, Issued at 325 AM PST Mon Jan 26 2026 (Today and tonight)
Progressive short wave troughing today will give way to progressive ridging tonight with the ridge axis shifting east of our area by early Tuesday morning. Patchy fog is expected to develop overnight in portions of the North Bay, East Bay and South Bay with coverage or duration not expected to necessitate an advisory attm. Southerly boundary layer winds combined with weak offshore surface winds will help lift temperatures a few degrees across the interior from Sundays highs, remaining right around the same along the coast. Cloudy skies this morning will give way to a mix of Sun and clouds this afternoon, especially inland further helping the modest temperature increases.

Extended forecast remains on track with rain chances increasing Tuesday evening, continuing through Wednesday morning. HiRes HRRR/RRFS focus primarily on the North Bay struggling to reach 0.10" with NBM PoPs possibly a little overdone with chances to the south as the best lift associated with the surface boundary continuing to shift north of our area. Drier conditions will persist for the remainder of the week with persistent ridging while the signal for another round of scattered light beneficial rain next weekend beginning to fade while temperatures trend warmer for the weekend, especially across the Central Coast.
