San Franciscans can look forward to enjoying a continuation of the region's dry weather, with a warming trend on the horizon. In a statement issued early this morning, the weather service points to high temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s for interior valleys and the mid-50s to mid-60s nearer the coast and higher elevations. Friday promises to be another "warm and dry day," according to the latest National Weather Service San Francisco forecast.

However, there are some minor variations to watch out for. Some North Bay valleys and areas around San Francisco and the East Bay might see fog development overnight. "Some guidance hints the potential for fog to develop around the North Bay Valleys and perhaps near San Francisco and perhaps into the East Bay overnight," the NWS San Francisco notes, signaling a need for extra caution on the roads. While the upper-level ridging will lead to a sunny situation, it shifts to a more zonal pattern over the weekend as a shortwave disturbance skirts to the north.

The dry spell is expected to continue, with "dry and warmer weather persists" throughout the upcoming week. While there might be a few light showers touching the far northern portions of Sonoma and Napa counties on Sunday into Monday, the forecast indicates that any rainfall will be minimal. The National Weather Service also teases the potential for high temperatures to challenge records by midweek, stating, "should the trends continue to lean warmer we may need to bump the forecast up a few degrees."
