The Bay Area's temperate mood continues. According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, CA, residents can expect quiet weather with temperatures hovering at or slightly below the seasonal average into the midweek. The current low-pressure system offshore is content to float northwards, dragging a cool, marine touch inland with it.

Mornings throughout the region may start with a grey veil as fog and stratus make their daily pilgrimage inland. By early afternoon, however, the fog is slated to lift, yet it's likely to cling stubbornly to the coast. This will permit occasional bouts of sunshine to punctuate the day. Those coastal breaches in the marine layer might somewhat struggle to reveal the sun's radiance fully until mid-morning tomorrow.

Looking to the future, a subtle warming trend is on the eventual horizon. "Shortwave ridging and H50 thickness increases on Wednesday will result in a barely noticeable uptick in temperatures," the National Weather Service issued just past the witching hour this morning. It seems the gods of weather are to slowly turn the thermostat up as we head further into the week, though not to the scorching heights of the past heatwaves that tested the Bay Area's mettle.

Aviation updates spell mostly good news for flyers. Most terminals expect VFR—visual flight rules—conditions by late morning today. However, gusting north-westerly, the familiar onshore winds are poised to pick up by this afternoon. Those traveling via SFO might want to brace themselves for gusts up to 25 knots—shy of making a mess of your hair but not quite enough to unsettle your flight plans. According to the National Weather Service, "Winds will prevail out of the west/northwest through the TAF period with gusts up to 25 knots to be expected this afternoon and evening."

Meanwhile, mariners won't have to battle much chop for the start of the week. "Light southerly breezes will prevail today", says the National Weather Service's maritime forecast, a sentiment echoing the tranquility of the larger weather patterns. However, the conditions will gradually become more boisterous as northwesterly winds gain momentum, potentially bothering caps and lightly tousling hair but not expected to reach the heights necessary for a Small Craft Advisory. The sea may still offer a bit more rock and sway towards the end of the week, with significant wave heights billed to build from tomorrow onwards.
