San Francisco commuters and eventgoers should brace for damp roads Friday night into Saturday morning, as drizzle lingers across the Bay Area. The moisture could slick stretches of Highway 101 and I-280, creating minor delays for early travelers.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy drizzle will continue overnight Friday with low visibility in coastal neighborhoods. Saturday morning may bring spotty wet conditions before skies clear by midday. Winds out of the west will range from 5 to 14 mph, with occasional gusts.
While Saturday begins with gray skies, the afternoon will brighten to near 71 degrees, creating ideal conditions for outdoor gatherings and early football games. By Sunday, sunny skies dominate with highs climbing to 73, making it the best day of the weekend for sports fans and beachgoers.
Residents should use caution on wet roads before 11 a.m. Saturday, particularly near the Bay Bridge approaches and coastal highways. Organizers of morning outdoor events should plan for light drizzle and damp seating areas, but conditions will improve quickly.
Looking ahead, Monday holds another chance of early drizzle before mostly sunny skies return. Temperatures remain consistent in the low 70s through midweek, keeping the Bay Area under a stable late-summer pattern.
Expect patchy drizzle again late Monday night into early Tuesday, but afternoons should stay pleasant and dry.
Warnings remain limited, but the National Weather Service will issue updates if drizzle thickens or visibility worsens during commutes.
