SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Golden light glints across the Bay this morning as a calm, clear weekend sets the tone for Northern California’s Thanksgiving travel week. The early chill gives way to comfortable warmth by midday, offering perfect weather for outdoor errands, coastal drives, or early holiday gatherings.
According to the National Weather Service in Monterey, skies will stay mostly sunny across the Bay Area through early next week. Highs climb into the mid-60s to low-60s, while light breezes from the northwest keep the air crisp. Beachgoers, however, should use caution — a Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Monday evening, warning of strong rip currents and sneaker waves along the central California coast.
By Monday, the region will enjoy steady sunshine with highs around 62°F, continuing through Tuesday with similar mild conditions. It’s a quintessential late-November stretch — cool mornings near 48–50°F, warm afternoons, and no major storms expected through Thanksgiving Day.
For travelers, weather across Northern California looks cooperative, with dry roads and light winds expected across major routes like Highway 101, I-80, and I-580. However, models suggest a shift toward wetter, colder conditions in the Pacific Northwest by late Thanksgiving weekend, hinting at a possible early December pattern change.

- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 62°F
