San Francisco residents can expect one more stretch of sunshine before a shift toward wetter fall weather arrives later this week. Warm, clear skies will dominate through Wednesday, giving the Bay Area one last taste of summer before rain returns. Drivers on Highway 101 and the Bay Bridge should prepare for slick conditions by Thursday night as scattered showers develop.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will stay sunny with highs near 79 and light winds. Conditions begin changing late Thursday when a 20 percent chance of rain develops after 11 p.m. Friday morning could bring scattered showers before skies clear again.
This midweek pattern means outdoor plans and commutes on Wednesday remain safe, but Thursday night activities may require umbrellas and caution on wet roads. Cooler highs in the low 70s by Friday will signal fall’s arrival across the Bay Area.
Residents are urged to secure outdoor items and check travel plans heading into Friday. Commuters should allow extra travel time and monitor Caltrans updates for potential delays on major roadways, including Highway 101 and I-80.
After Friday, skies clear again with mostly sunny conditions and warming temperatures into the weekend. By Sunday, highs will rebound into the mid-70s, keeping fall mild and manageable for outdoor events.
Warnings remain limited, but forecasters caution that additional advisories could be issued if rain bands strengthen heading into Thursday night.
