From clouds to heat
A weak system could produce a few sprinkles or spotty drizzle Tuesday morning. The clouds will be clearing later in the day. Highs should range from the low 60s to the mid 80s. Our weather focus will then shift to the heat. We are expecting a big temperature bounce Wednesday. Thursday should be the hottest day of the week. Some inland areas could approach 102 degrees. Dry winds will also be increasing from the north. Fire danger, as a result, will be increasing by midweek.

Friday Sizzle to Monday Drizzle
The Forecast: Day-by-Day Tonight: Skies remain mostly clear inland. The coastal fog machine will stay confined mostly to the Monterey Bay region and parts of the SF Peninsula by Friday morning.

Only the furthest inlkand spots will hit a "Moderate Heat Risk," while beaches stay in the 60s thanks to a refreshing afternoon sea breeze. Beach Hazard Statement in effect Friday through Saturday 9 AM for sneaker waves and rip currents. The Weekend Shift: The cold front hits Saturday. Temperatures will plunge 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal averages for both Saturday and Sunday (but still a couple degrees above average inland!).

From June Gloom To June Jump!
We are on a weather roller coaster. After a massive temperature jump today, Thursday and Friday will bring the peak of this week's early-summer heat under clear, sunny skies. However, a cold storm system from the Gulf of Alaska is timing its arrival perfectly to knock temperatures down significantly just in time for the weekend. Short-Term Forecast (Tonight through Friday) Tonight: The coastal fog machine is starting back up, but it will remain shallow. Expect patchy low clouds to hug the San Francisco Peninsula and the Monterey Bay region by Thursday morning. Thursday: Morning clouds clear quickly for a stellar, sun-drenched afternoon. Highs will range from the 60s on the coast, the 70s and 80s around the Bay and a hot upper 80s to mid-90s in the far interior valleys. Friday: A true "rinse and repeat" day. Temperatures will hold steady as the warmest day of the week, offering perfect patio weather across the inland neighborhoods. Long-Term Forecast (The Weekend through Next Tuesday) The Saturday Shift: A weak cold front pushes south through the area, bringing a sudden, 10-degree drop in temperatures across the board. (But, still very nice weather!) The Weekend Air Conditioning: Strong, gusty onshore winds will kick up on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The marine layer will deepen dramatically, bringing back widespread gray mornings and the threat of damp coastal drizzle. Early Next Week: The cooling trend deepens into Monday and Tuesday, keeping temperatures well below normal for June.
