The National Weather Service San Francisco, CA, has issued a Wind Advisory for the North Bay Interior Mountains, cautioning residents about northerly winds ranging from 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 45 mph, which could reach up to 55 mph at the peaks of the Mayacamas Mountains. The advisory remains in place until 8 a.m. Thursday. As reported by NWS San Francisco, the public should secure loose outdoor objects to prevent property damage.

A warming trend will begin on Wednesday, driven by developing offshore winds. According to a discussion issued at 300 AM PDT Wednesday by the NWS, temperatures are expected to hit the low-to-mid 80s inland, while coastal areas should see 60s and possibly mid-70s in regions like Santa Cruz. A strong gust, expecting to see similarly strong gusty winds, is forecasted for Mount Diablo even though the East Bay Hills should not experience widespread enough conditions to prompt another advisory.

Overnight temperatures could remain warm in the North Bay and interior parts of the East Bay, as conspicuously offshore flows are predicted to keep readings in the mid-to-upper 50s, with the highest peaks possibly staying in the lower 60s. Meanwhile, other areas might experience the upper 40s to mid-50s at night.

As the warming trend persists, Thursday and Friday are the hottest days of the week. "The seasonably warm temperatures are causing a minor to moderate HeatRisk, meaning that a low to moderate risk for heat-related illnesses exists for vulnerable populations," stated the forecast by the NWS. Coastal temperatures will vary between the upper 60s to lower 70s, whereas inland areas can expect significantly higher readings, reaching from the upper 80s to lower 90s by Friday.

In aviation news, general VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions are expected to persist through the TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts) period. While winds at the surface may abate overnight, the potential for moderate wind shear remains as winds aloft continue to demonstrate strength, hence the introduction of LLWS (Low-Level Wind Shear) at certain TAF sites, an element particularly relevant to pilot briefings and aviation safety concerns.

The marine forecast indicates that while strong and gusty northerly winds will continue, they will transition from fresh to moderate by Thursday. Wave heights of 13 to 14 feet are expected in the outer waters today, tapering off to 5 to 7 feet by the end of the week. The ongoing dry weather pattern is slated to persist as the region remains under the influence of high-pressure systems.
