San Jose is waking up to classic early summer weather today, with clear skies, airport readings in the upper 50s, and sunshine already taking over. Inland neighborhoods are on track to warm into the mid‑80s this afternoon, topping out near 86°F, before overnight lows slide back into the mid‑50s. Out at Pacific‑facing beaches, though, a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through 5 AM tomorrow, thanks to a long‑period swell that can kick up sneaker waves and strong rip currents.
Afternoon Heat Inland
Across the Santa Clara Valley today, look for wall‑to‑wall sunshine and north‑northwest winds running a light 0 to 9 mph, with highs around 86°F, the warmest day of the week for most inland neighborhoods. The East Bay Hills and the Salinas Valley could feel a bit more wind this afternoon as the onshore breeze ramps up, setting the stage for a breezy but dry evening. Overnight, temperatures will cool into the mid‑50s across the region, while the marine layer starts to rebuild, according to the National Weather Service.
Coast Sneaker Waves And Rip Currents
Along Pacific‑facing beaches, a Beach Hazards Statement stays posted through 5 AM tomorrow, flagging an increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents. A long‑period southwest swell can send unexpectedly large waves much farther up the sand than usual, and Small Craft Advisories offshore mean boaters should be extra careful and steer clear of jetties and rocks.
Plan For The Commute
Low clouds and patches of fog clinging to Monterey Bay and parts of the Big Sur coast should lift through the late morning, but the marine layer is expected to deepen again overnight until tomorrow, which could help those clouds creep farther inland by early Wednesday. The pattern sets up cooler mornings near the coast and warmer afternoons farther inland, so if you are plotting beach time, a boat trip, or outdoor plans after work, it is worth checking your local forecast before you head out.
