San Francisco, CA – San Francisco will face another day of strong, gusty winds on Wednesday. The persistent breezes will impact commutes and outdoor activities across the city. Residents should prepare for winds that could make travel challenging, especially for high-profile vehicles on area bridges. The breezy conditions are part of a larger pattern affecting the Bay Area this week.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will be partly sunny before gradually becoming sunny. The high temperature will be near 62 degrees. A breezy west wind is expected at 19 to 26 mph. These conditions follow a similarly windy Tuesday, which saw gusts climb as high as 32 mph.
The brisk winds create potentially difficult conditions on open roadways. Drivers of large trucks and vans should use extra caution on bridges and overpasses. At home, residents should secure loose items like patio umbrellas and garbage bins that could be blown away. The persistent winds will also create choppy waters on the bay, affecting marine activities.
While winds will remain a key feature, the weather pattern shifts toward sunnier skies by the end of the week. Temperatures will climb into the upper 60s on Thursday, offering a warmer feel despite the breeze.
