San Jose woke to a thick deck of low clouds and patchy fog today, with temperatures in the mid-50s and visibility trimmed back in some of the usual low-lying trouble spots. The marine layer is expected to thin by mid-morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and an afternoon high near 79°F.
Afternoon Breeze Kicks Up While Coast Stays Chilly
Northwest breezes start off light this morning, then pick up to around 5 to 10 mph through the afternoon, with slightly gustier pockets near gaps and hill exits. The immediate coastline and bayfront stay on the cool side in the low 60s, while neighborhoods farther inland warm into the upper 70s and low 80s. Drivers can expect slower morning commutes in areas where the fog lingers a little longer.
Weekend Warm-Up And Monday Peak
Temperatures trend warmer through the weekend, with highs near 82°F on Saturday, and about 84°F next Sunday, before peaking next Monday, around 93°F for many inland valley spots. The warmer, drier pattern raises a moderate risk for heat-related illnesses among sensitive populations beginning this weekend, and people who are elderly, ill, or work outdoors should plan accordingly, according to the National Weather Service. Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous outdoor work during the hottest part of the day.
Boaters And Beaches
Offshore and along the coast, small-craft advisories are in effect through Saturday for much of the Monterey Bay and the north coast, with seas building and conditions turning choppy for smaller vessels. Beachgoers should watch for sneaker waves and rip currents and keep well above the surf line. Boat operators and paddlers should check local advisories before launching.
