California – Low clouds hang over San Francisco this midday, muting the skyline and leaving damp pavement across US-101 and I-280 as visibility hovers near a mile in spots.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly cloudy skies hold through late morning before gradual clearing develops by early afternoon. Highs reach near 66°F, with light west winds increasing to around 10 mph, adding a cool edge along the waterfront and bridges.
Across downtown, Daly City, and South San Francisco, the gray layer lingers longest near the coast. Drivers may notice slick patches on shaded roads and reduced visibility approaching tunnel entrances. Plan extra time through early afternoon, especially along elevated roadways like the Bay Bridge.
Sun breaks out more consistently into Tuesday, pushing highs toward 67°F, followed by a warmer midweek surge. By Wednesday afternoon, inland areas climb to near 70°F under full sunshine, offering a brief stretch of spring warmth. To be fair, mornings stay brisk in the low to mid-50s, so layers still matter.
Conditions shift quickly late in the week. Increasing clouds by Thursday signal incoming rain, with showers developing after midday and continuing into the evening commute. Wet roads could trigger sudden slowdowns after several dry days.
Stay weather-aware as timing may tighten. Are you seeing clearing skies yet or still under the cloud deck?
