Today, the marine layer pushed back over San Francisco again, locking in morning temperatures near the mid‑50s at SFO and keeping the bayshore on the chilly side. Inland neighborhoods will sneak into the mid‑60s while breezy west‑southwest winds pick up through the afternoon, with gusts topping out in the low 20s.
Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoons
Low clouds and patchy stratus are expected to spread in through the pre‑dawn hours and mostly clear from the shoreline by late morning, leaving sunnier pockets inland and mostly cloudy to partly sunny conditions right along the water. Forecast highs sit around 66°F, with west‑southwest winds near 7 to 15 mph and gusts around 22 to 23 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Small Boats And Bayfront Visitors
A Small Craft Advisory is in effect this afternoon into the evening for Monterey Bay and for parts of the outer waters through the night, with choppy seas and frequent gusts creating hazardous conditions for small vessels. Inexperienced mariners are urged to seek safe harbor and stay away from exposed waters until conditions ease, and shoreline visitors should keep a safe distance from piers and jetties.
What To Expect For Your Plans
If you are heading to the waterfront tonight, bring layers and be ready for gusty bridge crossings and sudden drops in visibility near the shore. Cyclists and drivers on exposed stretches may feel strong crosswinds, while inland errands and hikes will stay relatively mild. Check updated forecasts and local conditions before you head out, and keep an eye on the weekend trend toward a cooler, more humid pattern.
