San Francisco, CA – Elevated fire weather conditions are expected in San Francisco through Thursday, with sunny and dry days ahead, combined with gusty winds that may reach up to 33 mph. These conditions increase the risk of wildfires, and residents are urged to exercise extreme caution to prevent accidental ignition, especially in areas with dry vegetation. Be aware of local burn bans and avoid any activity that could create sparks, such as using grills on grass or disposing of cigarettes carelessly.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday and Wednesday will bring highs of around 71 degrees with clear skies and mild winds that may reach 20 mph in the afternoon. Overnight lows are expected to drop to the low 50s, maintaining the dry conditions that fuel fire risks. The NWS advises residents to secure trailers and equipment to prevent sparks and to avoid driving or parking on dry grass.
The forecast shows sunny days continuing into Thursday with highs around 70 and light winds. Although these temperatures are typical for November, the ongoing dryness and light winds increase the fire risk. The NWS emphasizes the importance of following local fire regulations and having a clear, defensible space around properties. Residents are also encouraged to avoid outdoor burning, use gravel surfaces for grills, and safely extinguish all fires, even small ones.
