San Francisco, California – After a stretch of early July heat, Bay Area residents can expect relief as a steady cooling trend arrives this weekend and continues through Thursday. Inland temperatures, including Livermore and Cloverdale, are set to fall by nearly 10 degrees, with much of the region enjoying mild, comfortable conditions by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area, highs in Livermore will slide from 97°F Saturday down to the mid-80s by Wednesday and Thursday, while Cloverdale and Concord see similar drops. Coastal cities like Monterey, Pacifica, and Half Moon Bay will maintain highs in the 60s, with morning lows staying in the 50s across the board.
Travelers should note that this cooler pattern means less risk of heat-related impacts for vulnerable groups, but morning fog and slick roads may return along Highway 1 and other coastal routes. Residents in inland areas—especially Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and Hollister—should continue to hydrate and avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours until the cooling trend sets in fully.
This stretch marks the first notable cooldown of July and offers a break from earlier above-normal temperatures.
The cooling trend is forecast to last through Thursday, with further updates and potential advisories from the NWS expected if conditions change.
