San Francisco is getting a classic late-August split today: a cool, cloudy start near 60 degrees followed by mostly sunny skies, a high around 69, and a noticeable afternoon breeze. The city should stay dry, but anyone heading out early may want a light layer before the sun takes over.
Sunny Afternoon, Breezy Evening
Clouds should thin through the morning, with temperatures climbing through the 60s around midday and peaking near 69. West-southwest winds of 7 to 14 mph will pick up later, with gusts reaching 18 mph—enough to turn a waterfront picnic into a napkin-chasing exercise.
The National Weather Service expects mostly cloudy skies tonight, with a low around 57 and gusts as high as 21 mph. No weather advisories or warnings are currently posted for San Francisco.
Warmest Stretch Arrives Midweek
Tomorrow stays partly sunny with a high near 69, while Wednesday and Thursday bring the warmest city readings of the week, around 72. Inland Bay Area communities will run much warmer than the city, with valleys reaching the 80s and 90s even as coastal and bayside neighborhoods remain cooler.
Cooler By Friday
The pattern turns cooler on Friday, when San Francisco's high is expected to be near 64, followed by mostly sunny but breezy mid-60s weather Saturday and next Sunday. Overnight lows will generally sit in the mid- to upper 50s, so the week looks more like bring a jacket than find the nearest air conditioner.
