San Jose is starting Saturday, September 5, with clear skies and temperatures around 55 degrees, but the weekend forecast is already plotting a warmer turn. Saturday should stay sunny with a high near 78, while Sunday eases back to 76 before Labor Day climbs to 83. By Tuesday, the South Bay could be flirting with 87 degrees.
Sunny Saturday, Breezier Afternoon
The National Weather Service calls for a dry Saturday with north-northwest winds increasing through the afternoon. Gusts of 20 to 25 knots are possible at SFO and SJC, especially later in the day, while Saturday night remains mostly clear with a low near 56. Sunday follows the same sunny pattern, with afternoon gusts up to about 22 mph.
Labor Day Starts The Warmup
Monday's holiday forecast is sunny and warmer, with a high near 83 and an overnight low around 60. Tuesday is projected to reach 87, while remnant tropical moisture could bring light rain Tuesday through Thursday. The forecast extends through Thursday.
Coastal Plans Come With A Warning
Anyone heading to Santa Cruz or another exposed beach should note that a Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Monday evening. The weather service warns that long-period swell could bring sneaker waves, strong rip currents and breaking waves up to 10 feet, even while inland weather is pleasant. Officials advise avoiding the water unless you're an experienced swimmer, and beachgoers should keep an eye on the surf and never turn their backs on the ocean.
Cool Now, Hotter Soon
The forecast marks a weekend-to-Labor-Day warming trend, a pattern also noted in Hoodline's earlier outlook. For San Jose residents, Saturday and Sunday look like the easier days for outdoor plans, while the forecast continues into the following week. Early temperatures are discussed in the 50s and 60s, along with warmer coastal minimums.
