San Jose rolled in today, under pockets of patchy fog, but the gray start will not last all day. Skies are expected to turn mostly sunny by midmorning, with a high near 71°F. Early temperatures sit in the low 50s, easing into the upper 60s late this afternoon, before slipping back into the upper 40s overnight.
Foggy Morning Commute
Patchy fog is likely before about 8 AM today, especially along valley approaches, and drivers could hit brief stretches of reduced visibility. Take it easy on the accelerator, flip on low-beam headlights, and give yourself a few extra minutes for that early drive. Most areas should trade fog for sunshine by late morning. For live road conditions before you head out, check Caltrans.
Afternoon And Weekend Outlook
Once the fog burns off, expect mostly sunny skies this afternoon, with onshore breezes around 2 to 10 mph and a high near 71°F. A weak upper-level trough will increase the chance of light drizzle or patchy rain tomorrow and Sunday, with the highest chance in the Central Coast and higher terrain. Rainfall totals look minimal, mostly just traces to a few hundredths of an inch, with up to a tenth of an inch in the Santa Lucia Range. A gradual warming trend should return early next week, and marine conditions will stay choppy for boaters through this evening, according to the NWS Bay Area.
What To Know
If you are heading out this morning, plan for short-lived visibility drops on valley approaches and budget a little extra commute time. Boaters should check the latest forecast before going offshore, and a light jacket will come in handy for the cool evenings after sunset.
