San Francisco is starting Friday in the upper 50s, with the recent rain event fading out and a mostly sunny afternoon ahead. Temperatures should top out near 69 degrees, with the city settling into a dry, brighter weekend.
The National Weather Service says lingering clouds may hang on through the morning before clearing this afternoon. That is a quick pivot from Thursday's damp forecast, which Hoodline reported was expected to bring showers before a dry Friday-through-Sunday stretch.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
In the North Bay interior mountains, offshore gusts could reach up to 45 mph above 2,500 feet Friday night into Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area.
Sunny Weekend With A Foggy Footnote
Saturday looks like the pick of the weekend in San Francisco, with sunshine and a high near 73 degrees. Sunday should reach about 75.
Warming Trend Continues Into Early Next Week
The warming trend continues into early next week.
Shoreline Watch
The forecast carries no land alerts for San Francisco, but the National Weather Service says minor coastal flooding could develop at the usual trouble spots this weekend into at least the middle of next week because of the full moon and thermal expansion. Boaters should also note Small Craft Advisories covering parts of the coastal waters, where seas could build to 10 to 13 feet today and Saturday.
