San Francisco, California – A surge of patchy drizzle and strong west winds will challenge weekend plans across San Francisco this Saturday, July 26th, as summer’s chill returns to the city. Residents and visitors should prepare for cloudy skies and a breezy afternoon, with outdoor activities along the Embarcadero, Golden Gate Park, and travel on I-80 and US-101 facing weather-related slowdowns.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy drizzle is likely before 11 a.m. on Saturday. Skies remain mostly cloudy with a high near 64°F. Winds will pick up from the west, reaching 10 to 14 mph and gusts as high as 21 mph. These gusts could impact drivers crossing the Bay Bridge and those heading north toward Marin. Pack a light jacket and allow extra travel time if you’re commuting or exploring the city.
The marine layer lingers Saturday night, keeping clouds overhead and lows near 56°F. Sunday brings some relief, with sunshine breaking through and highs climbing to 67°F. Breezy conditions persist into Sunday night, dipping into the mid-50s. By Monday, clear skies and warmer temperatures return, topping out at 68°F and making it a great day to enjoy outdoor dining or walks along the waterfront.
Preparedness Tip: Fog and drizzle can reduce visibility. Turn on headlights in the morning and watch for slick spots, especially on bridges and ramps. Stay weather aware if planning hikes or bike rides in hilly neighborhoods.
What’s Next: Dry and mostly sunny weather dominates the Bay Area by Monday, but gusty winds could return midweek. The National Weather Service will update advisories if patterns shift.
