Water vapor imagery shows a ridge of high pressure situated off the West Coast, with predominately clear skies prevailing across the region. While there are a few high clouds out there, they did not limit our radiational cooling overnight and this morning or the patchy fog formation in Sonoma. As a result, most places are starting the day up to 4 degrees cooler this morning. The fog has also dissipated across Sonoma. Therefore, expect another pleasant day across the region, as temperature will once again warm into the mid 60s and lower 70s, which is roughly 5 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. Current forecast is handling these trends well, so no update is planned at this time. Palmer

High pressure will continue to build over California through the next 24 hours, with dry and warmer conditions prevailing. Daytime temperatures will run between 5 and 10 degrees warmer than normal today, and trend even warmer for Tuesday. Winds will remain relatively again tonight, so with the predominately clear skies prevailing, expect another good night of radiational cooling. Expect overnight lows to be similar to or slightly warmer than this morning. It also means that we could see some patchy fog formation once again, especially in the North Bay.
Only other concerns for today will be with the impacts from minor coastal flooding. While the threat will be lower than previous days, high astronomical tide late this morning into early this afternoon will still bring minor flooding to bayshore locations along the San Pablo Bay in the North Bay. Hazardous beach conditions continue at Pacific Coast beaches through this evening, read more in the BEACHES section. Palmer

High pressure will continue to dominate the forecast through the midweek, with the ridge axis shifting over California. As a result, expect the warming trend to continue through midweek, with Wednesday projected to be our warmest day of the week. Daytime temperatures will be in the 70s to around 80 for the warmest inland spots, while the coast will continue to see temperatures in the mid 60s to lower 70s.
Things are starting to look more interesting for the latter part of the work week and this weekend. A the ridge axis continues to shift east in response to a digging trough of low pressure. At this point in time, it looks like dry conditions will prevail through through at least Thursday. However, things are becoming more variable for Friday and the weekend, as the ensembles are showing a negatively tilted trough initially setting up off the California Coast on Friday. While it doesn't really look like a wet system, it doesn't mean that we couldn't potential see some light rain Friday or Saturday, as this is the system that may open the door for a better chance of rain on Sunday. While there are still quite a few differences in the ensembles and even the deterministic models, cannot rule out at least a slight chance of rain, especially for Sunday. Regardless of rain chances, expect cooler conditions to prevail with the return of onshore winds, and some cloud cover. Palmer
(18z TAFS) Issued at 920 AM PST Mon Feb 2 2026
VFR conditions will continue to prevail at all taf sites today and through most of the night, with relatively light and variable winds, with high confidence. However, confidence is more moderate, as there is the potential for some fog formation again tonight, especially for STS, which would result in sub-VFR conditions.
Vicinity of SFO, VFR conditions with light southerly flow will continue to prevail. High confidence in VFR through the TAF period. Diurnal winds will prevail today, with offshore flow returning tomorrow.
SFO Bridge Approach, Similar as SFO.
Monterey Bay Terminals, Currently VFR with drainage winds at both terminals. High confidence in VFR through the TAF period. Diurnal winds will prevail.
(today through Saturday) Issued at 815 AM PST Mon Feb 2 2026
Hazardous conditions will continue today for the inner waters and outer waters due to rough seas and fresh to strong northerly breezes. Conditions improve tomorrow as moderate seas and a gentle northeasterly breeze prevails through Thursday. By Friday, seas build to become rough, and northwesterly breezes increase to become moderate once again.

Hazardous beach conditions will continue through this evening at Pacific Coast beaches. Long period westerly swell will bring an increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breaking waves of 14 to 19 feet. Remember: stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure, remain out of the water, and never turn your back on the ocean!
