Cooler pattern
Low clouds will blanket a good portion of the Bay Area Thursday morning. The clouds will clear back to near the shoreline later in the day. Highs should range from the low 60s to the mid 80s. A cooler system will move into the area Friday. Winds will be increasing too. Gusts could approach 40 mph.

Final Coastal Warning: Deadly Sneaker Wave Risk Active Through Wednesday
The brief midweek heat spike peaks tomorrow, but a major upper-level storm system will arrive by Friday to slash temperatures and bring howling, 40-mph wind gusts through the weekend. 1. Final Hours for the Beach Warning (Wednesday Expiration) The Threat: The long-period southerly swell is still actively battering the coast this evening. The Window: The Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect until Wednesday 5 PM. Danger: Deceptive sneaker waves and intense rip currents remain highly active on all Pacific beaches. 2. Tonight's Coastal Visibility Alert The Impact: Because the marine layer is shallower tonight (1,200 feet), the fog will not spread quite as far inland as previous nights. Instead, it will pack tightly against the coastal hills. The Hazard: Expect dense fog and rapid visibility drops along immediate coastal highways and coastal terrain through Wednesday morning with localized drizzle.. 3. Midweek Heat Peak (Wednesday & Thursday) The Trend: Subtle high pressure is compressing the marine layer to around 1,200 feet. Because of this, tomorrow morning's fog will clear out earlier than today. The Numbers: Inland valleys will reach the mid/high 80s which is seasonal!

Summer arrives for Father's day
Father's Day will be pleasant, as a weak ridge of high pressure moves into the region. It will bring sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures away from the coast, though dangerous beach conditions and an upcoming midweek heat spike remain the main long-term concerns. 1. Father's Day Weather • The Forecast: It is looking like a beautiful Father’s Day across the area. A weak, incoming ridge of high pressure is compressing the marine layer, allowing morning clouds to clear out much faster than they did today. • The Temperatures: Inland will climb several degrees higher than yesterday, reaching comfortable highs in the 70s to mid-80s. • The Coast Note: While inland areas bask in the sun, coastal beaches will struggle to see clearing and will remain cool and overcast with only brief clearing. 2. Beach Warning Extended • The Threat: Powerful storms in the Southern Hemisphere are continuing to churn up the Pacific Ocean. • The Warning: A Beach Hazards Statement has been officially extended through Wednesday afternoon for all Pacific coastlines, especially steep beaches in the North Bay, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties. • Danger: Deceptive sneaker waves can surge dozens of feet up dry sand completely unannounced during long lulls in the surf. Combined with severe rip currents, swimming is highly hazardous. Stay off coastal rocks and never turn your back on the ocean.

Summer arrives Sunday, but will it FEEL like it?
Tomorrow will be a near-carbon copy of today. Expect a cloudy morning with patchy coastal drizzle followed by slow clearing to the coast, keeping daytime temperatures below seasonal temperatures. A contrast between the cloudy coast and sunlit inland areas will spin up strong onshore winds. Expect widespread gusts of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. Highs will bank from low-mid 60s at the Coast to 81 inland. A Beach Hazards Statement remains active through early Sunday for sneaker waves and dangerous rip currents. Do NOT turn your back to the ocean and stay out of the water. The cooling upper trough will lose its grip as shortwave high pressure begins compressing the marine layer, starting a subtle warming trend on Father's Day and the first day of summer on Sunday.

The heat eases, but another weather hazard remains
Sneaker Wave Threat: The Beach Hazards Statement has been extended for all SF/Bay Area Pacific coastlines through 5 AM Thursday. Powerful southerly swells are creating random, massive waves that can surge high up the dry sand without warning. Late-Night Flooding: The Coastal Flood Advisory is active until 5:00 AM Wednesday for the SF coast. Keep vehicles away from low-lying coastal parking lots and frontages tonight, as tides will crest up to 2 feet above normal around midnight The weather ridge over the West Coast has peaked and a cooling trend begins tomorrow. 1. Updated High Tide Windows (Heading into Midweek) Astronomical factors and ocean swells are keeping late-night tides dangerously high, though water levels are beginning a very slow step-down from the weekend peak. Tonight (Late Tuesday Night / Wednesday Morning): Water levels will crest at 12:56 AM tonight, spiking a significant 1.7 feet above normal (hitting 7.5 feet) Expect saltwater flooding on low-lying bayshore and coastal roads. Tomorrow Night (Late Wednesday Night / Thursday Morning): The final peak of this cycle arrives at 1:51 AM Thursday, tracking at 1.2 feet above normal (7.1 feet) 2. Fog Schedule Tonight's Fog Timeline: The marine layer is holding steady at 1,100 to 1,500 feet.Expect another widespread blanketing of coastal areas and West San Francisco by Wednesday morning. 3. Temperature & Wind Wednesday (The Cooldown Begins): The upper-level high-pressure system begins breaking down tomorrow. While the coast will stay in the 60s under marine influence, inland locations will drop 2 to 5 degrees cooler than today, but still above average East Bay. Southwest breezy winds 10 - 20 mph. Enjoy your Wednesday!

