SAN FRANCISCO – Streetlights glint off damp pavement in the early morning dark, the city wrapped in the soft hush of passing drizzle. A few showers are brushing the Bay Area this Sunday, marking a fleeting wet start before a stretch of sunshine and warmer air arrives for the final days of October.
According to the National Weather Service in Monterey, rain chances linger through late morning, with the highest odds near coastal hills and downtown San Francisco. Winds will shift southwest and strengthen briefly, gusting up to 25–30 mph before easing later today. Most locations will see less than a tenth of an inch — just enough to slick the roads and cool the air before skies begin to clear this afternoon.
By Monday, drier air sweeps across Northern California, and the week turns sunny, calm, and mild. Afternoon highs reach the upper 60s Monday and climb into the low to mid-70s Tuesday through Thursday — ideal for outdoor plans, commutes, or early Halloween decorating. Nights remain cool and crisp, with lows dipping into the low 50s across the city and upper 40s inland.
The week stays stable, but models hint at a pattern shift late next weekend — possibly introducing cooler Pacific air and the first signs of a chilly November. For now, Bay Area residents can expect a quiet, sun-filled lead-up to Halloween, with clear skies likely for Friday’s trick-or-treaters.
