As the Bay Area residents brace themselves for dropping temperatures, the National Weather Service in San Francisco, CA, has issued a Frost Advisory for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 2 AM to 9 AM. This advisory covers various regions, including the North Bay interior, the southern Salinas Valley, the Santa Lucia Mountains, and mountainous areas in San Benito and Monterey Counties. The anticipated temperatures are expected to range between 32 and 36 degrees, posing risks of hypothermia, especially for vulnerable populations. Officials are urging community members to take precautions to protect themselves, their pets, plants, and pipes from the cold weather.
Contrary to initial forecasts, recent reports suggest that parts of the interior Central Coast might avoid experiencing frost conditions. The current data indicates that temperatures are relatively higher than expected, partially due to brisk northwest winds. Updates from the NWS San Francisco CA reveal that the Frost Advisory for certain areas in Monterey and San Benito has been lifted. However, tomorrow is likely to bring back cold temperatures combined with calmer winds and clear skies, setting the stage for a potentially frosty environment in the region.
Looking ahead, there is a forecast of light precipitation in the Bay Area on Wednesday, stemming from a larger weather system affecting the Pacific Northwest. Although some rain is expected, accumulation is predicted to be minimal in most areas, with higher amounts anticipated in the coastal ranges of Sonoma. Despite the brief rainfall and temperature drop, a warming trend is on the horizon, promising milder weather by the weekend.
For aviation enthusiasts and marine enthusiasts, the Area Forecast Discussion paints a promising picture. Aviation activities are expected to have predominantly VFR cVisual Flight Rulesc conditions after turbulence and cloud cover dissipates around Monterey Bay. Marine conditions are influenced by high pressure, with gusty winds forecasted to calm down by Tuesday afternoon. However, a resurgence of gusty winds is likely toward Wednesday and Thursday due to an approaching cold front.
