San Francisco, Calif. – A patchy drizzle will persist through early Sunday morning, followed by a gradual clearing as sunshine breaks through across the Bay Area. As the drizzle fades, the region will enter a stretch of warmer, breezy days leading into midweek, though winds will continue to make travel on bridges a bit challenging, particularly on Sunday evening.
The National Weather Service has predicted that light drizzle may linger until 9 a.m. on Sunday, with skies remaining mostly cloudy during the morning hours. Temperatures will reach a high of around 67°F in San Francisco. While the drizzle dissipates, westward winds of 15 to 20 mph will remain persistent throughout the day, with gusts reaching up to 26 mph near coastal areas and higher elevations. These breezy conditions will impact areas like the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge, making travel across the bridges more difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles such as trucks.
As we head into Monday, the weather will take a turn for the better. Skies are expected to turn mostly sunny, offering a brighter start to the week. Highs will remain in the upper 60s, similar to Sunday, with winds continuing to blow at a steady pace, gusting up to 22 mph. Though it’s not an extreme heatwave, the clear skies and breezy weather will create a typical San Francisco summer pattern. Lows overnight will dip into the mid-50s, providing a cool but comfortable evening.
For residents in inland cities like Concord and Walnut Creek, the warm-up will be more noticeable. By Wednesday, afternoon highs in these areas are expected to approach the 80-degree mark, giving a taste of the summer heat that is often a hallmark of the Bay Area’s inland communities. Coastal areas, however, will continue to enjoy mild temperatures, staying in the upper 60s and low 70s.
Travelers in the Bay Area should be prepared for gusty winds that will affect bridge conditions, particularly during peak travel hours in the afternoon. With winds expected to gust up to 26 mph on Sunday and continuing through Monday, motorists are advised to stay alert when crossing the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. High-profile vehicles should exercise caution, especially during the breezy afternoon and evening periods. The National Weather Service has also encouraged locals to secure any outdoor items, such as patio furniture or umbrellas, that may be susceptible to the gusty conditions.
The five-day forecast shows a gradual warming trend, with the promise of sunny skies. By Wednesday, the highs will reach 72°F, with light winds and mostly clear conditions throughout the Bay Area. Thursday will see temperatures inching up to 74°F, accompanied by lows around 56°F. The sunny weather will provide a nice reprieve from the cloud cover, making for ideal conditions for outdoor activities.
Residents should keep an eye on any weather updates, as winds could strengthen in certain areas or fog may roll back in along the coast. For now, though, the forecast calls for mild, sunny weather to dominate through at least Thursday, with temperatures rising steadily.
