.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 101 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Upper low near Baja will be kicking out and will move across the 
state Tuesday and Tuesday night. Main thing we'll see is increased
mid-upper cloudiness, though we cannot completely rule out an 
isolated light rain shower or sprinkle.

This system will pass to our east Tuesday night followed by
decreasing cloudiness. Plenty of sun to start the day Wednesday,
along with a sw/w llvl flow, should allow for a quick warm-up 
with temps topping out in the upper 60s-low 70s before the next 
front moves into the region during the late morning and afternoon
hours. 

Cooler, dry wx is again expected Thursday...a bit warmer
Fri...then another front Fri night or Sat. Dry nw flow aloft, with
ridging to our west and trof to our east, should keep this fropa
and weekend dry too. 47

.MARINE...
Issued at 101 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Mariners should anticipate negative tide levels through the week,
especially around low tide cycles in the central and northern 
half of the the bays. Will maintain the Low Water Advisory in
place...though values might fall just short of criteria (-1 MLLW)
between nor an Tue. But with a Wednesday daytime frontal passage 
pushing additional water out of the bay, it'll probably be a 
no-brainer and mariners should be cognizant of grounding risks. 
Otherwise, light winds and low seas in place will build and SCAs 
look through Tuesday. The next front is expected to push into the 
waters Wednesday afternoon with increasing northwest and north 
winds filling in behind it Wednesday night into Thursday along 
with building seas. 47
