WHAT HAS CHANGED

Added patchy fog and increased PoPs through the early morning hours over western portions of the area due to ongoing light to moderate showers.

Potential for periods of high risk of rip currents today, especially during the mid to late afternoon with the outgoing tide.

Added slight chance PoPs for this afternoon with potential for isolated moderate rain showers.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Potential for periods of rain Thursday through the weekend. Impacts appear to be limited at this time.

KEY MESSAGE 1

Once a cold front pushes through Wednesday night, it will stall over or near the area through the weekend. Shortwave energy pivoting through the base of a longwave trough will likely generate multiple waves of low pressure that will move along the stalled front. Exact location of this front will determine timing, location and amount of rainfall.

General consensus from latest guidance has the front placed offshore through much of this period, but there is still a good amount of uncertainty. A very large spread exists in the latest NBM QPF percentiles. Looking at 10th and 90th percentiles for multiple 24 hour periods Thursday through Monday, the 10th percentile is completely dry each period while the 90th percentile maxes out with the 24 hour period ending 00z Sunday with 1.5 to 2.5 inches across the area. The wetter solution could potentially bring periods of heavy rain and in turn a flooding threat, but this is a low probability at this time.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

Tuesday night: Mainly VFR. Low probability for a brief shower with MVFR possible early.

Wednesday: VFR.

Thursday: Chance of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR or lower at times.

Friday: Chance of showers with MVFR or lower at times.

Saturday: Chance of showers with MVFR or lower at times.

MARINE

A light pressure gradient will lead to sub-SCA conditions through the weekend.

Rip Currents: While winds will be light today, a lingering 3 ft 7s swell will continue, directed perpendicular to the coast. Sticking with the moderate risk, but there is potential for periods of a high risk, especially in the mid to late afternoon with the outgoing tide. Will continue to monitor observed swell at area buoys. A higher wave height or period than forecast may result in an upgrade to a high risk. A low risk is then expected on Wednesday with continued light winds and a weakening swell.
