San Jose woke up today on the crisp side, with the airport checking in at about 52°F before sunrise. Skies stay sunny through the day, and the city is expected to warm into the upper 70s, topping out around 79°F this afternoon, with temperatures slipping a few degrees near the shore by evening.

Afternoon Winds Pick Up

Breezy west-northwest winds are on tap for this afternoon, with sustained speeds mostly in the 1 to 12 mph range and gusts up to around 20 mph. The gusts will be most noticeable along bayfronts and through hill gaps, so do not be surprised by occasional brisk bursts while walking, biking, or trying to keep that patio umbrella from taking flight this evening.

Small Chance Of Coastal Drizzle Late Monday Night, Then A Warmup

The National Weather Service expects the cooler pattern to hold through Tuesday, with a slight chance of coastal drizzle or light rain late tomorrow night into early Tuesday. Any rainfall totals should be on the light side, generally under a tenth of an inch, with the highest amounts limited to the North Bay coastal ranges.

The agency also flags hazardous seas, with Small Craft Advisories in effect for Monterey Bay and a Gale Warning from Point Arena to Point Reyes through Sunday evening, so boaters should plan carefully. By midweek, a ridge builds in and inland highs rebound to about 88°F on Wednesday, June 10, and near 93°F on Thursday, June 11. That brings a modest heat risk for older adults, young children, and anyone who works outdoors.

Stay Cool If You Need To

The Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Management keeps a hot-weather resource page with cooling center listings and heat safety tips for residents. Check the county page for locations and hours before heading out, and keep an eye on older neighbors, small children, and pets as temperatures climb into midweek.
