California wakes up calm but shifting this morning as filtered sunshine spreads across San Francisco and temperatures climb toward 73 degrees by afternoon. The air feels mild and slightly damp near the Bay, with light winds turning west at 5 to 7 mph. If you’re heading out, enjoy the dry pavement now. Changes arrive before the new month settles in.
According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, clouds increase Sunday with a 30 percent chance of rain developing between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Light showers may linger into early Monday, mainly before 10 a.m., before skies brighten again. While rainfall totals look light, wet roads could greet early commuters across U.S. 101, I-80, and the Bay Bridge approaches.
Across California, this system ties into a broader West Coast pattern shift. An upper-level trough nudges inland while record warmth bakes the desert Southwest. That contrast keeps Northern California cooler, with highs easing into the low 60s Sunday and mid-60s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Plan ahead if traveling late Sunday night into early Monday. Roads may turn slick after weeks of dry stretches, increasing minor collision risk. For now, no wind advisories or flooding concerns are posted, but meteorologists are tracking subtle timing shifts.
March begins tomorrow with seasonable temperatures and mostly sunny skies returning quickly. Longer-range outlooks favor above-normal warmth late next week, hinting at early Spring vibes across the Bay Area.
Daylight Saving Time arrives March 8 at 2 a.m., so prepare for brighter evenings soon.
