.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 1201 AM PDT Mon Jun 8 2026
(Today and tonight)

High level clouds are streaming over the Bay Area and Central Coast 
as a trough continues to impact the West Coast. The latest reports 
from the Bodega Bay profiler suggest a marine layer around 1000-1500 
feet has developed, but owing to the incoming high clouds inhibiting 
radiative cooling, not sure if we will see much of a stratus deck 
tonight. 

Cooler temperatures will persist today as an upper level low 
reinforces the troughing pattern, with high temperatures reaching 
the 70s across the inland valleys, perhaps the lower to middle 80s 
in the warmest spots, the middle 60s to the lower 70s near the SF 
Bay and the Santa Cruz coastal plain, and the middle 50s to lower 
60s along the Pacific coast and southern Monterey Bay. Once again, 
breezy and gusty onshore pattern winds will develop this afternoon 
and evening with wind gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph along the coast, 
through gaps and passes, and at the ridgelines, with favored 
locations in the Salinas Valley and the Altamont Pass seeing gusts 
of 35 to 40 mph. 

This evening into the early morning of Tuesday, some coastal drizzle 
might develop across the northern reaches of Sonoma County as a weak 
cold front makes its way through the state, but elsewhere in the 
region, rain chances have backed off. Rainfall amounts will range 
from a tenth of an inch in favored locations in coastal Sonoma 
County, to a trace across other parts of the coastal Bay Area, to  
nonexistent pretty much everywhere else.

.LONG TERM...
Issued at 1201 AM PDT Mon Jun 8 2026
(Tuesday through Sunday)

Tuesday will see a slight warming trend as the trough begins to make 
its way eastward, as the inland valleys sees highs rising into the 
middle 70s to middle 80s. Afterwards, temperatures will rise 
dramatically on Wednesday with the departing trough allowing a 
strong ridge to develop in the eastern Pacific and spread its 
influence into the West Coast. The current forecast for the inland 
valleys places high temperatures into the middle 80s to middle 90s 
with particularly warm areas in the North and East Bays and interior 
Central Coast reaching the triple digits. There's still some caution 
to be noted with the warmest temperatures. The previous forecaster 
noted that ensemble model runs were showing a wide range of possible 
highs for Wednesday and Thursday. This is still somewhat true, 
particularly on Thursday and especially beyond. Drilling into a 
specific example, the current forecast for the Livermore area 
suggests high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s for Wednesday 
through Friday. NBM model statistics reveal that the spread between 
the 25th and 75th percentile high temperature forecasts for 
Livermore is around 5 degrees, while the spread for the 10th and 
90th percentile highs hovers around 8 to 9 degrees. In other words, 
if you look at the range of possible high temperatures for Thursday, 
when the current high temperature forecast is 99, there's a 50% 
chance that when the Livermore region reports its high temperature 
for Thursday, it falls between 96 and 101 degrees, and there's an 
80% chance that the high falls between 94 and 103 degrees. All of 
this to say, don't be surprised if the forecast highs continue to 
fluctuate as the models come into better agreement. Hot temperatures 
will continue into Friday, but will start to dip as the inland highs 
reach the upper 80s to middle 90s. Beyond that, the spread in the 
forecast becomes even wider still, and ensemble model cluster 
analysis suggests that the conditions will depend critically on if, 
and how, the ridge interacts with potential downstream trough 
development.

The hot temperatures across the middle and later portions of the 
week will contribute to Moderate HeatRisk across the inland regions. 
This corresponds to a moderate risk of heat-related illnesses, 
especially for people sensitive to heat including children, the 
elderly, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions, and 
people who work or live outside without adequate cooling or shelter. 
People spending time outdoors should take frequent breaks in the 
shade and drink plenty of water. In addition, the hot temperatures 
combined with gusty north winds and low humidities will contribute 
to fire weather concerns across the interior North Bay mountains 
late on Wednesday into Thursday. More information will be available 
in the FIRE WEATHER section. Remember, one less spark, one less 
wildfire.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 413 AM PDT Mon Jun 8 2026

VFR prevails for the remainder of today for a majority of our
terminals. KHAF, KMRY and KSNS will have MVFR cigs through mid-
morning today. Gusty onshore flow will spread across our area this
afternoon and persist into the evening hours. Deeper moisture
associated with a disturbance well to our north will result in
widespread MVFR cigs developing around sunset and persisting 
through the remainder of the forecast period.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR will prevail for the remainder of today with
gusty onshore flow increasing by late morning and persisting
through sunset. Moderate to high confidence that MVFR cigs will
develop around sunset and persist for the remainder of the TAF
period.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...MVFR cigs expected to lift by late
morning with gusty onshore flow this afternoon into the evening
hours. Moderate to high confidence that MVFR cigs will return this
evening prior to sunset and persist through the remainder of the
TAF period, with a slight chance of IFR/LIFR late tonight into
early Tuesday morning.

.MARINE...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 413 AM PDT Mon Jun 8 2026

Winds and seas will continue to ease today through late tonight.
Overnight into early Tuesday morning fresh to moderate
northwesterly wind and seas will begin to build again, with
hazardous conditions for small craft developing by mid-morning
across both the outer and inner waters. Gale force wind gusts are
possible by early Wednesday morning over the outer waters.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1201 AM PDT Mon Jun 8 2026

Hot temperatures, gusty north winds, and low humidities across the 
North Bay interior mountains will raise the fire weather threats 
late on Wednesday into Thursday, with a particular emphasis on the 
interior mountains of Napa County. Although the strongest winds will 
remain within the Sacramento Valley, gusts of 25 to 35 mph are 
expected to spread into Napa County, with stronger gusts of 40-50 
mph possible along the Vaca Mountains along the county's eastern 
edge. Meanwhile, daytime humidity retention will be very poor with 
relative humidity values as low as 10-15%, while overnight 
recoveries are likewise poor as RH values top out at 20-30%. Thus, 
fuels are expected to dry rapidly, leading to the elevated fire 
weather concerns. It's a little too early to put out fire weather 
products at this stage, but this will be re-evaluated today and 
Tuesday as the dry conditions approach. Elsewhere across the 
district, conditions remain hot and dry, but we're not expecting 
winds to be as strong as they are across the interior North Bay.
