San Jose woke up today to clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s, with sunshine set to push the city toward 85 degrees before afternoon northwest winds arrive. The week starts warm and dry, then eases back into the upper 70s by next Sunday, with cooler mornings throughout.

Sunny Monday, Breezier Afternoon

Temperatures should climb through the 70s by late morning before topping out around 85 degrees during the afternoon. Northwest winds will strengthen from a light morning breeze to about 10 mph later in the day, while the chance of rain remains effectively zero.

Tonight turns partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 60 degrees. The shift is a sharper warmup than the 80-degree stretch described in an earlier Hoodline forecast, making the start of this week the warmer chapter.

Midweek Warmth Holds

Tomorrow will be partly sunny with a high near 83 degrees, followed by another sunny 85-degree day on Wednesday. Thursday stays bright and warm near 84 degrees, with overnight lows hovering around 60 or 61 degrees.

For outdoor plans, the most comfortable window will be the morning before inland heat and northwest winds build. There are no weather watches or warnings listed for the San Jose area, but water and shade remain sensible additions for extended afternoon activities.

Cooler Weekend May Bring A Forecast Wild Card

Temperatures begin sliding Friday, when the high is expected to reach about 80 degrees, and remain near 80 Saturday before settling around 78 next Sunday. Overnight lows fall into the upper 50s by Friday night and could reach 57 degrees Saturday night.

The National Weather Service says a broader pattern change could bring cooler conditions and possible tropical moisture to parts of the Bay Area from Friday into the weekend. San Jose's current forecast remains mostly sunny and dry, though the rain chance rises slightly to 8% Thursday night and Friday.
