A wintry mix will continue in interior New England through tonight as a coastal storm quickly passes to the east. Heavy snow is expected in northern Maine, with a coating of ice expected for much of interior New England. Behind this storm system, lake effect snow and snow squalls will develop from the Ohio Valley to interior New England through Monday. Read More >

913 FXUS66 KMTR 111739 AFDMTR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 939 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 ...New AVIATION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1227 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 - High and dry pattern with offshore flow and cold overnight conditions - Hazardous beach conditions at all Pacific Coast beaches today and tomorrow and again throughout the week && .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1227 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 (Today and Monday) High pressure in the Intermountain West and a coastal trough off the California Coast will be responsible for our weather for the next week. Calm, clear, and cool conditions will allow for efficient radiational cooling - this is why we have been cold the past three mornings. Everything seems to be on track with temperatures generally within two degrees of the forecast. As such, cold weather products are in effect through 9AM this morning. Patchy radiational fog will be another hazard through the morning with STS just developing it as I was typing this. Today and tomorrow will be very similar with afternoon temperatures rising to 5 degrees above normal and overnight temperatures falling to 5 degrees below normal. Hazardous beach conditions return to all Pacific Coast beaches today with an increased risk for strong rip currents, sneaker waves, and large shore break. If you go to the beach: remain out of the water, stay off of waterside infrastructure such as jetties, piers, and rocks, and never turn your back on the ocean! Bonus: high clouds streaming in from the Eastern Pacific Ocean will continue to make for mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets. && .LONG TERM... Issued at 1227 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 (Tuesday through Saturday) Global ensemble clusters are in agreement that an anomalously high amplitude upper-level longwave ridge and its axis will dominate our long term forecast. This will result in a warming trend of 10 degrees, with minimum temperatures slower to respond than maximum temperatures. No records are forecast to be in jeopardy. Unfortunately, periods of hazardous beach conditions with an increased risk for strong rip currents, sneaker waves, and large breaking waves are expected through the week, coinciding with great beach weather. If you go to the beach: remain out of the water, stay off of waterside infrastructure such as jetties, piers, and rocks, and never turn your back on the ocean! Rain is still going to have to wait for beyond the long term forecast. The 20th continues to be the earliest possible return with the ECMWF and GFS showing some form of troughing returning, but agreement is terrible not only between the deterministic solutions but also across their ensemble members. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 934 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 VFR. Broad ridge of high pressure resulting in clear conditions across the board through this TAF period. The exception being isolated dense FG invof KSTS overnight through sunrise Monday. Winds generally light and variable. Vicinity of SFO...VFR. Clear conditions anticipated through the TAF period. NE wind component through the morning hours, but very likely to stay under 7-8 kts. SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO. Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR. Clear skies with light and variable winds. SE drainage flow out of the Salinas Valley during the mornings. && .MARINE... (Today through Friday) Issued at 934 AM PST Sun Jan 11 2026 Expect mostly light winds and swell today. A longer period and larger northwesterly builds this afternoon producing a rough sea state through early Tuesday. Seas rebuild in the late work week. Winds stay mostly light to moderate through the week. && .BEACHES... Issued at 112 PM PST Sat Jan 10 2026 A Beach Hazard Statement will go into effect at 4PM PST Sunday and continue through Monday evening for all Pacific Coast beaches from Sonoma to Monterey County. A longer period moderate swell will bring hazardous beach conditions with increased risk for rip currents, sneaker waves, and larger shore break. This will result in dangerous conditions along the shoreline. Hazardous beach conditions are expected to continue through Thursday with the issuance of additional Beach Hazard Statements likely. Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean.
