San Francisco is starting today with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 58 degrees. The city should warm to about 67 degrees before easing back into the mid-60s during the afternoon, with a few more breaks of sun arriving later in the day.

Afternoon Winds Pick Up

Southwest winds will run about 9 to 16 mph, with gusts reaching up to 23 mph, especially from midday into the late afternoon. The National Weather Service puts the chance of rain at just 2%, so umbrellas can remain on standby rather than center stage.

Friday Brings The Week’s Coolest Day

Tomorrow is expected to stay mostly cloudy, with a high near 66 and a low around 58. The weekend brings a modest rebound, with partly sunny skies and highs near 66 to 67 degrees on Saturday and next Sunday, while next Monday dips back to about 63.

Clouds Return After Sunset

The marine layer will rebuild tonight, bringing mostly cloudy skies and another low near 58 degrees. Mostly cloudy nights and mild, below-normal afternoons are expected to continue into next week, with next Tuesday and Wednesday highs near 65.
