San Jose woke up under a blanket of gray today, with the airport checking in at a cool 61°F and a light marine layer clinging to the coast. A slight chance of isolated morning showers hangs on through late morning before clouds start to peel back, and inland neighborhoods are still on track to climb into the low 80s this afternoon. If you are headed to the shore or starting an early commute, grab a light layer and be ready for a few pockets of drizzle.

Cloudy Start, Slim Shot at Showers

There is a small, widely scattered chance of rain through the morning, with the public forecast calling for roughly a 20% chance of showers and most of the activity easing by midday. According to the National Weather Service, any showers should be brief and mainly confined to coastal valleys before things clear out this afternoon.

Sunny Afternoons, Breezy Coastline

By later in the day, expect mostly sunny skies inland with highs around 80–82°F, while the immediate coast holds in the upper 50s to mid 60s. 

Heat Cranks Up Later This Week

After a relatively cool tomorrow, temperatures begin to climb by midweek as a ridge builds in, with inland highs expected to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s by Thursday and the hottest interior spots running even warmer. The National Weather Service discussion points to a gradual warm-up through Friday and into the weekend.

Travel And Outdoor Plans: What To Watch

Low clouds and patchy valley fog could trim visibility in the morning, so build in extra time for early commutes and double-check flight status if you are heading out of SJC. Plan on layers for coastal evenings, and later in the week, make sure to carry water and pace yourself if you will be outside as those inland temperatures rise.