If it's not raining, why is it flooding?
A unique double-threat of historic summer high tides and deadly sneaker waves will impact local coastlines through the middle of the week. 1. MORE Historic Summer Tides. Nightly localized flooding will continue along low-lying areas of the San Francisco Bayshore and Pacific Coast. Sunday's new moon and lunar perigee, combined with warm ocean water and rising sea levels, are pushing tides up to 2.0 feet above normal .This event is on track to become the highest summer tide ever recorded in the Bay Area. Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until early Wednesday morning for the inner Bayshore. Avoid parking or driving in low-lying coastal areas. 2. Beach Warning: A Beach Hazards Statement is active across all Bay Area Pacific beaches through late Tuesday night. Monday temps will be holding from 65 at the Coast to 90 Inland. The west side of San Francisco (including the Sunset and Richmond districts) and the immediate Pacific coast will remain locked in this foggy, sunless pattern for the next few days.

Summer like pattern over the Bay today
Partly cloudy and mild to mostly sunny and hot today depending on what part of the Bay you will be in. Upper 60s can be expected near the shore while inland areas will soar into the 90s once again. An additional dip in temps. is in the forecast for tomorrow.

Heat Advisory For Saturday's World Cup Match In Santa Clara
The Heat Advisory for our East Bay Inland areas and Santa Clara Valley including San Jose has been extended to 7PM SATURDAY. This includes for the World Cup action in Santa Clara with a high of 88 degrees. A Coastal Advisory is in effect from 7 PM Saturday until 3 AM Tuesday and this is the interesting part... If you live or drive near the San Francisco Bay shoreline, you need to watch out for saltwater flooding on the roads over the next few days, especially during the late night hours. We are seeing a rare combination of a New Moon and the Moon making its closest approach to Earth. This cosmic pull, combined with warmer ocean water and rising sea levels, is creating a massive 'bulge' in the ocean. Tides will spike up to 2 feet higher than normal. While this isn't as severe as the major storms we saw back in January, it is on track to be the highest summer tide ever recorded in the Bay Area. Expect low-lying parking lots, docks and coastal roads to see minor flooding nightly through the middle of next week. A Beach Hazard Statement is in effect for 3 AM SUNDAY to 3 AM Wednesday. Another interesting fact...The waves will be only 4 to 6 feet, but don't let that fool you! These are not necessarily giant breakers, but a long period swell can pack tremendous energy, sending waves farther up the sand and creating dangerous rip currents. (Good story here!) (edited) Now, the forecast! Saturday: Inland Heat Advisory in effect with mid 90s expect. Coastal areas locked into a classic summer pattern with stubborn morning low clouds that clear by midday. Sunday (The Peak Flooding Night): A weak low-pressure system pushes further onshore, giving the natural air conditioning an extra boost. This will be the coolest day of the weekend. 92 in Livermore. However, Sunday night brings the absolute highest tide of this event, peaking at a near-record 1.9 to 2.0 feet above normal right around 11:10 PM.

Cooling begins
Thursday was the hottest day of the week. Heat Advisories are still in effect through Friday evening for the inland areas and the South Bay. A change in the wind flow, from the south, will lead to a cooler Friday forecast. Highs should range from the mid 60s near the coast to the mid 90s inland. The cooling trend will continue this weekend.

Hot Thursday forecast
Our warming trend continues. Heat Advisories have been posted for most of the Bay Area Thursday afternoon and evening. Inland spots will head into triple digit territory for the first time this year. In addition to the heat, dry northerly winds will also boost the fire danger. A Red Flag Warning will be in effect for parts of Lake County, North Bay Hills, and East Bay Hills (begins: 11 pm Wednesday ends: 9 am Thursday). The Beach Hazards Alert remains in place for the coast as energy from a southerly swell continues boost wave heights.

From clouds to heat
A weak system could produce a few sprinkles or spotty drizzle Tuesday morning. The clouds will be clearing later in the day. Highs should range from the low 60s to the mid 80s. Our weather focus will then shift to the heat. We are expecting a big temperature bounce Wednesday. Thursday should be the hottest day of the week. Some inland areas could approach 102 degrees. Dry winds will also be increasing from the north. Fire danger, as a result, will be increasing by midweek.
