California – A crisp breeze sweeps across the Bay early, rattling flags and drying pavement as daylight builds. Skies stay clear, but the air carries a sharp winter edge that commuters will notice right away.
According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, northeast winds strengthen this morning, with gusts pushing near 30 mph in exposed areas. Afternoon sunshine helps temperatures climb into the mid-60s, though it will feel cooler along the water and on bridges.
Winds ease this evening, allowing temperatures to fall quickly after sunset. Lows dip into the upper 40s across the city, with colder pockets inland. Clear skies Friday night support good visibility, but the quick cooldown may leave damp spots on shaded roads early.
Saturday brings calmer conditions. Mostly sunny skies return with highs near 64, keeping outdoor plans comfortable by midday. By Saturday night, clouds increase slightly, holding temperatures near the upper 40s.
Sunday stays mostly sunny and cooler, topping out near 63. Morning walkers should expect a bite in the air, especially near the Embarcadero and Twin Peaks. Drivers heading out early should watch for condensation on roadways before full sunshine arrives.
MLK Day Monday offers a quieter weather window. Sunshine dominates with highs near 62, making it a solid day for parades, travel, and outdoor events. Patchy fog may form early Monday night into Tuesday morning, briefly reducing visibility on I-80, US-101, and surface streets.
Looking ahead to midweek, more frequent fog and cooler afternoons settle in, keeping winter firmly in place. Conditions remain dry, but mornings stay chilly. Plan layers and extra travel time during early hours. Noticing fog or gusts where you live? Share what you’re seeing around the Bay.
