San Francisco is trading this week’s heat for a more familiar mix of cool mornings, bright skies and a persistent bay breeze. Friday should bring morning stratus that clears and dry conditions.
Low Clouds Clear Before A Breezy Afternoon
Early Friday could bring coastal low clouds and gray patches around the Golden Gate, but skies are expected to brighten by late morning. A moderate onshore breeze is expected, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday night, stratus is likely to return to most terminals. The practical forecast is simple: a light layer for the morning, sunglasses for the afternoon and something wind-resistant if you’ll be near the waterfront.
Saturday Brings Stronger Winds
Saturday will be breezy and clear, with bayside temperatures in the upper 60s to upper 70s. West winds are forecast at 13 to 21 mph, with gusts up to 31 mph, making exposed streets, hilltops and waterfront paths feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.
Sunday looks like the warmest day of the weekend, with sunny skies and a high near 72. Monday should remain near or slightly below seasonal averages early the following week.
Heat Advisory Is Now In The Rearview
The cooldown follows Thursday’s brief heat advisory and marks a sharp change from the warmer conditions covered in Hoodline’s previous forecast. No land-based watches, warnings or advisories are listed for San Francisco, and rain chances remain near zero through the middle of next week.
