A clickable map of the 7 day forecast showing temps and probability of precipitation over the SF and Monterey Bay areas with graduated color zones.

Mostly textual with hazardous weather outlooks.
NOAA Forecast Discussion
Updated every six hours or so, a detailed, graphics free analysis of the current forecast by NOAA staff. Written in all caps in the finest meteorologist-speak, includes limited hyperlinks to a glossary of terms for civilians.
Satellite
Java based loops of cloud patterns above Central California. The links for these images seems to have disappeared from the NOAA website, but the info still updates regularly.
Daytime- Central CA at 1km elevation
- Western US and Pacific Ocean, at 4km.
Infrared, so visible at night.
- Central CA at 2km elevation
- Western US and Pacific Ocean at 4km.
Radar
Animated loop over the Monterey Bay of rainfall (or lack thereof) for the next hour or so. Not actually useful at the event unless you've got a fast smartphone with java, but helpful if you're trying to paint the house between squalls.
