San Jose is starting today around 63°F under cloudy skies, but the gray lid should loosen through the morning. Mostly sunny conditions are expected later, with a high near 75°F before temperatures settle into the low 70s in the afternoon. The bigger story is a gentle weekend warmup, not a return to the hotter weather seen earlier this summer.

Clouds Fade As Afternoon Winds Pick Up

Cloud cover should thin from late morning into early afternoon, while winds shift from light southerly flow to a northwesterly breeze of about 5 to 10 mph. The National Weather Service says the deeper marine layer will make one of the coolest days of the week, with light drizzle possible mainly along the coast and in higher terrain. San Jose’s rain chance is effectively zero, so most city neighborhoods should stay dry.

Foggy Mornings Return This Weekend

Patchy fog is possible before 9 a.m. tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday, followed by mostly sunny afternoons. Highs are forecast near 76°F tomorrow, 78°F Sunday, 76°F Monday, and 77°F Tuesday, with overnight lows mostly in the mid-to-upper 50s. Wednesday could be the warmest day of the stretch at around 79°F, with Thursday close behind at 78°F.

Easy Outdoor Weather After The Morning Gray

This afternoon looks comfortable for errands, walks, and outdoor plans, although a light jacket may still be welcome after sunset, when temperatures slip toward the upper 50s. Early drivers should watch for lingering low clouds or patchy fog, especially closer to the Bay and other low-lying areas. No watches, warnings, or advisories are listed for the area.
