San Francisco gets a mostly sunny Tuesday with a high near 64 degrees, but the more important local story is along the waterfront: a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Friday afternoon. Northwesterly winds are expected, while low-lying shoreline areas face minor flooding around high tide.
Sunny Tuesday, Cooler Nights
Wednesday stays mild, with a high near 65, followed by highs around 63 Thursday and 59 Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, up to 2.1 feet of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay, Monterey Bay and the Pacific coast. At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected around 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, 12:56 p.m. Wednesday, 1:43 p.m. Thursday and 2:39 p.m. Friday, with water levels running 1.6 to 2.1 feet above normal.
The flooding could affect low-lying infrastructure, cause isolated road closures and increase coastal erosion. Anyone heading toward shoreline roads or paths should allow extra time, obey barricades and never drive through water of unknown depth.
Halloween Weekend Outlook
Friday is expected to be mostly sunny, with a high near 59 degrees. Rain chances return for Halloween weekend.
Hoodline's earlier report noted rain chances for Halloween weekend, but the shoreline flooding concern remains the more immediate issue for San Francisco.
