San Francisco is getting one more mild, partly sunny day Sunday before the Bay Area settles into a cooler pattern. Temperatures should reach the upper 60s, but low-lying shoreline areas face a coastal flooding risk around high tide.
Sunny Sunday Comes With A Shoreline Warning
Sunday highs near the Bays are forecast in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Winds will stay light early and turn west at roughly 2 to 8 mph, with no rain expected.
The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory through 3 p.m. Thursday for vulnerable bayshore locations. High tides could reach 1.9 feet above normal at the San Francisco gauge, potentially causing isolated road closures, flooding around low-lying infrastructure and coastal erosion.
High Tides Could Snarl Bayshore Travel
Sunday’s high tide is expected around 11:07 a.m. at the San Francisco gauge, with additional elevated tides arriving around midday Monday through Thursday. Drivers should allow extra time near the Bay shoreline, avoid barricades and never drive through water of unknown depth.
Cooler, Windier Weather Takes Over Monday
Onshore flow is expected to return Monday.
The second half of the week is expected to bring highs in the lower to middle 60s.
Rain Chances Arrive For Halloween Weekend
Thursday stays partly sunny with a high near 61 degrees. Rain chances are expected to increase next Friday into the weekend.
For now, the weekend forecast looks more damp than stormy, but outdoor plans may need a backup option by Friday. The bigger near-term concern is the combination of high tides and low-lying shoreline flooding, not heavy rain.
