Your Monday forecast features mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures.  Highs should range from the mid 60s near the coast to the low 90s well inland. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in place for the Bay Area coast.

Sunny and spectacular today!

Under wall to wall sunshine, the winds are down and the temperatures are up.  Afternoon highs will range from mid 60s at the coast to mid 80s inland.  Enjoy!

Cool sunshine with a strong breeze

Happy weekend everyone! The system helping to break up the clouds and bring plenty of sunshine is also helping to kick up our winds and cool us down a bit more.  Expect breezy to windy conditions with highs 10-15 degrees below average.  The winds begin to ease and temps. begin to rebound on Sunday. Beach Hazard Statement for elevated risk of sneaker waves and rip currents continues. 

Wind of change blowing your way!

Saturday will likely be the coolest day of the weekend. Many neighborhoods will stay in the 50s and 60s, with only low to mid-70s inland. Clouds linger much of the day and pockets of drizzle or even a little light rain are possible as a cold front passes through the area during the morning hours.  The wind remains gusty Saturday, especially through the hills and mountain passes. Beach Hazard Statement in effect through Wednesday, dangerous beach conditions return to south- and southwest-facing beaches. We tragically saw two deaths and several rescues during the last Beach Hazard Statement. If you’re heading to the coast: • Stay well back from the water’s edge. • Never turn your back on the ocean. • Keep children and pets away from crashing waves. LOOKING AHEAD The marine layer retreats for the Pride parade. A gorgeous Sunday with the temperature of 60 at 10:30 for the beginning of the parade and 70 for a high temp in San Francisco on Sunday. Highs bank between the 60s at the Coast to the low 80s Inland.

Cooler pattern

Low clouds will blanket a good portion of the Bay Area Thursday morning.  The clouds will clear back to near the shoreline later in the day.  Highs should range from the low 60s to the mid 80s. A cooler system will move into the area Friday.  Winds will be increasing too.  Gusts could approach 40 mph.

Final Coastal Warning: Deadly Sneaker Wave Risk Active Through Wednesday
video

The brief midweek heat spike peaks tomorrow, but a major upper-level storm system will arrive by Friday to slash temperatures and bring howling, 40-mph wind gusts through the weekend. 1. Final Hours for the Beach Warning (Wednesday Expiration) The Threat: The long-period southerly swell is still actively battering the coast this evening. The Window: The Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect until Wednesday 5 PM. Danger: Deceptive sneaker waves and intense rip currents remain highly active on all Pacific beaches. 2. Tonight's Coastal Visibility Alert The Impact: Because the marine layer is shallower tonight (1,200 feet), the fog will not spread quite as far inland as previous nights. Instead, it will pack tightly against the coastal hills. The Hazard: Expect dense fog and rapid visibility drops along immediate coastal highways and coastal terrain through Wednesday morning with localized drizzle.. 3. Midweek Heat Peak (Wednesday & Thursday) The Trend: Subtle high pressure is compressing the marine layer to around 1,200 feet. Because of this, tomorrow morning's fog will clear out earlier than today. The Numbers: Inland valleys will reach the mid/high 80s which is seasonal!

Warming trend

Welcome to summer! A warmer pattern will settle into the Bay Area over the next 3 days.  Low clouds will resurface near the coast and bay Monday morning.  The clouds will clear back to near the coast later in the day.  Highs should range from the mid 60s to the upper 80s.

Classic pattern for first day of summer
video

Happy 1st day of summer everyone!  Mother nature is responding with a minor warm up, especially inland.  Low clouds and patchy drizzle will clear out to mostly sunny skies for most today.  High will range from 60s in Pacifica to 80s inland.  

Summer arrives for Father's day
video

Father's Day will be pleasant, as a weak ridge of high pressure moves into the region. It will bring sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures away from the coast, though dangerous beach conditions and an upcoming midweek heat spike remain the main long-term concerns. 1. Father's Day Weather • The Forecast: It is looking like a beautiful Father’s Day across the area. A weak, incoming ridge of high pressure is compressing the marine layer, allowing morning clouds to clear out much faster than they did today. • The Temperatures: Inland will climb several degrees higher than yesterday, reaching comfortable highs in the 70s to mid-80s. • The Coast Note: While inland areas bask in the sun, coastal beaches will struggle to see clearing and will remain cool and overcast with only brief clearing.  2. Beach Warning Extended • The Threat: Powerful storms in the Southern Hemisphere are continuing to churn up the Pacific Ocean.  • The Warning: A Beach Hazards Statement has been officially extended through Wednesday afternoon for all Pacific coastlines, especially steep beaches in the North Bay, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties. • Danger: Deceptive sneaker waves can surge dozens of feet up dry sand completely unannounced during long lulls in the surf. Combined with severe rip currents, swimming is highly hazardous. Stay off coastal rocks and never turn your back on the ocean.

