San Francisco drivers may hit slick conditions Monday evening as the Bay Area heads into an unsettled stretch of fall weather. Motorists traveling the Bay Bridge and I-80 should prepare for reduced visibility and wet roads during commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, a 40 percent chance of rain arrives Monday after 11 a.m., with higher chances Monday night and again Tuesday evening. Winds from the south could gust up to 15 mph, raising risks of travel delays on bridges and along coastal highways.
While rainfall totals are expected to stay light, the timing of showers could complicate travel. Evening commuters should allow extra time and avoid sudden stops on slick surfaces. Transit riders may also face minor service delays during peak rain windows.
Temperatures hold near 70 degrees through Wednesday before easing slightly into the low 70s for Thursday and Friday. Sunshine returns midweek, but forecasters note another system could arrive later in the week as October begins, keeping conditions unsettled.
Residents should keep umbrellas handy, charge devices in case of isolated outages, and monitor local alerts as the weather pattern shifts. Showers remain possible until late Wednesday night, but clearer skies are expected by Thursday morning.
