San Francisco woke up on the chilly side today, with damp air, patchy bay fog and temperatures sitting near 51°F. A few light showers are still lingering south of the city this morning, but skies are expected to turn mostly sunny by late morning across most neighborhoods.
Afternoon Sun And Breezy Evenings
By this afternoon, highs should land near 64°F, with northwest winds around 2-10 mph building as the day goes on. Inland spots will see the brightest sunshine, while the waterfront and western neighborhoods stay cooler and turn noticeably breezy into the evening.
Midweek Gusts And Marine Advisories
A passing trough in the middle of the week will keep temperatures near seasonal norms through Thursday and bring periods of gusty winds, especially over higher terrain from Wednesday through Friday. According to the National Weather Service San Francisco, small craft advisories are in place for parts of the outer coastal waters starting this afternoon and continuing into midweek. Mariners and ferry riders should be ready for building seas and choppy crossings. Impacts are expected to stay limited to stronger gusts on higher hills and rougher offshore conditions, but boat operators and anyone with waterfront plans should keep an eye on updated forecasts.
Weekend Outlook
Warmer weather moves back in by Friday, with highs climbing into the upper 60s to low 70s across much of the city. Forecast highs are near 71°F on Friday and around 70°F on Saturday. There is only a slight chance of light rain late Sunday into next week, so most outdoor plans look safe for now.
What To Know For Commuters And Boaters
Plan for classic San Francisco layer weather this week. Mornings will be cool with pockets of fog for early commuters, and afternoons will be comfortable but on the breezy side. Small boats should stay secured, and recreational mariners should check the NWS point forecast before heading out. If you are riding a ferry, expect rougher crossings from Wednesday through Friday.
