE BY NEXT WEEKEND
THE TROUGH ENTERING INTO NORTHERN CA ON SUNDAY IS FORECAST TO BECOME
A CUTOFF LOW LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SLIDE DOWN THE CA COAST ON
MONDAY, MAKING IT TO SOUTHERN CA BY TUESDAY. AS IT DOES THIS, THE
CUTOFF LOW FROM BAJA GETS EJECTED INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
COOLER WEATHER REMAINS IN THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME FRAME,
WITH THE MARINE LAYER MAKING A RETURN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW LATE MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY LOOKS. SOME MODELS TRY TO SPIN A RIBBON OF MOISTURE UP
INTO OUR NEXT OF THE WOODS AS THE LOW TRAVERSES SOUTH.
ADDITIONALLYSOME MODELS THROW SOME INSTABILITY INTO THIS MIX,
WHICH SUPPORT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW TO
ADD THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT. THERE'S A BETTER
CHANCE OF SEEING FAIR WEATHER CU DEVELOP OVER OUR AREA RATHER THAN
THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THE
FORECAST TO SEE IF ANY ADDITIONAL CAMS TAP INTO THIS SOLUTION.
COOLER TO NEAR SEASONAL WEATHER IS ON TAP THROUGH AT LEAST
MIDWEEK. WE COULD SEE A SMALL WARM UP BY NEXT WEEKEND.
