San Francisco, CA – A crisp, sunny stretch will settle over the Bay Area this weekend, bringing mild afternoons and cooler nights but no major hazards. Winds that gusted up to 20 mph Thursday night are expected to ease Friday, making for calmer conditions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area, skies will stay clear through at least early next week, with daytime highs climbing into the upper 60s to low 70s across San Francisco and nearby coastal counties. Overnight lows will dip into the mid-to-upper 50s, cool enough for light jackets during late evening hours.
West winds will remain a factor near the coast Friday, gusting up to 21 mph at times, especially along Highway 1 and higher terrain in Marin and San Mateo Counties. By Saturday, winds become lighter, making for ideal conditions for outdoor events, farmers markets, and weekend travel across the Bay Area’s bridges and freeways.
With the fall sun and dry air, residents are advised to stay hydrated and keep extra layers handy for evening outings. NWS meteorologists emphasized the lack of rain through midweek, noting that drought-sensitive vegetation may continue drying out. Cal Fire also reminds residents to avoid outdoor burning and secure equipment that could spark grass fires, especially in the North Bay hills.
Looking ahead, highs hold steady in the low 70s into Tuesday, keeping San Francisco’s weather comfortable and steady into early October.
