Oakland is starting Sunday with patchy fog, light winds and temperatures in the mid-50s before the clouds loosen their grip. Skies should turn partly sunny by late morning, with the afternoon warming to around 70 degrees and no rain in sight.
High Tides Put Bay Shorelines On Notice
The National Weather Service in San Francisco says a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Friday afternoon for low-lying areas along San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. At the San Francisco gauge, Sunday's high tide is expected around 10:06 a.m., reaching about 1.6 feet above normal and potentially flooding shoreline infrastructure, roads and tidal waterways.
The latest outlook builds on Saturday's Oakland forecast, with elevated tides continuing through the week. Drivers should allow extra time near waterfront routes, avoid barricades and never drive through water of unknown depth.
Warm Stretch Runs Through Veterans Day
Monday should bring another foggy start followed by partly sunny skies and a high near 71. Tuesday is expected to reach 72 degrees, while Veterans Day on Wednesday looks sunny and warmer, with a high near 75.
The dry spell may begin to crack late Thursday and Friday, when slight chances of light rain enter the forecast. Friday's high should be near 69, followed by a cooler Saturday near 67 with a better chance of showers.
Pacific Beaches Remain Dangerous
Anyone heading from Oakland to the Pacific Coast should be especially cautious through Monday. Forecasters warn of 12- to 16-foot breaking waves at exposed beaches, larger waves at favored break points, sneaker waves and strong rip currents.
The warning is not a great match for casual shoreline wandering: stay off jetties, rocks, piers and other waterside structures, and remain out of the water unless you are an experienced swimmer. Waves can surge much farther up the beach than expected.
