SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – A low blanket of clouds hovers over the Bay early this Saturday morning, dimming the city skyline as drizzle dampens Market Street and fog curls around the Golden Gate. The first of two quick-hitting systems will brush the Bay Area today, bringing patchy rain before drier, brighter air returns by Monday.
The National Weather Service in Monterey reports a 60% chance of rain through late morning, tapering by midday as a light southwest wind develops. Roads will stay slick for several hours, especially along I-280 and Highway 101, where puddles could linger through the afternoon. Rainfall totals remain light—generally less than a tenth of an inch—but enough to slow early errands or weekend travel plans.
Sunday offers a transition day with only a 30% chance of scattered showers, mainly inland near the East Bay hills. Temperatures rise slightly, reaching the upper 60s to near 70°F, and winds ease. By Monday, high pressure reclaims the coast, bringing bright sun, calm breezes, and highs near 70°F—ideal for outdoor plans or early Halloween decorating.
The pattern holds into midweek with mostly clear skies and cool nights in the mid-50s. Coastal areas stay mild, while inland valleys dip into the upper 40s before sunrise.
It’s the perfect pause before November’s first chill arrives.
