Bay Area residents can look forward to a continuation of warm and dry conditions, with temperatures breaking records throughout the region.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed that the Bay Area will experience unseasonably warm temperatures and dry conditions for the remainder of the week. With clear skies and a notable lack of precipitation, this weather pattern is expected to persist. Record high temperatures are being reported across the region, with Watsonville Airport reaching a high of 72 degrees on December 2, surpassing previous records for this time of year. Additionally, Oakland Museum’s temperature is forecasted to exceed its previous December high of 67 degrees set in 2014.
The warmth is the result of a high-pressure system over the West Coast, coupled with a low-pressure system in the Desert Southwest, which is setting the stage for more dry conditions. Despite a few short-lived disturbances, the forecast remains favorable for dry, warm weather across the region.
What to Expect in the Coming Days
While the Bay Area continues to bask in warmth, travelers should be aware of fog conditions along coastal areas, particularly near Big Sur and south of Carmel by the Sea. The NWS advises caution for drivers heading down Highway 1 due to potential visibility issues caused by fog.
Despite minimal changes in conditions, the Bay Area is expected to experience light breezes in certain areas. A shortwave disturbance on Thursday may bring increased cloud cover to some coastal regions, but overall, the likelihood of any major weather changes remains low.
In addition, aviation stakeholders can expect mostly favorable flying conditions. While patchy fog may disrupt flights in certain areas, the overall conditions are predicted to remain clear with light, variable winds. These conditions are ideal for both air travel and maritime activities.
