San Francisco Bay Area, CA – Residents across parts of the Bay Area and Central Coast are being urged to prepare for chilly overnight temperatures early Monday, as a Cold Weather Advisory takes effect during the morning commute hours.
According to the National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area/Monterey, the advisory is in effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday, impacting the East Bay Interior Valleys, North Bay Valleys, southern Monterey County, and interior San Benito County.
Forecasters say low temperatures in the low to mid-30s are expected across most advisory areas, with even colder conditions possible in the far southern Salinas Valley, where temperatures could dip into the upper 20s.
Officials warn that the cold conditions pose a heightened risk to unhoused individuals, seniors, pets, and livestock, particularly during prolonged exposure overnight and early morning hours. The National Weather Service also cautioned that sensitive crops, plants, and vegetation could be damaged or killed if precautions are not taken.
Drivers heading out early Monday should be aware that colder inland valleys may also experience patchy frost, especially in rural and agricultural areas.
Residents are encouraged to:
- Check on vulnerable neighbors
- Bring pets indoors
- Protect outdoor plants and exposed pipes
- Limit extended outdoor exposure during the advisory window
The cold advisory is expected to expire by mid-morning Monday, as temperatures gradually rebound later in the day.
