San Francisco is waking up to mild, mostly clear conditions today, with temperatures around 57 degrees near SFO before the city warms quickly. Skies should turn sunny, sending the high toward 77 degrees, while a southwest breeze picks up through the afternoon. It is a bright, dry setup for outdoor plans, though the waterfront may still feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.
Sunny Afternoon, Breezier Near The Water
Afternoon winds are expected to run from 3 to 13 mph, with gusts reaching around 20 mph. Nearby coastal areas could see patchy low clouds or fog early, but the marine layer should remain compressed and give way to clearer skies by late morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight stays mostly clear with a low near 57 degrees. There is no rain in the forecast through Saturday, making the main planning issue a familiar San Francisco one: sunshine inland, breeze along the bay and a jacket-worthy evening.
Cooler Pattern Takes Hold By Midweek
Tomorrow looks nearly identical, with sunshine and a high near 77. Temperatures then ease to about 74 Tuesday, 73 Wednesday and 69 Thursday before edging back up to the low 70s Friday and Saturday.
Beach And Inland Fire Weather Concerns
The weather service is warning of hazardous beach conditions along the Pacific Coast today, including an increased risk of sneaker waves and rip currents through the afternoon. Anyone heading to ocean beaches should stay well back from the waterline and swim only near lifeguards.
Farther inland, near-critical fire weather conditions are expected tomorrow as dry conditions, low humidity and afternoon breezes combine across the North and East Bays and nearby ranges. Avoid activities that could create sparks in those areas, especially during the warmest and windiest part of the day.
