ISSUED AT 1248 PM PDT MON OCT 27 2025
(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS LINGERING STRATUS ACROSS THE SOUTH BAY.
CURRENT THINKING IS FOR THE CLOUD COVER TO LAST FOR ANOTHER COUPLE
OF HOURS. AFTER THE STRATUS MIXES OUT, THE SKIES SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR
THROUGH THE DAY AND THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, STRAIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
THE WEATHER PATTERN IS IN TRANSITION TODAY, AS ZONAL FLOW (WEST TO
EAST WINDS) ALOFT THIS MORNING GIVES WAY TO A BUILDING RIDGE THAT
WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. TODAY'S
HIGHS REMAIN COOL WITH THE INLAND VALLEYS REACHING TEMPERATURES IN
THE LOWER 70S, WITH AREAS ALONG THE BAYS GOING INTO THE UPPER 60S
AND THE PACIFIC COAST SEEING HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S. AFTER
A COOL MORNING WITH LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S ACROSS MOST
OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, A MARKED WARMING TREND BEGINS ON TUESDAY AS
TEMPERATURES RISE SLIGHTLY (5 TO 10 DEGREES) ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES, WITH THE INLAND VALLEYS SEEING HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO
THE LOWER 80S, THE BAYSIDE REGIONS SEEING HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 70S, AND THE PACIFIC COAST HOVERING AROUND THE MIDDLE TO
UPPER 60S. THE RESULTING THERMAL TROUGH OVER CALIFORNIA WILL COMBINE
WITH A SURFACE HIGH DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TO PRODUCE
MILD OFFSHORE FLOW, WITH LIGHT WINDS FROM THE NORTH AND THE
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THE RELATIVELY LIGHT WIND
SPEEDS WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN CHECK.
LONG TERM
ISSUED AT 1248 PM PDT MON OCT 27 2025
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
THE OFFSHORE FLOW PERSISTS INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING, WITH A PEAK IN
THE TEMPERATURES THAT DAY AS THE INLAND VALLEYS REACH THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 80S. TEMPERATURES REACH THE 10-15 DEGREE ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGE MARK AND MINOR HEATRISK IS POSSIBLE, CORRESPONDING TO A
SLIGHT RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS FOR PEOPLE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO
HEAT. AN INCOMING TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN TIER WILL RESTORE MAINLY
ONSHORE FLOW AND CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DIP ACROSS MUCH THE REGION,
WITH THE INLAND VALLEYS ACROSS THE BAY AREA SEEING HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S AND THE BAY AREA PACIFIC COAST DIPPING TO NEAR
60 WHILE THE INTERIOR CENTRAL COAST CONTINUES TO SEE HIGHS IN THE
80S. ENHANCED CLOUD COVER IS POSSIBLE, BUT ANY RAIN CHANCES REMAIN
FAR TO OUR NORTH ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. TEMPERATURES WILL
QUICKLY REBOUND AND RETURN TO THE 5-10 DEGREE ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGE
BRACKET FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, WITH CPC OUTLOOKS SUGGESTING THAT
TEMPERATURE ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES CONTINUE INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF
NOVEMBER.
