California – Sunshine is lighting up San Francisco this afternoon, but a shift toward wet pavement and reduced visibility is already lining up for the start of the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service, highs climb to around 71°F today under clear skies, with light winds turning west later in the day . That mild, dry pattern continues into Saturday with temperatures peaking near 72°F before clouds begin to increase.
Across downtown San Francisco, Oakland, and along the I-80 corridor, conditions stay favorable for travel through the weekend. Expect good visibility and dry roads, though cooler ocean air keeps coastal neighborhoods slightly brisk. By Sunday, highs dip to around 68°F with partly sunny skies, signaling a gradual transition.
Rain chances begin to develop late Sunday night, with about a 40% chance of showers after late evening. Roads could turn slick quickly after several dry days, especially on elevated roadways and bridges like the Bay Bridge. Plan extra travel time if driving early Monday.
Monday brings a steadier rain threat with highs near 65°F and widespread wet conditions. By Tuesday, rain becomes more persistent, with showers likely before late morning and even a chance of a thunderstorm developing. Visibility could drop quickly in heavier bursts.
Looking ahead, a warmer pattern may return by midweek, with temperatures rebounding toward the mid-80s.