More of the same today with changes arriving tomorrow
video

Happy weekend everyone! A near repeat in weather is expected for the final day of spring.  Partly sunny at the coast to mostly sunny inland is in the afternoon forecast with temps. ranging from low 60s in Pacifica to Upper 70s in Livermore.  A warming trend begins for Father's Day and first day of summer. 

Summer arrives Sunday, but will it FEEL like it?
video

Tomorrow will be a near-carbon copy of today. Expect a cloudy morning with patchy coastal drizzle followed by slow clearing to the coast, keeping daytime temperatures below seasonal temperatures. A contrast between the cloudy coast and sunlit inland areas will spin up strong onshore winds. Expect widespread gusts of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. Highs will bank from low-mid 60s at the Coast to 81 inland. A Beach Hazards Statement remains active through early Sunday for sneaker waves and dangerous rip currents. Do NOT turn your back to the ocean and stay out of the water. The cooling upper trough will lose its grip as shortwave high pressure begins compressing the marine layer, starting a subtle warming trend on Father's Day and the first day of summer on Sunday.

Cooling trend

The Bay Area cooling trend continues.  Low clouds and drizzle return to the area Friday morning. Partly sunny skies are expected later in day.  Winds will be picking up again (20 - 35 mph).  Highs should range from the low 60s to the upper 70s. The Beach Hazards Statement is in effect until 5 am Sunday.

The heat eases, but another weather hazard remains
video

Sneaker Wave Threat: The Beach Hazards Statement has been extended for all SF/Bay Area Pacific coastlines through 5 AM Thursday.  Powerful southerly swells are creating random, massive waves that can surge high up the dry sand without warning. Late-Night Flooding: The Coastal Flood Advisory is active until 5:00 AM Wednesday for the SF coast. Keep vehicles away from low-lying coastal parking lots and frontages tonight, as tides will crest up to 2 feet above normal around midnight  The weather ridge over the West Coast has peaked and a cooling trend begins tomorrow. 1. Updated High Tide Windows (Heading into Midweek) Astronomical factors and ocean swells are keeping late-night tides dangerously high, though water levels are beginning a very slow step-down from the weekend peak. Tonight (Late Tuesday Night / Wednesday Morning): Water levels will crest at 12:56 AM tonight, spiking a significant 1.7 feet above normal (hitting 7.5 feet) Expect saltwater flooding on low-lying bayshore and coastal roads. Tomorrow Night (Late Wednesday Night / Thursday Morning): The final peak of this cycle arrives at 1:51 AM Thursday, tracking at 1.2 feet above normal (7.1 feet)  2. Fog Schedule Tonight's Fog Timeline: The marine layer is holding steady at 1,100 to 1,500 feet.Expect another widespread blanketing of coastal areas and West San Francisco by Wednesday morning. 3. Temperature & Wind Wednesday (The Cooldown Begins): The upper-level high-pressure system begins breaking down tomorrow. While the coast will stay in the 60s under marine influence, inland locations will drop 2 to 5 degrees cooler than today, but still above average East Bay. Southwest breezy winds 10 - 20 mph. Enjoy your Wednesday! 

Slightly warmer Tuesday

A unique double-threat of historic summer high tides and deadly sneaker waves will impact local coastlines through the middle of the week.   1. MORE Historic Summer Tides. Nightly localized flooding will continue along low-lying areas of the San Francisco Bayshore and Pacific Coast. Sunday's new moon and lunar perigee, combined with warm ocean water and rising sea levels, are pushing tides up to 2.0 feet above normal .This event is on track to become the highest summer tide ever recorded in the Bay Area. Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until early Wednesday morning for the inner Bayshore. Avoid parking or driving in low-lying coastal areas.  2. Beach Warning: A Beach Hazards Statement is active across all Bay Area Pacific beaches through late Tuesday night. Monday temps will be holding from 65 at the Coast to 90 Inland.   The west side of San Francisco (including the Sunset and Richmond districts) and the immediate Pacific coast will remain locked in this foggy, sunless pattern for the next few days.

Slightly cooler
