Oakland starts Veterans Day under sunny skies. Temperatures should climb from the mid-50s into the low 70s, making Wednesday one of the week’s better days for getting outside.
A Sunny Day Ahead
The National Weather Service forecast calls for sunny conditions Wednesday.
High Tides Could Flood Low-Lying Shorelines
A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Friday afternoon for low-lying areas near the Bay shoreline and tidal waterways. Wednesday’s high tide is expected around late morning, and elevated tides could cause minor flooding, isolated road closures and water reaching farther up beaches than usual.
Thursday stays relatively mild, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71 degrees. A chance of rain is forecast for Thursday night, with a low around 56.
Friday Brings The Week’s Main Rain
Rain is expected to become widespread Friday, with a high near 65 and rainfall totals potentially reaching between one-third and one-half of an inch. Southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to increase ahead of and along the front, making Friday’s commute a wetter and breezier one across Oakland.
The unsettled pattern continues into the weekend, with additional rain chances Saturday through Monday and cooler highs in the low to mid-60s. Anyone heading to the coast should take the warnings seriously: strong surf, sneaker waves and dangerous rip currents are expected later this week, with the greatest beach danger forecast for Saturday.
