.UPDATE...
Issued at 852 PM PDT Tue Oct 14 2025

No update to the forecast, with light rain over the North Bay
expected to taper off after midnight. We`re going to start to dry
out tomorrow with warmer temperatures through the remainder of the
week. As far as rainfall over the past twenty-four hours, interior
locations across the Central Coast, at higher elevations generally
saw between 0.75" to 1" with two sites near Pinnacles National
Park getting just over an inch. We also received reports of two
funnel clouds, one near Salinas around 130pm and another near
Hollister shortly after.

.SHORT TERM...
Issued at 1228 PM PDT Tue Oct 14 2025
(This evening through Wednesday)

The 12Z sounding found very cold air aloft. The 850 temp was 2.35C
and 500 temp -25.35C. Both near the minimum daily values. Most
notable was the 500 mb height of 5460m. That shattered the daily
record. For context the average for this date is 5787, 10th
percentile: 5667, old record: 5572. In fact, 5460 is tied for the
second lowest 500 mb height ever measured in the month of October,
beaten only by 5457m measured on 10/28/56. While this cold air is
keeping lapse rates steep, the moisture has plummeted and the surface
front has passed into southern California keeping the impacts much
lower today. That being said, there are still scattered showers
expected through the evening. Some of these could be strong with
possible lightning, hail and brief downpours. By Wednesday the
atmosphere will restabilize and the chance for rain will drop to
near zero. The wet soil, combined with clearing skies tonight and
cool temperatures will bring a chance for fog Wednesday morning if
a shallow inversion forms.

.LONG TERM...
Issued at 1228 PM PDT Tue Oct 14 2025
(Wednesday night through next Monday)

Over the next several days the bowling ball mid level low will
fill and move NE, returning back to the jet stream over the
central US. While this happens, ridging from the subtropical high
will nudge in over California. This will kick off a warming trend
starting Wednesday, with temperatures returning to comfortable
seasonal average by Friday. Saturday will be a few degrees warmer
than normal before the pattern breaks down. A new, more typical
trough is set to approach the coast by Sunday, bringing a slight
cool down into early next week. Ensemble cluster analysis suggest
there is a good amount of uncertainty regarding how deep this
trough gets, complicated in part by a left-over cutoff low off the
coast of Mexico. If these 2 features combine there is a chance
for rain, otherwise the trough likely won`t be deep enough to
bring more than clouds and cooler weather.
