Weather

Temperatures are cooling this weekend, and areas in the North Bay may even see some light precipitation.

A disturbance will be moving in from the north Friday. We should have a split forecast in the Bay Area. Mostly sunny skies are expected in the South Bay. The clouds and shower chances will be favoring the North Bay. Sunshine returns this weekend. An unusually strong system could approach the Bay Area early next week. Have a great weekend! -Mark

A shot of light rain comes through Friday, generally limited to Sonoma County where a few hundredths of an inch will fall in the valleys and a tenth to two tenths of an inch in the coastal ranges.

We are expecting a cloudy start Thursday morning. Drizzle has also been added to the forecast. The afternoon forecast features a mixture of sun and clouds. Highs should range from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. A cool system will move in Friday. Shower chances will be focused in the North Bay. Dry weather returns this weekend.

Satellite imagery shows extensive stratus coverage across the North Bay, barring interior Napa County, parts of the East Bay from Concord and Mount Diablo west to the Bay, extending as far south as Hayward, the city of San Francisco, western San Mateo County, Santa Cruz County and most of the southern Monterey Bay region. The clouds will retreat towards the coast through the day, but most of Sonoma and Marin Counties, in addition to western San Mateo County and Santa Cruz County, are expected to remain socked in through the rest of the day. High temperatures range from mid 60s at the Beaches to upper 70s well Inland with breezy winds 10 t0 20 mph. Expect drizzle or light showers mainly San Francisco to the North on Thursday morning for the commute.

Today will be cooler, in the 60s and 70s.

The one thing consistent about autumn is: Change! Another change is coming your way Wednesday with a big drop in temperatures! Out of the 90s to the 70 for the Inland areas! So, Wednesday will start off cloudy along the Coast, Bay and Peninsula, then sunshine for all. Mid 60s Beaches, 70s elsewhere! Breezy afternoon winds westerly 10-20 mph. Drizzle for Thursday morning...details coming up tomorrow morning beginning at 4am on "Mornings on 2!"

Our warm to hot stretch is coming to an end. Low clouds will blanket a good potion of the Bay Area Wednesday morning. Partly cloudy skies are expected later in the day. Highs should range from the low 60s to the upper 70s. A system will drop in from the north later in the week. Shower chances have been added to the Friday forecast. Highest chances will be focused up in the North Bay.

The warm to hot pattern lasts for one more day. Tuesday afternoon highs should range from the mid 70s at the coast to the low 90s inland. The cooler pattern settles into the area later in the week. A disturbance will bring in more clouds by Friday. Shower chances could be added to the forecast as well.

Today will be sunny and warm. Temps in the 80s.

Dry, offshore flow will move into the Bay Area Monday. While this pattern increases the fire danger, Red Flag Warnings are not in effect (the recent rain is helping us out too). Mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures will highlight the Monday forecast. Highs should range from the mid 70s to the upper 80s. We could be tracking rain chances later in the week.

Warmer and drier conditions through midweek, with moderate offshore wind expected through Tuesday in the higher elevations.

After a stretch of unsettled weather this week, sunshine and mild to warm temperatures are back. Highs today range from upper 60s at the coast to low 80s inland.

While the weather will remain nice with seasonal temperatures and sunny afternoons through the weekend, the pattern will gradually evolve. High Pressure is now building into the Bay Area. Meanwhile, a trough of low pressure develops over the Central Valley, another offshore this sets the stage for windy conditions starting as early as late Saturday through Monday. While it still looks like a moderate strength event, offshore winds in October can bring fire weather concerns, however, the moderate speed and recent wet weather are mitigating factors this time.

Todays temps will mostly be in the high 70s.

Isolated showers are popping up in the North Bay and the San Mateo Coast tonight, then expect mostly cloudy skies and cooler overnight lows in the 40s and 50s. Friday will be mostly cloudy with sunny breaks and a chance of a random shower in the afternoon. It will be breezy/windy with west winds 10-20 mph. Less humid! Dry weather is on tap for the weekend and remaining breezy with an offshore flow.
