San Francisco drivers may face slick morning commutes as drizzle combines with gusty winds across the Bay Area Thursday and Friday. Reduced visibility and wet pavement could slow traffic along Highway 101 and I-80, especially during peak hours.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy drizzle is likely before 11 a.m. Thursday, followed by partly sunny skies with highs near 70. Winds from the southwest could reach 20 mph, making bridges and coastal routes especially challenging for drivers. Commuters should allow extra travel time and use headlights during morning hours.
Drizzle is expected again late Thursday into early Friday, with lows around 60 degrees. Friday brings similar conditions: light morning drizzle, breezy winds up to 18 mph, and partly sunny skies by afternoon. Overnight lows will dip to the upper 50s.
The weekend outlook improves with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70s Saturday and Sunday. Winds remain moderate but dry weather dominates, making conditions ideal for outdoor events. By Monday and Tuesday, another slight chance of rain returns, but showers remain light and brief.
Residents should stay alert for changing conditions overnight, particularly on higher elevation roads where visibility drops quickly. The National Weather Service may issue additional advisories if drizzle intensifies or winds strengthen.
