San Jose woke up today under a low marine layer, with patchy fog and cool clouds keeping early temperatures in the mid-50s. The gray should thin by late morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a holiday high near 74°F. By the afternoon, expect those familiar breezes to kick up across exposed neighborhoods, with gusts topping out around 18 mph.
Memorial Day Forecast
Patchy fog is likely before 7 AM, and there is a slight chance of drizzle along the immediate coast between about 8 AM and 11 AM. Inland neighborhoods should shake off the clouds, clear to the sun, and climb into the low to mid 70s. After sunset, temperatures drop back into the low 50s, so anyone planning to stay out late for gatherings or barbecues will want a light layer for the cool finish to the holiday.
Tuesday Winds And Marine Advisories
An upper-level trough arriving tomorrow will usher in stronger northerly winds across the region, with gusts of 30 to 40 mph possible along exposed coastlines, ridgelines, and gap passes, while inland gusts could reach the mid-20s. The National Weather Service has issued Small Craft Advisories for Monterey Bay and much of the outer coastal waters for tomorrow. Mariners should plan for rough seas and near-gale gusts and check zone times before heading out.
Plan Ahead For Commutes And Weekend Plans
Morning commuters should budget extra time on bayfront routes and low-lying roads where fog can cut visibility, and keep a jacket handy for the cool evening trip home. Anyone who had a boat trip penciled in should think about moving it earlier in the week or postponing, and keep a close eye on local marine notices.
