Sun for most and really frustrating stratus and Tule fog for a few others. Forecast today remains mostly on track, except temperatures in the North Bay and inland East Bay where I've lowered high temps to account for the lingering fog and stratus. Notable places like Santa Rosa, Napa, and Livermore have barely broken 50 degrees as of 1-2pm. This pattern is likely to persist into tomorrow.

The persistence forecast is a good bet for the next few days as a very high amplitude ridge builds into the Gulf of Alaska and promotes downstream troughing into the continental US. This pattern results in light offshore flow for our region, which will mostly keep temps mild and skies mostly dry. On that note, there is no precipitation in our forecast through the next seven days.
(00z TAFS) Issued at 425 PM PST Thu Nov 27 2025
Currently VFR with potential for fog and stratus to return tonight. Moderate to high confidence in stratus reaching STS, APC, and LVK tonight with some potential for lowered visibilities and ceiling heights throughout the rest of the Bay Area. The marine layer looks to deepen to around 1200 ft tonight which may bring in some stratus coverage along the coastline. Highest confidence that stratus will reach HAF but some may reach MRY early tomorrow morning as well. Winds generally stay light and offshore overnight before becoming light and onshore during the day tomorrow.
Vicinity of SFO, VFR through the rest of the evening. Given the current fog/stratus setup, continued to lean towards a persistence forecast with MVFR-IFR conditions developing at least temporarily tomorrow morning.
SFO Bridge Approach, Similar to SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals, VFR. Some potential for MVFR CIGs at MRY early tomorrow morning as stratus returns along the coast. Confidence is too low to include in TAFs with models keeping the stratus directly along the coastline/away from the airport.
