National weather service summary
SHORT TERM...
Issued at 1224 PM PDT Thu Oct 1 2026
(This evening through Friday night)
Ridging, ridging, ridging... a basic summary of the weather pattern
across the western United States in the short and medium terms. We
are in the middle of an extended period of temperatures warmer than
seasonal averages and rather compressed marine layers, meaning that
the stratus deck will remain confined to the immediate coast during
the daytime and expand into the North Bay Valleys, the SF and
Monterey Bay regions, and the northern Salinas Valley overnight, but
keep the interior valleys generally clear. High temperatures today
and Friday range from the middle 80s to middle 90s inland, the upper
90s across the warmest spots of the interior Central Coast, the
middle 70s to middle 80s near the Bays, and the middle 60s to lower
70s at the Pacific coast. The onshore breeze will be rather light
with gusts of 20 to 25 mph possible through favored gaps and passes
and the northern Salinas Valley in the afternoon and evening hours.
