California – Gray water laps higher along the shoreline as early light reflects off damp pavement near the Embarcadero. The air feels cool and heavy, with a hint of salt, as coastal hazards take shape across the San Francisco Bay Area.
According to the National Weather Service, a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for San Francisco and nearby coastlines through Sunday afternoon. Minor flooding is possible during high tide cycles, especially in low-lying waterfront areas. A Beach Hazards Statement is also active, warning of stronger waves and dangerous surf conditions.
Temperatures stay mild but subdued. Highs reach the low 60s today, with clouds mixing with sun and light winds. Patchy fog develops late tonight and into early Sunday, reducing visibility near the coast and around the Bay. Drivers should slow down on bridges and shoreline roads where damp surfaces and fog combine.
By Monday, drier air settles in. Skies turn mostly sunny, and daytime highs hold in the mid-60s. Nights remain cool, hovering in the upper 40s. Tuesday and Wednesday trend brighter and slightly warmer, with highs climbing toward the upper 60s by midweek.
While California remains calm, meteorologists continue tracking a powerful Arctic blast east of the Rockies. Nearly half of the Great Lakes are frozen, reinforcing bitter cold across the Midwest and East. That pattern keeps California mild but also signals sharper contrasts nationwide as February begins.
For now, Bay Area residents should plan around tides, avoid exposed beaches, and allow extra time if traveling near the waterfront. Conditions remain manageable, but awareness matters during peak tides.
More updates are expected if coastal advisories are extended or expanded. How high did the water get near you this morning?
