San Francisco is waking up under mostly cloudy skies Friday, with temperatures in the upper 50s before the city warms quickly toward the upper 70s. The weekend will bring even more heat, with sunny skies and a high near 84 on Saturday before temperatures ease slightly Sunday.
Clouds Give Way To A Warm Friday
Friday will turn partly sunny, with the high reaching about 77 degrees before temperatures slip back toward the low 70s during the afternoon. Winds will stay light early, then pick up from the west and northwest at around 6 to 8 mph later in the day.
Friday night should be partly cloudy with a low near 59 degrees. Rain is not expected, but coastal low clouds and fog could return overnight and linger into Saturday morning, especially near the shoreline.
Bayshore Flood Advisory Runs Through Friday Evening
A minor Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. Friday for low-lying locations along San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay and Monterey Bay. The National Weather Service says up to 0.9 feet of water could reach areas near shorelines and tidal waterways, including some roads, parks, lots and coastal trails.
The highest tide at the San Francisco gauge is expected around 3:58 p.m. Friday, when water levels could run about 0.9 feet above normal. People heading to the waterfront should allow extra time, avoid barricades and steer clear of flooded roads or trails, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunny Weekend Brings Bigger Heat Inland
Saturday looks sunny and noticeably warmer in the city, with a high near 84 and a low around 62 Saturday night. Sunday will remain mostly sunny with a high near 82, while a Heat Advisory is scheduled for several interior Bay Area zones from 11 a.m. Saturday through 10 p.m. Sunday.
Interior areas could see moderate to major heat risk and elevated fire-weather conditions through next week, even as San Francisco stays somewhat moderated by the bay. The city forecast then settles into a sunny stretch, with highs near 78 Monday and Tuesday, 80 Wednesday and 79 Thursday.
